A gaggle of MB's
A lot depends what area you live in - different areas have different concentration/competition depending on # of dealers, and different areas have different availability/inventory of ML's.
That said - best "fleet" program discounts generally come thru USAA, PenFed, even United Mileage Plus..

Got 12% off an ML350 I ordered in January for March production that priced out at $72K. Are we allowed to be that specific? No fleet discount. Just walked in to my long time dealer and ordered it. Was done in 30 minutes. It was painless, but then I only paid the deposit.....

After pricing it out the salesman says he can knock 6% off. I immediately told him to go talk to the manager. He came back with 10%. So I say "this is where I ask for 14%" and he cuts me off saying not a chance, but I continue saying "and you come back with 12% but you must have the deposit now." He ran back to the manager and the deal was done in minutes.
Is there anything else you people recommend I should or can ask for at closing?

Is there any other group that I can belong to for getting additional discount. I do have costco membership, but I doubt if it matters much.

A long delivery time usually means your dealer didn't have an "allocation" to build one, or not using his allocation on your order to get one for somebody else, or that he's using his allocations to build what he wants so that you'll pick one of his from stock... otherwise my ordering experience has been 8 weeks plus factory lot time & shipping time. Once they hit the docks here, they like to truck them to the dealer ASAP.
Usially a dealer has an order in the pipeline that he can make any changes to until its "locked in" & preferenced to be built.
I ordered my '04 Nov 1 03 & drove it home from the dealer Dec 26 2004.
I ordered my '07 Nov 1 06 & drove it home from the dealer Feb 28 2007... (Different dealers)
Ask your dealer for your car's VIN. If its being/has been built it has one.

I made an online price request and it came back 10% off. I worked it down to 12.5% over a week period. They did try a couple of ticks with the numbers but each time I brought it to their attention it was corrected. Make sure you run all the numbers yourself. At finance the guy tried to charge me $550 for the weathertech mats when the should have been $350. Said he entered a wrong code. In the end I got what I wanted at the best price possible but felt it should have been more professional.

You can also try NADA Guides, as they show more options than he official Mercedes-Benz website. They show you two lists of costs - Dealer Invoice vs. MSRP. I'm not sure of their accuracy, but at least it's yet another place to start.

ML350 BT spec'd out @ $62,715 and got it for $58,000 + TTL (7.5% off, so pretty much at invoice). Doc fee & reg. $370, and 7% sales tax.
Dealer was out of build allocations for 2014, so had to swap with another dealer to get one one of their open allocations.

I think the dealers are now giving out 5 to 9% below MSRP these days. Dealers who are a bit further from you are giving a higher discount than local dealers.
With spring kicking in, I am expecting the dealers to start getting a bit tight.
For March, I heard the MB incentive was 1500.
Anyone out there know what the MB incentive for April is?
