How do you negotiate an ordered car?
Subject says it all. While I have bought over a dozen cars in my time I have never ordered one. What is the process when negotiating price on a car you order from Mercedes and what sort of discounts do you typically see versus buying one off the lot?
Thanks in advance!

You negotiate an order the same way you negotiate a car on the lot. Print out the invoice and sticker price of the car and its options and know your stuff. If you agree on a price then you will be expected to put a deposit down and the order sheet should list fees, etc.
I just did this with my M3. As to what the market is presently bearing right now on the C63 I don't know.

We wrote up an order with all the figures on it and I put down a deposit. My car came in a few months later and everything went well. No surprises.

I placed my order at the beginning of June, a few months before the prices were announced so I didn't have a choice then. I won't leave it till delivery, around the production date I'll go see them and talk about the pricing so there is no surprises. Since the Coupe is new this year and there are production delays I'm not expecting miracles when it comes to discounts but we'll see what I can get out of them using the readily avaible M3s and CTS-V coupes as leverage.
