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.

$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

dbtk

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.

blazinginder

Oh cool, yea definitely would want to get his info and see what pricing he's offering

dbtk

blazinginder, were you able to converse with my contact? Hope things are working out.

blazinginder

Didnt have a chance to call him but did email him that same day, havent heard anything back just yet

dbtk

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