question on pricing S550v4-** PICS**
Hi am looking to pick-up a S550 V4 with the sport pkge, p2 and +/- rear seat pkge in white. I saw a few cars in NY with stickers around $100-$104. What should the approx amount we should ask off the MSRP sticker?
Thanks
Bobby
Also one more question, since I need to have decent rims should I go for the sport pkge or a vehicle without it and get after market wheels?

i went with the sport package,cost around $5000 or so more.Then i put on a set of 20"avantis in chrome,this way i can keep my sport wheels (19") and winter tires for the bad roads we will have next winter,and still have a cool look even in bad weather.As far as price goes,well thats all over the place.My '08 S550 4matic listed for $102,000 i got it for $86,000.Then 20" Avantis with Perilli tires set me back another $3000. Hope this helps.

You need to invest some time and look through this forum. There are threads ALL OVER talking about pricing / models and what have you.
Actually, just in this W221 forum alone there are about 3-4 threads titled "Pricing ...", all with pretty updated info.

Starting another whole new thread about pricing would not be beneficial to him as you can already see with the lack of response here.
I was just trying to get his attention to look through all the threads that have a ton of valuable stuff for him

I agree with nitomilt, You might have been able to do a bit better . I know in Feb you could have gotten 12-14k off msrp as dealer were unable to get financing due to the credit crunch. I have to believe as the 09's are being delivered dealers are dying to unload bloated inventory...

They MORE than make up for it when someone trades in a car. Dealers never lose money. They just trick you into thinking they are your friend and are willing to lose money just so you can get that car you want.
This raises a big question to me. When a person loses $40K+ on a car in its first year of ownership, what happens to that money? Where did it go? Is MB making that much profit, is the dealer making that much profit, or is it just that the buyer is losing that money due to the falling value of cars in general? I would have to believe it is the latter of the three.
BTW, my car got a wholesale value of $85K last month. That's horrible. It only is 18 months old, only has 21K miles on it and I paid $145K for it. A loss of $60K in no time at all.

No way in hell you could get $14k off on a new specially ordered S550. I did enough research and called just about every high volume dealership before purchasing mine....
In the end I got $9000 off SRP and from talking to a few folks in S CA today, that's still a very good deal

Yeah, if you were buying a "demo" model which was sitting on the lot for a few months....

Not sure about the math there, Austin...If the MSRP of the car he was looking at was 104,000 and he got the car down to a price of 94,000 then he got 10,000 off...you can't add the tax to the discounted price without adding it to the original MSRP and then compare the prices...
You're basically saying that the 104k MSRP was all inclusive, which it wasn't.
Either way he has to pay the tax, so you have to compare apples with apples...
If you're saying you got 9k off your car (assuming it had an MSRP of 100k), are you actually saying that you got 14,000 off?? So you actually dropped the price to 86,000 and then added tax to get it around 91k after taxes? I highly doubt that. Although, if your car was a demo or dealer titled, then thats another story...
