Question how much off sticker if you use "green sheet" discount?

a friend said he could get me the green sheet price due to an affilation with Dam-Chrys. Any idea what a $53,000 E series would be discounted to?

What's a "green sheet discount?" In SoCal, you can easily get an E320 for $1000-2000 under invoice.

Maybe "green sheet" means cash?

do you mean a 1-2000 under sticker? If so, that's not a deal.

work the numbers using invoice pricing from the web for the car with options you want. there is a so cal dealer on this board, Marcus Benz is his screen name, ask him what his prices are.

Sent marcus 2 e-mails looking for pricing on an E55, never got a response. Bought a car a week after trying to get a price from him.

If so, we didn't get any special discounts for paying cash. Just the same $1000 under INVOICE, yes, INVOICE that everyone else was getting. Didn't know about Marcus Benz back then. Just walked in to the dealership and that's the price that was quickly negotiated to. It was from the same dealership that Marcus Bez works for (House of Imports) but apparently other dealers will eventually offer the same deal, just not as readily as HOI it seems.

yes, under invoice. So, theoretically the dealer should be losing money. There are other factors obviously so the dealer really isn't losing money, even by selling the car under invoice.

Apparently the dealers around here ship. If your local dealers can't/won't come close to that price, you may have to give one of the SoCal dealers a call and see how much it will cost you to have one shipped out to you. Or ask MarcusBenz. I remember seeing a price of $2000 under invoice at one time for non-Sport E320's. I priced out a non-Sport E320 last nite on carsdirect.com and it came out to $1500 under invoice so $2000 under is probably still available. Try it yourself. Pick a SoCal zip code. Mine is 90703.
