2025 AMG GLC43 Coupe Anyone?
Test drove at a few dealerships over the past weeks and thinking of going forward with buying a 2025 GLC43W4 for the wife.
Going for Alpine Grey, 21in Y-spoke, Night Package, Black Leather, Metal Weave, Ventilated Seats, DAP, Burmeister.
MSRP $81,430 excluding destination. All in with tax would be $90,164. I need to be at $80K or less all in so ~11% off MSRP.
Looking to finance it, is it realistic to expect any sort of MSRP discounts on this? Dealerships I visited offered nothing.
Was wondering also if it made sense to work with a broker on leasehckr to try and get me to the pricing that I need.
P.S. They are also saying that 2026 is coming up soon, they don't have DOGs for those yet.
Thanks!

24 amg 43 coupe
I have a fully loaded 24 43 coupe, similar price, 92k. there was only 500 amex discount. I bought special order because I wanted matte paint and sport seats and am overly picky about cars so this is probably why no discount. I tried but they kept saying no. the car is great but it is by far the hardest car learning curve I have ever experienced due in large part to the transmission clutchpack and hybrid interaction. If you can get past this issue it is a very very good car. of course thats purely subjective and yes it's firm and yes its sporty for a mercedes. this car has the most "personality" of any car I have owned and I am enjoying it.

I will keep trying with the dealerships but may have to rethink the car or the budget (I already suspect which one will win) if I can't get it discounted...

Seeing quite a few 2024s and I am wondering how different they are vs the 2025s?
AFAIK according to the DOG I found posted here, the only change that concerns me is the MBUX 3 upgrade.
Saw a few 2024 review online and can't tell the difference visually. Maybe the screen border is thicker on the 2024.

no car wash mode if you use that for example.

Great info thanks! Good point on Digital Key although from what I read around the forums, it doesn't seem to actually be enabled for US vehicles due to some regulatory excuse.
So all in all subtle differences. Perhaps '25 has new hardware so it might be running a bit faster but can't confirm for sure, only see some hints of that online.

Caved in and got a 2025 GLC43 Coupe on order. ETA in May.
Question on the headlights: what are the standard headlights like, do they look like the old-school reflector or are they projector headlights?

Yes thanks. The "eyebrow" light as I call is it different too, the Active LED headlight has this new 2nd row of two small lights underneath.
Anyways, I wish they'd offer the light upgrade as a standalone option really not looking to add the Pinnacle Trim just for the lights...

I just purchased mine a few weeks ago, and the sticker was 82,070. The dealer, in Massachusetts, reduced it to 76,500. They didn't have the car yet, so it wasn't to move stock.
