They probably just got a new shipment in.. Some dealers have like 3-5 cars and of course they are not going to discount.. The dealers that have 25-40 are willing to pay ball.. My dealer probably has the most in the country over 70 right now.

 

The GLC will be a volume vehicle for MB, I have a feeling they will sell like hotcakes.

 

Over in the UK dealers were offering me 7-8% discount off the Recommended List Price.
However these were stock cars which were available immediately but not necessarily to your spec.
Our new GLC was a demo with only 2000 miles on the clock and fully loaded (registered 2 months ago) and we got 13% discount off the RLP. Well pleased

 

Just picked up the 2016 GLC in SoCal and shipped it up to NorCal. Best purchase experience ever. Got the car for below invoice price. It is selenite gray, base model. Got it for $41,800 out the door, which included tax and reg fees. Also threw in free shipping to the bay area and the selenite gray for free.

I took a quote from an LA dealership generated from edmunds ($38,800) and shopped it to SoCal and NorCal dealers. NorCal dealers told me to take that deal, they simply dont have inventory to match. I went to 2 dealerships in OC, one refused to match, but the other threw in selenite gray ($750) and free shipping to the bay area ($300). Signed the deal and my car arrived in front of my neighborhood a week later.

For all you NorCal buyers out there, look in SoCal. They have more inventory, so dont pay MSRP for this car!

 

I may have to do this as well. Not much inventory here in NorCal. Please share your experience with me. Thanks.

 

Vernon, Do you really drive a Yugo?

 

Can a Yugo really be driven?

 

Everyone,


I was screwed over by Mercedes of Wilsonville on an ordered GLC. Been waiting since February and now just found out they sold my car to someone else. They probably got another buyer willing to pay more for the car. Classic dealership BS. Can't believed I am seeing it from a Mercedes dealership. I am back in square one and with a baby due by end of July, I do not know if I an wait for another ordered car.


I remembered dealership in So Cal were doing 10% off MSRP. Is that still available?

 

I understand a bit of the story ... please understand 2016 GLC order banks are closed .. so if you need a GLC before end of July you need to ****** a 2016 that has been put on order for dealer inventory

 

The order banks are closed?! Oh great! I was going to do an order within the next couple weeks or month. Hope the 17 model year dosent have an off the wall build system like the c class. You can't get the lighting package or leather without all that drivers assistance stuff which I don't want.

 

When do the 2017s arrive at dealers?

 

dealer order guide is different for 2017 from 2016. There are 4 premium packages. Leather is separate. Some options are available as stand alone.

 

Any idea when it's the 17 order bank is going to open up?

 

June is what I heard

 

My dealer in Ontario, CA, was prepared to give me 10% off MSRP. Maybe he would have gotten me on something else like the extended warranty. In any case, I gave him a $1,000 deposit and ordered the car. But then I decided to hold off on my purchase until the GLC diesel model comes out. I'm letting him hold on to my deposit so he knows I'm serious.

 

With the current Federal uproar on the VW deal - you'd best make sure you keep a clear copy of that $1,000 receipt - it's going to be quite a wait and don't rely on the dealer/salesperson to keep track of your money !

 

Keep us updated. My timeline for 2017 GLC diesel (based on MB TENTATIVE RELEASE schedule of 2017 models) is end of September.

 

I shopped around a couple of dealers in the Los Angeles area. I also checked prices on Consumer Reports, and asked a friend who used to be a MB salesman to help me. Plus I found this forum and read this thread. :-)

My friend connected me to a current salesman who said he would sell me a GLC for invoice. That immediately made me think there must be big discounting on this car, if invoice was the opening offer.

Indeed if you check Consumer Reports, you'll see that many people are getting this car significantly below invoice.

I happened to be looking for something rather rare... My goal was upgraded stereo (Burmester), sunroof, and premium package (which basically means keyless entry, the other stuff is stocking filler) only. I didn't care about any other options and preferred not to pay for them. I wanted blue color but that was secondary.

At one dealer I found basically exactly what I wanted, but in red. Burmester, sunroof, premium, nothing else (except the heated seats and blind spot warning, which are on every GLC I've seen in stock). Red costs extra (above and beyond blue) but there was nothing I could do about that. It's better than paying $2300 for a $300 GPS device (that is to say I did find one in blue, but it also had Multimedia, 19 inch wheels, rear spoiler... stuff I don't care about).

The dealer's opening offer was $300 over invoice. I started at $1000 below that. I wound up coming up $300. Thus I got the car for about $400 below invoice.

I suspect if I had negotiated harder I could have gotten it for maybe $700 to $1000 less than I paid. But I had already put 3 or 4 days into shopping. I needed to bring that to a close. Also, when I was looking at the car, another couple looked at it just after me and the wife said "Oh, I like this one!" as she was opening the door. Who knows, maybe they were actors from the dealership! I had some worry that the couple might make an offer above mine, maybe even for sticker price -- they struck me as those kind of people. ;-)

So in order to get the deal done and save time, I was willing to pay a few hundred more than I probably could have if I had felt like walking away, negotiating for another hour etc etc.

Bottom line is in Southern California if you focus on a model that a lot of dealers have, you're a good negotiator, and patient, you should be able to get the GLC for $1000 or more below invoice. Pretty sweet deal!

 

What are everyones leases at? I think most dealers stock models around $43500 in MSRP.
Fees down, $450 with tax?

 

MSRP $51555, got it for $45000+free 3-year MB maintenance.

 

Dang, I'm gettin' jealous. I'm about ready to either buy or order (yeah I know it'll be 17 if I order) and I checked a couple of dealers in Mich. So far they've been pretty tight... "we don't have that many and they move fast." I'm in no hurry- other than my own impatience, so I'll see how this plays out. Here's hoping for a good deal and congrats to those that have sprung those good ones.

 

Forget MI dealers. One family and is not best service. Do not ask me how do I know...

 

Hi there,
I am seriously thinking to buy the 2016 GLC 4 matic and would like to know what your car is equipped and where do you buy your car? If your dealer is in Michigan, then I am in luck. Highly appreciate your response and help. Have a great day.

I am from New York and is considering getting a GLC300. I went to a dealer in Brooklyn and was only offered -1000 from MSRP. This post is extremely helpful. Since I am in no rush, I will hit up more dealers in the area and shoot for something in 8-10% range + floor mats and etc. For Euro Delivery, do I have to be physically present in Germany to pick up the car? And it would be greatly appreciated if someone can share their dealer info in the tri state area.

 

I bought it from a Los Angeles, CA dealer. It has metallic paint, driver assistance package, parktronic, heads up, heated seats, premium package and tech package .... pretty much what I wanted. Even within California I have seen big differences in discounts so I suggest to shop around a bit!
