Dealer is offering 5% discount on a 2015 GL350. Vehicle was a demonstrator and has 7,000 miles on her. In a few weeks this will be a year old and is a used car. I have read on other forums to stay away from demo's. Wonder why?

GL550 Closing tomorrow
Hello, new member here and picking up my new GL550 tomorrow. This deal is a good measure of discount as there is no trade and no financing. Just cash for car. Against MSRP I got 8.8% which I thought was a very fair deal. Oh there were no miles on it either. Hope this helps someone

GL 350
Some do discount
Shop around, get two dealers going against each other. Visit a couple of dealers so you have a connection with a salesrep.
Wait until the very last day of the MB promotional period so they have an incentive to move one more unit. Drop both dealers an email around 5pm that last day and say what can you do for me if I buy today. Use one against the other.
I would target 10% off MSRP as a really good deal although I have seen people get as much as 12%.
Of course it depends on where you are and how badly they want to sell one more car.
Best of luck

Precisely. When you have to order or do a dealer trade to get the diesel and the options you want, they will not discount. One of my area dealers even wanted 2-3% over msrp!

How do you know they have it ? Probably searching dealer's inventory on edmunds.com or similar website. But when somebody ordered a car and it is on a lot - it will be in inventory list, but not available.

This is from looking at the dealer's individual websites which I go on to get the stock number and send an email to have the vehicle out if i want to go see it. I get most of my service done at MB of Westwood which is the one showing that they have 5. I haven't been by there in a while so can't say if as you mentioned, some that are shown is actually a customer's ordered vehicle. The 2nd dealer showing 11 GL350's and the GL63's is in Somerville and I was by there 2 weeks ago. I can vouch that the 2 white 350's and at least 1 of the black 63's are available.

A gaggle of MB's
Back to the original OP - the "question" is whether this particular GL350 gets sold under a "new car program" - or gets sold under the MB Certified pre-Owned Program (CPO).
In addition to net price - whether in your state the "demo" shows as a 1st owner - meaning you are 2nd registered owner has some meaning.
The other thing that has meaning is the specific's of warranty coverage - since as CPO that would kick in Unlimited Mileage Certified Warranty for 5yrs from original in-service date in the Mercedes VMI - in CPO that means in addition to balance of 50K mile new car warranty from original service date - when that new car warranty expires (whether by miles or time whichever comes 1st) - CPO kicks in that will expire ONLY based on 5yrs from original in-service date - and if planning long term hold - CPO warranty can be extended now or later more affordably than extending new car warranty.
On a new 2016 GL350 - yes you can shoot for 5% discount on a in-stock rig - which would have 50K/4yr Mercedes new car warranty - when shopping a specific rig out-of-area - a LOT of hassle can be solved if you commit to MBFS financing or lease up front - cash/cash buyer's kick-in Mercedes oversight on the anti-export stuff out-of-market.
Keep the beat !
