Buying Experience?
Hi all,
New to this forum, but not new to the brand. After a few years working out of school and hard work, I want to reward myself with something and I've the decided that the AMG GTS would be it. I was wondering if there's any difference in the purchasing experience between the AMG GTS and any other Benz? Is there anything that I should look out for/issues that anyone has experienced?
Thanks in advance!

Where I live, there are a couple of older established dealerships that really are not interested in stepping up on a discount. One of the older dealers had four new GPS is in stock and one used. He knew very well that I knew what the numbers were. He called me back the following day saying "we don't normally do this on new cars but we will be willing to give you $1000 off of a 2017" really?!
With that being said, three months later he still has those four new GTS. I decided to go with a newer dealer in the area as they were motivated by developing new customers and trying to get as much allocation as they could as inventory is based on sales. And as a bonus, I had a lot of fun with the negotiation and was very very satisfied at the final price and the people I was working with. So to me that was what was important not just the price but the fact that the dealer Genuinely wanted a relationship.

I bought my Edition 1 about a month after they were released. There was no negotiating and I didn't even drive it before I bought it. I think there's a lot more room for negotiating these days. But I will warn you, if you test drive one, you WILL buy one. Good luck with you purchase!

It was like buying any other car for me.
Test drove it for 15 minutes. Negotiated back and forth for 30 minutes.
