Am I getting a good deal/ price?
Just double-checking here - the MSRP for my build is $78,560, the selling price is $72,660. Is it a good selling price for a given MSRP? Attached is the actual build, in case anybody is curious.

Agree with Greg that 8% is a good deal and would also offer (suggest) that you consider upgrading the wheels to one of the 20" or 21" options:

For what it is worth, I got 9% off MSRP on my order. My neighbor went to the same dealer and they wanted to give him less. He said that he needed 9% or he was walking. They gave him 9%. I ordered mine on February 26. I must admit that I was very surprised since anytime I ever tried to buy a new model that was just coming out, dealers would never negotiate with me. In this instance the MB dealer knew that I already had offers in hand from Audi, BMW, and Volvo. Maybe that helped. I can't be sure.

The deals on the GLE450 is significantly better than the GLE350 basically due to demand. Dealers are not having the same demand and stock issue on the GLE450. Either way 9% or even 8% is a great deal and not something you are going to find on the GLE350, not even close.

Just thought I’d share my experience...
I’ve been watching this forum for quite sometime (around February)
I finally placed my order and officially a 2020 GLE 450 owner soon so I figured this was a good time to join.
My build MSRP is $78,310 got $4,000 off so slightly above 5% discount
Got it from a dealership 110mi away as the three dealerships in my hometown weren’t willing to budge. The one 3 miles away from me offered to “gladly match my offer” but I decided to give my business to the SA from out of town for willing to do whatever it takes to earn my business and it was a pleasure working with him.
