Employee discount
Does anyone know what the employee discount is for (a) MBUSA employees, (b) MB dealership employees as it pertains to a new vehicle purchase?

Don't think that they could be the case or the dealers would all be trying to order cars from MBUSA employees:p

At our dealership and on Star the Mercedes-Benz Product Program, the employee purchase only goes for C230K at $289.39 a month, C240W Sedan for $430.80 a month and ML350 for 501.00 a Month. Newly assed is the ML500. The price for that has not been announced. That is not to say that they will not work with you when you want to buy another model. I can vouch for that one. Hope that helps.

Mr. Xristo:
Not so weird. I have many friends and family back home who work for DC or GM. With the better employee discounts, they drive new cars all the time with only expenses for gas and insurance.

When I was in high school I had a part-time job working for Southeast Toyota (the distributor for Toyota in the southeastern US states). The branch mgr and asst. branch mgr of the office I worked in got brand new cars every 3 months (they got to choose what they wanted) and would turn the car back to the company before 3 months or 1K miles (or something like that)so it could be sold as a new demo car. Their only liability was that it would be like additional compensation income for them, so they would have to pay the appropriate extra income taxes, so believe it or not sometimes they would elect tercels or corolla's to drive since they would show as lower compenstation on their income taxes.

Re: Employee discount
Got two friends working for Mitsubishi North America:
* One is an acountant: get a free car every year. Currently, he's driving a Montero, fully loaded.
* The other is a senior engineer: 3 free cars, one for him, change yearly. The other two car, for his family (one for his wife, other for weekend...) are changed every two years.
The only thing they have to pay is insurance. Maintenace is covered by company.

I have a coworker that has a brother that works for MBUSA. They get a 20%-24% discount for themselves or immediate family members. Sticky is they have to keep the car for a certain period. This is not ffor dealership people but MBUSA corporate people. I know dealerships people get great lease deals.
