Now $10,000 Factory to Dealer Cash on R500

Before completing any deals on the 2006 R500, be aware that Mercedes is now offering $10,000 factory to dealer cash, up from $7000 last month. That should easily translate to discounts routinely in the $15,000 range. I don't know what they have done with MF's or residual values, however.

The dealership here has so many new unsold Rs on the lot they started to put them outside with the used cars instead of inside the garage.

The dealer gave my wife an R350 as a loaner today. It's black and has the dealer's name stenciled across the top of the rear windscreen. With the tinted rear side windows it looks more like a hearse than a hearse.

She's surprised at how agile it is (her daily driver is a C55), so using these as loaners is probably a good idea. But please, not in black.
