Is this that odd of an option combo?

Working with the salesman they pulled total US inventory on the Bluetec yesterday and the system shows 192 ML 350 BT in all of the US with only 32 in the Western region. Definitely slim pickings.
One of the dealers I've talked to has a 2012 ML 550 fairly loaded with a sticker of $71,400. Its been on the lot for 102 days so assume they are motivated to move it. What should I expect to pay for that and are there any special incentives for the 2012 models?

I personally am loving my 550, once you drive one you'll have a very hard time going back to a 350. My sticker was close to $80K, but after a great deal from the dealer and an additional $2K off for the winter event + personal coupon I got in the mail I closed just a hair over $70K.
There are a couple of neat features on the 2013 model, such as colour display on the dashboard that might warrant holding out for a new one rather than the 2012 model. Also, seems like a couple of kinks got ironed out in the '13 year model, such as stalling issues in the Bluetec.

Here's one that I saw in person standing on the lot: http://www.mbwestminster.com/new/Mer...70b987ab59.htm
Best salesperson to speak to is Katie, she'll drive a hard bargain - but my overall experience was great, none of the "funny business" that other dealers have pulled on me in the past.
