If I could get ours for that much under invoice, I'd seriously consider traveling to go get it (or have it delivered to us).
Thanks!

I'm getting the same story from dealers as ams_sim... I decided to just suck it up since I am not financing a large amount and it seems pretty tough to find a vehicle with most of the options I want... where are you located ams_sim? I'm in the NY tri-state area...

There is a minimum amount but I do not know what that figure is. I told my salesperson I was going to finance $20k and he said that would be enough to meet the min. As far as prepayment, I asked and he said there is no prepayment penalty after you make 3 payments.

I was quoted a price of $53,550 from an area dealer, do you think that is a good deal considering this would have to be ordered? I had dealers quoting me prices of $300 below invoice for in stock vehicles...
Also, I had another dealer tell me that they can't quote me a price since it has to be ordered because the price may change 3 months later when the vehicle is delivered due to differing market conditions and that any quote I get from other dealers will not stick and will surely change when the vehicle is delivered (I thought it was a load of bull). Does that make sense to anyone? Who would order a vehicle if they did not know for sure how much they would be paying??? For anybody here that has ordered a vehicle, how long did it take? I'm getting answers ranging from 2 months to 3-4 months.
Thanks.

I read that MB is giving $2000 back to the dealers if the buyer uses MB financing, so ppl are getting ~3k+ under invoice. It's only valid for December, so might want to investigate this further.

hope everyone is having a safe and happy holidays . I'm kind of new to the world of MB. I came across a 2006 ML360, with NAV, Comfort Package, trim package, entertainment package, heated seats and sunroof package, this vehicle has 17K miles on it, and the guy wants 42900, which I think is really high because I came across another with 6K miles on it and the best price he came to was 38K. What should be my goal on leasing this vehicle? I'm think around 30K, please be honest. Also the only thing I would like on this is the xexon lights, can they be put on later? Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.

I would be careful of either. Why would someone sell in such a short time?? Are you comparing apples with apples?? What are the options on the second vehicle?? Why not just purchase a fresh new one?? Many people have retrofitted Xenons on the W163, haven't heard of any on the W164. However if you do you will not have the auto level which in my estimation is important and in some states must be installed to be legal.

both vehicles are from a MB dealership, they are demo's. All the options are the same on both vehicles. I thought of a new one, but the lease prices do sky rocketing when you want 15K miles per year.

Finally, it's here!!
Just took delivery of our 2006 ML500:
Iridium Silver / Ash Leather
- Premium Pkg
- Lighting Pkg
- Entertainment Pkg
- Sunroof Pkg
- Keyless Go
- Trailer hitch
Total miles: 18
$1,500 under invoice, cash price.
I could have done a bit better however we were looking for a very specific color and option combo. There were only 3 cars that met our search criteria in the SoCal area, and after my broker failed to get either of the first two, I went after the third car on my own and got it (and got a better deal too...)
FYI, from all my research, the L.A. area is a great place for getting some Mercedes models under dealer invoice cost. Not every dealership can do this, but a few of them can, especially if the car is sitting on their lot. Also depends if you're paying cash or financing. One dealer quoted my $3200 below invoice if I financed through MBUSA, or $1200 under for cash for one particular ML500.

BMW E30. I've turned to the dark side.
$40,600 '06 ML500, MSRP was $52,155 platinum paint and only option was sunroof. inside deal, of course. but really only factory kickbacks as our sales/finance dept would find a way to make a profit on their grandmother and still sleep at night. Don't hate. and don't spread it around.
