Arrow CLS550 4matic Discounts off MSRP....

Hey guys if you don't mind me asking, what kind of discounts off MSRP you guys have been getting/seeing?

...I'm in the market for one similar to most CLS550 4matics, optioned to about $83k and have been offered $7k off by one and $10.5k off by another...not sure if I can expect more or not

I secured 12.7% discount. But then again, I got the Launch Edition and no one in the area wanted a white leather interior.

Only MBs - the best or nothing
$10.5K off on a $83K low production car that's been on the market for only 6 months or so? There's nothing to think about it - buy it today. My dealer has none in stock - as soon as one shows up, it sell for MSRP (or very close to) almost immediately.

dbtk - damn you got a sweet deal on a special CLS!


threeMBs - you're right, just debating if I should "search" for a 4matic Launch Edition which I really like the interior/exterior color and wheels of, not sure the regular CLS with wheel plus one pkg does it for me fully

blazinginder - thanks, like I said the dealership was hard pressed to find anyone here in Connecticut willing to buy a porcelain interior. I leased it for 2 years and was not too concerned over the long-term wear (stains, etc.) of the white premium leather. The dealer had the car for three months with no takers. They were happy to get rid of it. I like it--looks and feels upscale.

dbtk - I actually did a search on autotrader...there's a good handfull (so far) of the LE 4matics that I've found available NEW...am aiming for a similar discount to what you were able to get, but if I can get $15k off MSRP (17% is a stretch) that'd be amazing

You never know. There's always a dealer out there trying to make monthly sales numbers. For reference, including pre-paid service I got $11,300 off without much negotiating. So, $13K-15K off if not that far off especially since the LEs are not getting fresher.

I just spoke with my MB guy here on the East coast. He has access to a LE 4Matic if you are interested. May not get 15% but you can try. Let me know and I will PM his contact to you.

Better off calling. He tends to do better via phone. Good luck.
