2015 ML350 Price

Newbie here. Can any one share some experience of buying a 2015 ML350? Discount off MSRP? Money factor and residual value? Which area? I plan to make a purchase in a week or so. Any tips will be appreciated!

May be a little early for a good sampling.
Have you considered a 2014?
People have reported getting 11% off msrp.
The dealer wants that car a little less with every passing day.
Money factor and residual are leasing terms.

Starting approximately 2 months ago to buy a leftover 2014, I was able to negotiate 12% off MSRP but always with options I didn't really want. Just as I was about to settle for one, one dealer offered me just under 10% off a 2015 and I could order exactly to my specs - which is what I did. I had contacted numerous dealers by email and phone before I received this offer. Just remember you can always say no and ask for more till you have a deal that is right for you. It is all about how much time you want to spend and if you are willing to deal outside your local area. My local dealer was only willling to offer 6% on a 2015 - so a difference of almost $2400 and a car with the exact options I wanted.

For a 2015 ML 4Matic gas the lease residuals in Aug are 30 months-59%; 36mths-54%;48 mths-40% with a buy rate right around .00135 for tier one credit.

Mileage for the above residuals is 12,000 per year - if I remember correctly add 1% to the residual for 10,000 per year.

Thank you all for sharing the experience. Sheepdog, the 10% off MSRP seems to be the benchmark for a 2015 ML350! I heard the dealer incentive was only 6% at this time? Are you able to share where you found such a great deal? If not publically, a private message is very much appreciated!

I am also looking to buy or lease a 2015 ML350 between now and year-end. Are deals that much better in December? Any data points would be helpful!

Im looking at a custom build '15 ML350 4Matic...64k MSRP. Have agreed in principle to a deal of 10% off MSRP + USAA fleet incentives + current month incentives on delivery (if any).

I too am curious if December deals are that much better? Currently scheduled for Dec delivery, but would consider sooner if not for the lure of bigger end of year incentives.

2015 ML350

We just purchased our 2015 ML350 (P1, lane tracking, running boards, keyless go, leather/wood steering wheel, pre-wired, trailer) ; the sticker was $57,645 and we we're able to get it for $50,500 after dealer discount and the United Airlines $2,000 discount. So essentially we received a 12.5% discount.

The dealer also did the 7yr/100,000 mile extended warranty for ~$2,800 and a 4yr service package for ~$1650.

Seems like we got a pretty good deal.

What dealership were you able to negotiate 10 and 12%? If I could get that info if appreciate. All the dealerships in the oc are too greedy.

I think you have a nice deal set up. Generally, they aren't going to go to low with out "support" from MB incentives. Take it and run. It's a GREAT car. I still try to sneak and drive my wife's we bought a couple month ago on a '14 for a similar deal. If you can get a '15 for that, I'd do it.

2015 ML350

Just picked up 2015 ML350 4Matic. Was quoted $49k + taxes and tags for new 2015 with MSRP of $57.2k from Philly dealer. My local dealer (NY area) sold me new 2015 ML350 off his lot with MSRP of $57.5 to get the deal. I am not comfortable giving out names. I started search looking for a deal on 2014s, sending out emails to dealers with color/package combos i was looking for based on autotrader and MB website search. Saw $8000-$9000 off 2014s; 2015 deal was too good to pass up.

Also, use these boards to get deal on extended warranty after you take delivery of the new car. I am seeing savings of $1000+ on 6/75 and 7/75. I was quoted 4 year prepaid maintenance from NY dealer for $1475. Was quoted $1400 from out of state dealer.

Thanks for the data points as well. I picked up my lease for a 2015 ML350 RWD last night. MSRP was $56,015 - sales price was just over 11% off sticker. $650/month including 9% CA sales tax. 36 mos, 7.5K mi/yr. $1500 drive off with 1st mo pymt, doc fees, $278 cap cost redux.
