2021 GLS580 all black. 2014 GLK black (kids car). formerly: 2014 GL550 Palladium Silver (US)
USAA MY14 prices online

The updated info is online
I noticed (looking at GL550):
Their base price ($89,000) is $400 higher than mbusa but the USAA price is 88,300.
They show a 'chestnut' brown but same number as Auburn (254)
Discount is currently $2,000 (it's been 3k for MY13). With my options, discount was almost $2,500 although considering the true MSRP, its more like $2k.
The 2K discount is reduced by a $700 'regional' fee. I don't know if that's my region or every.

I think it has been reduced for all fleet discounts. AMA discount is listed as $2,000 also for MY14 vehicles

Where did you see the 2014 AMA Gl discount? When I go to their website, it only shows $3k off for 2013, but nothing is listed for 14

Do dealerships let you combine fleet deals when purchasing a new car? For example, $2k off for both usaa and AMA for a total of $4k off?

AMA discount has been reduced to $ 2000 for 2014 models, and cannot combine other discounts(ie. MBC-NA,etc)

Can you apply the AMA discount to your "best negotiated deal" from the dealer? Or is it MSRP - AMA discount OR your best deal? Pick the better deal?

I recently ordered a 2014 GL 350. The AMA fleet discount is in addition to your best negotiated price from MSRP. In my case, I negotiated $ 2500 off the MSRP of $ 74,500. My overall combined discount became over 5% discount from MSRP. However, my membership in the MBCNA no longer adds an additional discount.

Same here. Got $3k discount and $2k AMA discount for total of $5k with my order. I want to see if I can get better when the car comes in.

negotiating novice ... help!

My GL will arrive in 10 days (ordered).

I also have the USAA discount, but I am unsure how to get the dealer to give me an additional $2-4K off.

Any advice?

You have to be slippery! More slippery than they are, and they can be very slippery!

I got my 2014 at 2013 price because they screwed up my 2013 order, so that was about a $1,250 saving. Then I got the $2,000 USAA incentive. I think I got some additional discounts on the options, perhaps in the $700-$800 range, but the way they add their numbers it is buried so not completely sure about that. Total discount of almost $4k on a $76k MSRP.

So, is the AMA discount really a "rebate" that goes back to the dealers? If I negotiate my best price first, and then tack on the AMA discount, it seems like it must really be a dealer rebate, not an actual discount, right?

It is a separate rebate the dealer gets back from MB, so yes try and combine it with your best price.

AMA = American Medical Association, offers members a fleet discount on top of best negotiated price. The discount varies for different models. For 2013 GL is $3K off for 2014 GL its $2K off.
