2020 GLC43 typical discount on MSRP
Hello all,
I am from Canada and just about to order a GLC43.
Got a quote from one dealer and I am at just over 4% discount off the total cost msrp with all options and freight
Does this sound like a reasonable % off a special order?
Thanks

Yup. Very typical this early in the game. They didn't start selling this until Dec 2019.
GLE is even more brutal due to lack of stock. very little discounts.
If you are from GTA area, come to redflagdeal automotive forums. There are a few MB specialists/insider that can give you better idea on discounts.

So what should I expect as a good % off if I keep trying to get them bidding against each other?
Or tactic?
Thanks for your help

I'm from Montreal and I have two dealers wanting my business now and they are telling me the residual will keep going down if I wait longer to order.

if you are going to wait for it to be built and your build isn’t really odd, wait and buy off a lot. I did and 11% off.

I think the problem with ordering is they have little incentive to discount. They also say they don’t know what promos will be available when you purchase...

They can only guarantee a lock on the residual.
So far no discounts from manufacturer or dealer , just some incentives. this wont be easy I guess

GLC 43 Coupe
Hi
I just purchased one that is in production. Delivery in about 4 weeks. I ended up getting a 5 percent discount. In retrospect, I think I could have gotten a little more. Having said that, I’ve been considering this car for a year and had visited a few MB dealerships in the GTA. At no time did these dealerships have more than one or two on the lot, if any at all. Whether it’s by design, or not, the fact remains that the supply is limited and their appears to be strong demand. The inventory for the SUV 43 version, on the other hand, seems quite healthy and a deeper discounts may have been possible on these. But the SUV version looks like almost every other small SUV on the road. Not an option for me.

So basically I'm getting 6 % off total with some mats and painted calipers on top.
So just present the quote to a few more dealers?

Canadians do not seem to get as large percentage discounts as us 'Mericans get. I suspect that there is less profit baked into the Canadian MSRP as there is in the US MSRP.

Ah, ok. I'm in the States, so honestly not sure with the Canadian market. Still wouldn't hurt to send your price around to others and compare. At a minimum, you know you have 6% off with a couple extras. Good luck.

When I was shopping for my GLC63S I went to five different dealers in Montreal aria and the best I was able to get was a 4% discount for the car that just arrived in stock.
I also had free maintenance thrown in for the next 3 years plus a clear shield installed.

American usually get a lot more discount than Canadians.
Our GLC63 starts at $90K CAD
Your GLC63 starts at $73K USD or $98K CAD.
So right of the bat, MB make $5K USD more selling to Americans than Canadians at MSRP.
This higher the price of model is, the bigger this gap is.

Last time I played with the CAD configurator, you guys got a lot more standard features than the US cars too.

I ordered my GLC 43 at 5% off MSRP. Mercedes will give you this discount on an European delivery. I suggest wanting to do this. I asked the dealer to match that if I ordered one for delivery here in California. They agreed. You might use this knowledge to get such a deal.

I guess I'm going to go see a couple more dealers and present them with the quote I got and see if they can do better as I have no basis of what is the best % for a designed car.

I have seen dealers advertise an 'online quote' of existing inventory at about 7.5% off of MSRP. That is something that you should be able to get. I bought 2 Porsche Boxster at MSRP - 15%. The first one was a dealer sale. The second I offered sight unseen in September of 2016 and they took it. Porsche sports cars have a higher markup than Mercedes SUV's. If you order a car you will not get as good a deal as from dealer inventory. Dealers are sometimes allotted a certain number of cars and they will think they can sell them for more once on the lot. I have the dealer order sheet for 2020. There are 3 suggested packages for dealers to order. I believe they get a discount on these so they will actually have a higher markup. This explains why so many cars have similar options from dealer to dealer. I don't think as many GLC 43's will be available as some dealers might wish for. I would offer MSRP - 10% for dealer inventory and know you will get 7% off.
