I got 12% off msrp with little work. I’m sure I could have gotten a better deal if I had worked a little harder, but we found the one my wife wanted, and we just wanted to move on it, as inventory is somewhat low.

I got 6% on an MSRP of $85,000. It was basically the taxes in my state.

2020 that was on the lot but from a different dealership out of state (Baltimore vs Virginia suburbs). They brought it in via flatbed from that dealership to mine. Different owners of the dealerships as well.

Fyi - I sent emails to every dealership in the area, and told all of them I was doing it. That gets them to make their near best offer pretty quick. I live in the Bay Area though, so MB dealerships are like Starbucks. 😬

580 allocations are probably like1:10 vs the 450, so I'm not surprised they're not as willing to deal.

I got 6% off MSRP of a custom ordered 2021 GLS580 at Autobahn in Belmont, CA, not including factory incentives like my USAA discount. The other dealers I spoke with would not negotiate and wanted MRSP for a 2021 GLS580.
I was offered $10k off MSRP for on-lot GLS450 at multiple dealers in the Bay Area, without asking or negotiating.

IF it makes you feel better, G-Wagons are seling for $50k over MSRP...

From personal experience shopping in Sept/Oct in So Cal, this is not a good time for scoring deals due to limited inventory. Most dealers in my area weren't willing to offer more than 5-6% off MSRP on GLS450s off their lots and the best I could do was 10% off (compared with my 2017 GLS which I got for 13% off). It might be better to wait if you can as inventory should get better early next year and 2021 model already has around $3K worth of 20-model options as standard.

I think they are going out of, or may already be out of, the “car buying service” aspect of it. I used a $500 USAA manufacturer incentive in August on my GLE 580.

Nice, what dealer and rep was it? I've called two of my local Chicago dealers and max is 3% off so far.

Interesting! I always guessed that invoice was around 13% off. So my 8% off was way (~$4,500) below invoice.

Was just offered only 3% off MSRP for a BTO 450 with sticker of 91K, possible to still negotiate further when the car is delivered?
