I am planning on placing a custom order for the EQE350V4 with total MSRP of $87,200 (per the DOG): Exclusive Trim with Digital Light Package, HUD, Rear-axle steering, Acoustic Comfort Package, etc. I haven't talked to any dealer about it.

On the other hand, I saw one unit with a Pinnacle Trim (in transit) going to Miami (a bit too much car for me). I requested for a quote and after a short wait, I received a reply offering a 2% discount. But, sales rep found out later the car is already reserved.

Has anybody gotten any better deal on the EQE recently?

Honestly, I'm almost starting to doubt that the EQE actually exists. Obviously, I've seen examples in videos all around the country, but availability is pretty frustrating. My dealership in Louisville, KY has one example in VPC, but it's been there for almost 2 months. What are they waiting for? As for build slots, there were two for early this year, I think, but they were locked out ages ago, and absolutely nothing on the horizon in terms of new slots. Maybe MBUSA thinks that KY is not worth the trouble? The dealer is swimming in EQS examples, yet MBUSA website can't even launch a configurator for EQE, much less list inventory. Meanwhile, the only VINs on the horizon are dreadfully overpriced for EQE350V4s. I have had great hopes for this car, but availability and slots are disappointing at best. Hope this changes soon, and hope MB changes its mind on the dreadful subscription model for enabling full motor functionality. Hoping for a better start to 2023 for the EQE!

My dealer (1 of 6 local dealers) shows 4 EQEs available. Two have photos in front of the dealership and 2 others must be inroute w/o local photos.

Yeah, the ones in the queue for MB of Louisville are also shown in their inventory list, and there is an EQE apparently live a few hours away, but all of them are priced at near-EQS levels, which is simply nuts. I was just hoping that the ordering situation would've calmed down from last year. Here's hoping it'll improve.
