2013 ML350 Bluetec Incentives and Price Negotiation
Hey guys, new member here. I am looking to purchase a 2013 ML350, most likely the Bluetec. I want to start discussing pricing soon with the dealer and had some questions as I have never ventured in to the Luxury car world.
First, are there any incentives and/or rebates going on right now or coming up in the near future? From what I can tell I qualify for 2k fleet cash and 2k USAA cash. Was wondering if there is anything still out there currently or coming up soon...
Second, before these incentives/rebates what is a reasonable number in relation to invoice to get the dealer down to? Invoice? $200 over? $500 under? I have bought a Ford negotiated to 1500 under invoice and a Honda I could only get down to $300 over so I am not sure what to expect here. Also the dealer I am looking at is a small dealer, they have one Bluetec and I think 3 other ML350s even on the lot. How does this affect negotiating price with them?
If it matters I will be trading in a '11 Mazda Speed3 and a '13 Ford Explorer.
Thanks for your help! Feel free to add in anything I might have missed thats good to know when talking purchasing with a Mercedes dealer.

Re post in the W166 section. (2012 and up)
They all just bought theirs and can give good advice.
All I can offer is that you will enjoy seeing 30+MPG on your BlueTec.
