Purchase a demo now or wait for new?
Hi, a local dealer is selling a demo '15 S-550 with 8,000 miles and list price of $115,000. Asking $102,000.
Any advice on purchasing a demo now, compared to waiting for a new 2015 when the 2016's come out? I would assume Mercedes will be offering more incentives in September, but was wondering what should be my best "reasonable" price for a demo. now?
Are there differences in financing on a new car vs a car with miles?
Thanks

You should be able to do a very similar deal (102-103K) on a leftover 2015 with 0 miles. With 2016's coming, you should expect smaller discounts on the new models. I think it's best to wait for the '16s to arrive and ****** a leftover 2015 with the latest production date at a good deal. Look at True Car to see the deals people are getting on new cars. Good luck!

For comparison, I found a "still on the boat" new '15 S550 4matic configured exactly like I wanted with only 1 minor change and MSRP of $117,920. I paid $104,900 and the only miles were the port to dealer (8). Bottom line, areas are different, but an 8k mile demo seems priced too high.

Buy new, but if you want this 'demo' I'd aim for at least 18-20% off MSRP

I agree Buy new. And from what I hear they are discounting the 15s heavily right now. Be careful about trying to snap up a leftover 15 with the latest build date when the 16s come out. In my experience while there may be an oversupply of 15s right now, as soon as the 16s cone to market the 15s are gone like magic. It's like they shipped them off somewhere as soon as the 16s hit
