Is this a good deal?

Hi everyone. Wondering what you may think about this deal:


2015 ML 350 in polar white, almond and mocha interior
Premium Package
Running Boards
Lighting Package
4 Matic
Driver Assist Package
Trailer Hitch


They tell me that's a $63k car and they are willing to sell for $59,400. I didn't ask if that included destination charges but I'm hoping it does. Wondering what you may think of this deal. Thanks.

People reported much better deals in the last half of the 2014 model year.
Lighting package, illum. star and running boards just boost the MSRP and hardly serve a useful purpose, but mine has them too.
Shop around, it's a commodity.

You cannot order the driver assistance package and the illuminated star together. The driver assist package requires the "radar" star.

You may be correct. I was listing what I thought I recalled. I just looked at the list and it had park tropic and lane assist. Not driver assist. Thanks.

If you are willling to take the time and be willing to walk away from the deal, you should be able to get something close to 9-10% off MSRP. I just took delivery of an ordered ML and was in that range of discount. It may take some shopping around depending on the dealers in your area.

I was able to get the dealer to come down another $1000. So at this point I would be at $58600.

On a side note, I went by the dealership today and I test drove the car. I liked the car overall but felt the steering was soft and squishy. I was not able to open it up much so not sure if the car tightens up as it picks up speed. Can anyone comment on that? Thanks.

Thank you for the response. Do you know how much it tightens up? It was really soft on local roads.

You get used to it.

Thanks everyone. I ended up not buying the ML350 because it just didn't have all the features I wanted and I couldn't wait 3 months to build one to my liking. So....... I got an ML 400 that had everything I wanted . Picking it up tonight. Pretty excited. Thanks again.
