Any discounts?
Local dealer is telling me $10k over sticker. Just doesn't seem right on what will be a mass-produced sedan, I was thinking negotiating around $5k off or something. What are other's experience so far?

While I am not currently looking to move from my 2018 S560 for various reasons, a dealer asking $10K over sticker would be all I need to further cement my decision. It would also give me reason to consider another dealer. I can understand full MSRP on a new model that will be in shorter supply. But asking $10k more than MSRP by a reputable dealer starts to look like gouging/scalping. That's just me and I understand the motivation. But, if a dealer wanted my long term business, they would reconsider such short term tactics.

I've been offered a S400 for 12% off in the UK, September delivery. Waiting for him to see if the options I want are available yet.

In a normal world, anything over sticker is laughable for an S-Class. Sticker price if you are desperate. We normally get 7% off early in the cycle for a custom-build; usually 10%. More discounts for existing inventory later into the build-cycle.
In a COVID world with supply restraints it maybe different. Dealers where we are can only get 50% or so of their normal inventory. Meanwhile demand is high and that shows in high used car prices/trade-ins. I just found out that we could unload our SUV (2020 GLE 350) for a profit. Who would have thought
High trade-ins will subside with more new inventory; perhaps the combo of both can yield a good deal...

Covid has surely had far reaching effects. On the forums I am seeing people paying over $2k for an Escalade lease, $8-900 for regular E classes etc. Our basement freezer is on the fritz and it seems they are sold out nationally. I guess everyone is stocking up on frozen goods and need freezers. And now with the bitcoin craze I can't get a gaming video card without being price gouged to hell. Cards that were priced at $150 are selling for $600. Nuts....

I wanted a 1660 super but that's unobtantium right now. They are for my 2 oldest who wanted to build their first gaming PCs so I said that would be their Christmas gift. I feel terrible that they are still staring at boxes. I ordered 2 1650s through Office Depot 2 months ago and now I wait.

The 1660 may be part of the problem.....
