Do you live in NYC or know any family/friends who do? If so during the US Open, you can go to the MB booth and sign up for another $500 off (or whatever they are offering) for a new MB.

 

 

Awesome congrats! Whats your build and what timeframe were you told it will take to arrive? Im also currently looking to order one and doing my research still.

Which dealer was this? Would you mind PMing me the info?

Thanks!

 

 

12.5% off??

 

 

I'm not saying that this is BS, but you are a magician! 12.5% off on a brand new car is just wow!

 

 

A dealer gets 7% margin plus hold back which I think is 2-3% and with a new model there would be no trunk money so why would a dealer give you 10 % on an ordered car? Sometimes it happens if the car has been in inventory for a long time and the floor plan cost is eating them up.
You really do not have a order till they give you an allocation and give you a print out of it. Any one coming in to pay full price or less of a discount will probably go ahead of you.

 

 

Hi guys I just placed my order about two days ago. My salesperson is waiting for his new sales manager to get in today to button everything up. I’ve done deposit and speced out etc. My question is what should I expect to get from my salesman one the order is locked in for good. Do I get some
kind of packet of Info with the build Info or estimated dates of production or what. As of now it doesn’t seem real.

 

Demand a build sheet with your name on it and a PO #. I have heard of sales people making arrangements with clients but there isn’t an actual allocation placed in the client’s name. When you order a car you take one of the dealer’s allocated cars in your name and then you are able to modify before the car is actually built. Since that point the car has your name attached to its build sheet. Good luck and congrats!

 

that is completely false and if your dealership tells you that you should find another dealer. also 2k- 5k deposit is absurd.

deposits are fully refundable. you’re not a fortune teller and no one knows what can happen within those 3-4 months (best case scenario) of waiting for a car. you can change your mind even the day the car gets to the dealership.

 

Agree. I put a $1k deposit down in March or last year and finally put in the order in July. With all the delays, I got impatient and and bought one off the lot from another dealership in January. The original dealership refunded my deposit without me even asking.

 

’

what ever happened with your car ??

i was interested in that 12% off discount

 

Thanks. That’s basically where I’m at but I have a really good salesman according dealer rater. Best one at the best dealership in my area. He let me know today that they hope to have an allocation for me by the end of next week! Time will tell. Excited!

 

Good luck. Be persistent and keep asking for a PO that shows your name.

 

Should be hearing about an allocation tomorrow! I’ll keep posted. Is this usually a several month wait just to get allocation?

 

I don't believe that it should take much time at all for an allocation. It depends on the dealership and how many cars they sell. If they sell a bunch, they get more allocations. I had mine very quickly, and then the order sheet followed the same day from the SA.

 

One of the dealers in my area stated there were no current immediate allocations available in the country. Not sure what to make of that but we will see what happens. Worst case I don’t get an allocation and don’t buy a car I don’t need lol
