So Im most likely in the market for a 2007 model...just the type to let them work out any small or big first year bugs...plus im letting the warranty run out on my m3 first..

My question is when the demand dies down for a new model what types of discounts can one expect with mercedes? And has anyone had luck in getting the amg body kit w/o the wheels? like having a dealer swap the wheels to someone else or another car? if so, how would pricing on that work?

 

I don't think you need to wait for another year since CLS shares almost all the same thing except the body parts with W211 E (03 to 05) already. I have no problem with my ex-E and current CLS so far. I enjoyed every time when I drive mine.

Cheers,

Impossible to predict the future market. FWIW, I bought a nicely equipped 2004 E500 last October off the local dealer lot for his invoice cost.

It all depends....

 

MB dealers here are promoting the last batches of W220/W163, a lot luxury options are now standard,for example I see Nappa is standard plus a good discount.

We customers and the dealer are doing the opposite thinking
Best time to buy one vs Anytime to sell one.
Who's smarter ?
