For the e class (and I'd guess most other models), yes. They started taking orders for 2013s in April/May since they will be released this month.

Too late by long shot but dealers have a lot of inventory of 2012's with model year end rebates. If you keep your car a long time, this is a good opportunity to buy at the right price. However, if you only keep your cars only two to three years, there is better value on in buying a 2013 model due to increased resale value.

Good point on the 2012 vs. 2013 pros/cons.

I too am contemplating same thing. I want to close a deal this month on a 2012 (with the color/ options I want) at the right price (includes conquest cash/any other rebate) or compare it to 2013 and see the diff in price/ aggressiveness of dealer to move inventory.

Does anyone know of historically what the residual is when a new Model Year is introduced?

Thanks
