I am going to purchase the MY 2012 W212. Does anyone have a suggestion on a dealer in South Florida (Palm Beach, Broward, Dade) who will offer a good deal?

Talk to multiple dealers and see where they are. On any given month, one may be more willing to deal than another.

I found better deals in NAples. Worth the drive. Shop it around in s fl then call Naples with your best deal. See if they'll beat it. As you know most of the dealers here are autonation so they all know what your shopping for and the prices they give you.

Thanks Mafialink. Do you know the name of anyone at the Naples dealership that is good to deal with?

mafialink

I do. His name was Joe. Hell of a nice guy. Doesn't put any pressure on you. Will do a deal when your ready.

I actually didn't buy from him but thought he was very professional.

My advice is to do your shopping first and get your best offer. Take it to him and if if your serious, tell him to beat it and take the car home that day.

Let me know how you make out. Good luck

What discounts do you guys normally get? Here in the Midwest dealers give you at most 6 to 7%, up to the same as what you get in the European Delivery Program, only without going to Germany. So the dealing gets pretty quick and painless. You just tell them, give me 7% off or I'd fly to Germany instead, ant then they get pretty close, give or take the cost of the airfare. In other words, you get the car close to the invoice price, except for AMG models that go for the sticker price with no discount. So when you say "good deal", what % off do you have in mind?

Several years ago, I bought a BMW and a dealer quoted me $750 above invoice. Here in South Florida, 5 MB dealerships are owned by the same company, autonation. Their is one local MB dealer independently owned. I do not know how much room I have to haggle. I would consider $750 over invoice a good price.
