Anyone done fleet pricing?
So I just found out that one of the employee perks of my new job (started about 3 weeks ago) is getting fleet pricing on Mercedes. The info provided is a bit vague, discounts will varry blah blah blah. But was curious if anyone else on here has ever gotten one using a fleet purchase program. And if so what sorta rough discount did it get, any advantages/drawbacks. I won't be using it for a while (been here 3 weeks bought my E about 4-5 weeks ago) but for next year or so if I decide to move to a newer model.....

Looking at the chart, it shows $2500 for all 2013 E class.
So what kind of $2500 is this? It must be (I assume) negotiate
your best price and then MB takes $2500 off that price.
Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks
Plus, you cannot combine with many other programs such as "other fleet programs" which I believe is
how they categorize the USAA Program.
It also lists the Conquest Program as one you cannot combine with.
So, Fleet sounds good IF you have no access/eligibility to these other programs.
xolinlevh, it will be interesting to see who has used this program and their experience.

fleet info
yea im curious what kinda combos people have gotten. $2500 for an E to start, but can you also combine the $1000 MBCA discount, theres a $1000 credit for having the Mercedes/Amex card, any loyalty discounts from your dealer? I've never looked at the costco auto thing, but i have heard it talked about, so maybe that? If you get a S thats 4k off, plus the MBCA/Amex, 6k off on top of whatever deal you negotiate? seems rather good to me

From MB, fleet fine print. The devil's in the details:

C250 Sedan
Does anyone know what the residuals on a E350 BlueTec are? Is it true that you need MSD to get the lease offer?
If I can grab a BlueTec for the same $9K discount on a E350 Sedan, you can have a low $400 payment with $0 drive offs.

2012 E350 Sedan
I just purchased a 2012 E350 sedan with sport package through AAA. The dealer combined the AAA discount with the current promotions and I got $9100 off of MSRP. I leased the car for two years to get the highest residual and pay $369/month including tax with $7000 out of pocket. Interest on the lease was 4%. MSRP was around $57650.

2012 W212 E350 Bluetec
See my recent thread for more details on residuals, mf and fleet incentives. msd's aren't required to lease afaik but they are the best way to reduce your mf which greatly impacts your lease.
More like a $44K C250 vs a $56K E350.
Does anyone know what the residuals on a E350 BlueTec are? Is it true that you need MSD to get the lease offer?
