Question GLE 450 Coupe Order
Going to order a new 2025 GLE 450 Coupe.

Welcome any thoughts on this tactic:

Ordering the same build through 2 different local dealers?

Looking forward to perspectives...

Why would you order the same car from two different dealers?

Hmmm......
For me, I gave the dealership my 2025 build and negotiated the price. Once a price has been reached, then I put down the deposit.

Also, don't some dealers make the deposit non-refundable once the car enters production phase and you can only get it back if a feature or option wasn't included based on your build order agreement?

That's good. Hopefully you get the price that you're hoping for. Maybe they are hoping the recent interest rate cut will boost sales and prices.

You better have that in writing. Because once they find out that you're playing the two against each other like this, you're not getting that deposit back..
