I managed to get a little more than 5% off on mine. I negotiated down to $150 over invoice and made them tint the windows. I love it!

CLA45AMG2.0

I bought mine during a sale and my family also knew the salesman. I got 4k+ and some change off of MSRP. Goodluck getting a fat discount As long as you don't special order it and whatever, I think you should be fine getting about 1-2 off if you're lucky.

Thanks so much for telling me. They were tryna give me 500 under msrp cause it was an AMG. I was like heck no. Someone got 150 over invoice. Give me 250 over invoice and we have deal. Thanks a lot bro.

dblock110

so did you buy it for 250 over invoice ?

amanuuh

oh yeah haha i forgot to add that. yup picked it up for 250 over invoice.

so far its a super fun car. I'm about to mod it for my brother and then he's gonna take it when he starts school at the end of September :/

have any of you done the amg driving school?

dblock110

how much off msrp

amanuuh

Around 4k plus 1k off of extended warranty. Plus my kbb value for a good condition 335i was around 335i 17500 and my car was in horrible condition a lot missing. They said 1700 on the trade in. Went to 17500. All in all my brother got an amazing deal tbh

Nice work! Where are you located? My local dealer was pretty easy to work with but A LOT of other dealers I spoke with were only willing to go down $500. I laughed at them and just bought local.

I'm im socal. We got 1.99 apr and all that. My family and my cousins family have bought 4 cars from there. Plus might get my w205 c63 from them. Great dealer to work with.

byugrad06

Cool, which dealership down there? I'm north of the Grape Vine and bought mine in Bakersfield. C63 sounds like fun. I'm going to try to hold out on my next on until I can get the CLS63 S.

Our families usually buy from Mercedes Benz in Anaheim or Fletcher Jones. I prefer Anaheim though. Smaller dealership. More willing to sell at discounted rate.

I did the beginners one day course at Road Atlanta back in 2010. It was a blast. The highlights included driving the SLS and the CLK63 BS.

have anyone had better discounts as the year comes to an end with the CLA/GLA 45?

Nachtsturm

You are lucky, best I can do so far is MSRP.

Not one dealer in my area has one unclaimed. If I could get 4k off, that would make the decision of this over the S3 much easier.

natman316

Also tryna decide between this and s3....i am leaning towards the S3 because of better transmission and AWD, and cheaper. But if this comes down to a similar price I'd seriously consider one because its cooler and I prefer Benz over Audi :p

Nachtsturm

I get special pricing on the S3, so it makes the price difference between the two about 10K.

So the advantages of the S3 for me are:
10K less
Will have an abundant aftermarket
Mod friendly (Tune only sub 4.0 0-60)
Magnetic Suspension

Is it crazy I'd still rather have the AMG?

CLA45 is still faster stock and with a tune much faster

Nachtsturm

It is, but not by much. The new S3 has seen high 12's stock, and the E888 engine really responds to mods well. The GTI with a smaller turbo gained 13MPH from just a tune in the 1/4. 97mph vs 110mph. Can only imagine what the S3 will do with it's larger turbo.

I expect the difference to not be as drastic, as I expect the S3 to have a more aggressive tune from the factory compared to the GTI.

The closest data is the MKVII golf R(Mechanically similar to the S3). It dyno'ed 268whp stock, after tune it put down 354whp.

Are there alot of discounts to be had with the S3? Or do you have connections with Audi dealers?

Nachtsturm

Not really, I get supplier pricing.
