For those who pre-ordered 2019 C43, how much discount did you get
Hi everyone, I am new to the forum and am looking to pre-order the 2019 C43 AMG Coupe. This is my first time pre-ordering a car, so I would like to know if there will be any discount and if so, how much will be a good deal? Thanks in advance!

Not to be the bearer of bad news, but you are ordering a car that is a new mdoel. Most MB dealers, atleast the ones in the states are not going to give you a massive discount on a new AMG model that also happens to be an order unit. They will have customers that pay closer to sticker for the first few months until more order allocations open up.
If you have a buddy that works for a dealership that can hook you up, awesome. Otherwise I think you are going to be disappointed when you find that none of the dealers in your area are willing to go much below invoice on an order unit for a new model.
Where you are located will matter as well. Areas that are overpopulated with MB dealers are more willing to negotiate.

You should photoshop your name on his sales menu and take it to your dealer. Tell them to price match it!

Yes they are. Sedans are Alabama made and have more margin, but the cost on the German car is the same. I could be wrong but why do you think this?

Coupes will not see the same as Sedans. A lot of people here have Sedans. The Coupe will be treated as more limited/expensive. Expect decent discount on sedan, expect close to nothing on coupe.

If you build a base model on MB Canada and an identical base model on MB USA the Canadian model has an MSRP that is substantially less once you adjust for the currency values. The difference in equivalent MSRP is between 15-20% depending on how you option the vehicle. Base CDN models are nearly 20% cheaper than their US counterparts. Fully loaded, the gap closes to about 15%.
Realistically, what this represents is much more margin built in for dealers in the US market. So a good discount in Canada is much smaller than a good discount in the US because the US base price and US margin are much higher.

I'm planning to upgrade soon and I expect to get about 10% off on a special order 2019 coupe. If I settle for a 2018 I'll demand 12% and I'll get it.
This will be my third special ordered MB vehicle so I'm familiar with the process.

Negotiate the price as a % discount from MSRP before the car arrives. You should walk away if they don't give you at least 8% off. It's easy to get to 8%, getting above 10% takes a bit more effort.

so im getting offers from dealers at invoice and one dealer said they could do $200 under invoice. Is that good? Or can I do better?
