I am so glad that I found this forum. Originally I was shopping for a GLA so being a luker at GLAOwner site. Didn't know there is so much valuable information here .

Ironman,

I am also shopping in the DMV area.

As a matter of fact I have an appointment to visit a dealership tonight in Bethesda to talk about possibly transfer a vehicle in their 'other' locations ( I am guessing from Devon PA).

I would like to send you PM asking more details regarding your experience. Thanks in advance!

I am finishing up a deal on an ordered GLC for 11.25% off MSRP. I will share more info once the deal is finalized.

I recently purchased in the Philadelphia area and got 9.5% off MSRP.

I ended up going with euromotors in bethesda. If you don't mind me asking, how much was the MSRP which you got 10% off?

Also, what does everyone think about trying to renegotiate once my custom build has arrived. Do I even have much bargaining power since I already paid $1,000 deposit, could I walk away and they have to refund the 1K?

I'm pretty sure your deposit is refundable. Here in the PNW, they can't keep the GLCs in stock. They don't even have one to drive. So you're probably in good shape. As for renegotiation, my GLC is on the water and I just received an email from Consumer Reports about using their True Car Estimate to buy a car at a participating dealer. Turns out the dealer was the one I ordered from and the True Car Estimate (~ 5% discount) was $1000 better than I negotiated. It seems that a lot of forum participants are doing quite a bit better than that. Probably depends on supply/demand balance in your region. My salesman said no problem although I'm not sure how happy he was. So go for the renegotiation. MB wants compact SUV/Crossover market share and they're obviously willing to buy it.

Can you PM me the contacts of the dealer in California that are offering these discounts. I have been trying to order Cardinal Red, with Beige, Premium, Multimedia, Lighting Pkg since December. Most of the dealers I have emailed do not even contact me. My local dealer ordered me one in January with no deposit but it won't be built till end of April and we aren't close to the discounts you guys are talking about. I have had contact with a very large Southern Calif. dealer who is giving me the runaround and I stopped all correspondence with him this last weekend

I took one in stock last Saturday.

We drove all the way to Baltimore from DC suburban as they had 2 with spec that we like to compare. We got it a bit over 10% including a penfed $1000 certificate.

I know we could have done better if I insisted but it was late Saturday night and we have a 3 years old with us plus 2 other kids in our friend's home...

Very happy with the car, the ride is so smooth compared to my previous car - a mini cooper S.

Some pretty good deals going on here!

Can anyone speak for NYC/CT/NJ? What % off have you secured?

stevefinlay

Thanks for the info. I live in Nashville and doubt my dealer will offer 10% plus discount. Would you pls IM me your dealer so I can order one from Atlanta?

Thanks,

Any one recently in bay area got some x% off on GLC? Pretty interested to buy a GLC in this month but not sure how people in Bay area (North California) got on the discount.

If you have any recent discount number on any dealer in California, I'd glad to know. Thank you so much :P

I am in Fremont 94539. I have reached out (or even personally visited) to Fremont Auto Mall, San Jose, Pleasanton, Oakland, and San Mateo. The best offer I could ask was like 4% off from MSRP.

But, in South CA like Los Angeles metro area, you can easily get 9~10%. If you think that's big/worth enough, go down there to get your GLC. Save you thousands of dollars with only 5~6 hours drive.

See previous pages in this topic.

Hi, thank you so much for the information. I think that's close to what I have heard. I may test drive this week this week and reach out the salesman in LA. (I'm OK to be there).

One more question, I have never done such remote negotiation before, is there anything I need to pay attention to on the process?

lin8810

I am PM you now

kfm999

I have tried Manhattan, Silver Star, Bayside and none is willing to give 10% off.

kfm999

kfm999

I just purchased GLC with MSRP of $52,135. Dealer only discounted car by $3062 (5.9%), and salesperson kept telling me that she's never seen sales manager discount a GLC by this much (yeah, right!). I did get them to throw in all-weather car mats. I live in suburban Philadelphia area.

I was at MB in Bellevue (WA) last night. They had one demo. They can't keep them on the lot. Same at MB Seattle. In fact MB Seattle doen't even have a demo. I know they'll honor the CR True Car Estimate, which is about 5% off, but the CA , OR, and WA markets are seeing heavy demand and so not much negotiating room.

Los Angeles area. Picked it up last Friday did the deal a week before that. They had the car on a truck shipping to the dealer.
MSRP 44,195
Walked out paying 44,001 (including tax, license ...) and will get $600 back from Mercedes financial for prior lease return. The dealer knew about the $600 back. So total $43,401

Free all weather floor mats you say? No need this is so cal.

For those into percentages that's 9.67% discount from MSRP + $600 from Mercedes financial. Entire negotiation was 1st visit for the wife to test drive the car (wife's primary car) and 2nd visit to tell them at what price I want it at.
