2025 GLE 350 Discount off MSRP
I am in the market for a 2025 GLE 350 and would like to place a custom order. How much discount do dealers typically give in the current market? I appreciate any help you can provide.

Generally speaking, this is up to you. Unless you're an employee or retired from a company, or belong to an organization that has special arrangements with the manufacturer, negotiating is part of the vehicle buying process.
Examples of the special arrangements: USAA had a deal where a member would pay a small amount above dealer invoice. Unfortunately, they no longer do that. People who are employed by or retired from some large companies get discounts on purchases from some manufacturers. If you're a military veteran you may be eligible for a deal.
If you're negotiating without some special arrangement, you're on your own, and you'll be negotiating the price of the new vehicle as well as the price of the trade. All I can offer there is that compromise is necessary. Be prepared to walk out the door if they won't meet your expectations. I drove 5 hours to buy mine from a dealer in a larger city because the closer dealer (an hour away) wasn't giving me the price I wanted for the new vehicle or for my trade. The second dealer pretty much bent over backward to make the sale.
