Negotiating with Mercedes on a 2014 ML?

I'm looking to purchase a 2014 ML350 with 21k miles and the dealer has it listed at $44k. I went to a few dealerships in town and they said that they refuse to negotiate on the prices of used cars, however, this mercedes dealer is a little farther away, but even on the phone the salesman was willing to negotiate. How should I go about negotiating the price. I would love to get the car down to $40k, but that is extremely unlikely. I was thinking that they would settle around $42k. Any suggestions on negotiating?

Once you know the specific options this ML has - I would suggest you use edmunds.com - under "Research" section and see what their 3rd party/impartial Certified Price is shown - if you get that/better than you know starting off - gives a way to "judge" a good/great deal or not.

Keep the beat !

I thought the same thing when buying my CPO 2014 E300. It was priced similarly to what you're quoting and I still got an additional 8-9% off that price. I'm in Tampa Bay Florida with 4 dealers to choose from in the metro area so that might help. But they'll negotiate... I'd almost guarantee it.
