2013 $$ incentives?
Hi,
I went to my dealer (finance mgr) where I have a 2013 E on order to ask about current incentives/rebates etc.
To begin with, I don't trust her knowledge as she's 0/2 before today. Last question was on MB extended warranty, what happens if e.g. you trade in car in at 3 years--is the refund prorated where they'd keep like 3/7 of cash value on 7 year plan. She said prorated/they'd keep 3/7. I asked her to double check as I thought you got whole 100% value back before 4 yrs/50K and I was right.
1. Today she said I would qualify for MB Loyalty because I traded in a MB vehicle. I thought Loyalty incentive was only if have have current lease with MB or current MB financing in place/you are still making payments to MB.
Would a MB trade-in qualify/ no financing on trade vehicle for Loyalty??
2. What incentives can you stack/ use together?
--USAA
--Loyalty
--Conquest
--MB Manufacturers Appreciation bonus ($500 for attending show/ open house,etc). I think you can use /stack with any other incentive, true?? Can you use two of these from two different events, together?
--MB Club membership. I didn't join within a year so I cannot.
Thanks for info.
They seem to keep some of these a closely guarded secret LOL

What I was told yesterday
I was told the loyalty is when you have a loan or lease through MB and when you take another loan or lease. If you don't then you would not get. With number 2 most of those only let you use one not all of them. If it was me I would ask to speak to sales manager.

HI Minnbobber,
If you are USAA eligible it it usually the best, but not always.
You can combine USAA with loyalty and MB Club for sure (did on our E). You cannot combine Conquest and USAA. The Appreciation bonus I believe is like a CAP certificate and can't be combined either.
They do like to keep these close to the vest for sure. The dealer will end up losing if they sign with you and they have to eat the money you were not supposed to get, so most are reluctant to combine incentives.

Dcubed or anyone else, is there fine print or disclaimer on the conquest cash stating that you cannot combine? Reason for asking is I have AMEX MB plat card $1K cert and I want to be able to use both to work a deal very soon.

It makes them more competitive both with other dealers and other brands. It is not their money and actually allows them to possibly make more money on the unit. Any dealership employee in a position to quote prices who does not know the proper incentives is just too lazy to do their homework.

I joined some MB club on the internet the other day after surfing the MBUSA website. No mention about no annual fee. Perhaps 2 different clubs...? 
Tried to find the a price, lease or incentive for the 2013 GLK Diesel, but they keep it a big secret and won't tell..

After you are a member of the MBCA for one year a Member in Good Standing seal will appear when you log in to their website. You can then print a certificate when you are ready to buy a car.
Their website forums are poorly subscribed to. The magazine 6 times a year is very good with high quality printing. They have local sections and sponsor a number of events.
