Lot of 2026 S Classes on my dealer lot

I was my dealership yesterday for my service and noticed a ton of new S Classes sitting on the lot and inside the showroom. With the announcement of new refresh, I bet deals can be made on 2026 models.

Is anyone planning on buying a 26 instead of waiting for the refresh? I’m definitely getting refresh myself.

I still want the refresh. I am going to visit my local MB (who wants me hooked on the new refresh). So, to start I will test drive the 2026 S Class to get an idea of how the 2027 will preform. Not sure I can be talked into the 2026 (short of $25k off MSRP)... because I really want the new MB drive assist (pro)- bcoz currently I have a BMW that has hands-free steering... I don't want to give that up, and certainly don't wanna go backwards in a tech-savvy car. I just hope the 2027 M$RP and added options doesn't price me out of the new S class market.

Just FYI $25K off MSRP is absolutely doable.

West Covina MB gave me $28K off of my current S580 in 2023... I'm sure crazy deals are a possibility now.

Great info guys. I am still waiting to see the MSRP and deals on the 2027 models first - and if those aren't great I will consider the 2026 S class.
Oh @SW20S - when you said $25k off was doable - you were referring to the 2026 MY in my comment? yes?
thanks

Yep, I also got $25k off of my 2024. Should be doable on a 26 for sure.

I bought a new ‘23 S580e nearly 3 years ago and they automatically took $20k off MSRP, and then we negotiated the final price.

If there are too many '26 models on the lots, it may also delay the shipments of the '27's. We have seen this in the past that MB held back customer cars and inventory to draw down the old inventory...

I actually almost bought a 2020 S560 from West Covina and had it shipped across the country, they were great to deal with.

Just checked out their website. They have 103 new S-class on the lot? How big a dealership is it? (Actually, I was more impressed by the number of AMG 4-door they have. There's like zero in New England.)

I do know the more AMGs a dealership sells the more they get allocated from MBUSA. My salesman here in Atlanta shared that tidbit with me when I bought my E63.

Not very big. However, they have a huge underground garage and a bigger satellite lot - The garage was a veritable sea of dust covered S-Classes w/ dead batteries due to sitting for so long. I got a crazy deal, and my service center replaced the battery under warranty.

They're not great right now, 3/36/12k its a 49% residual and a .00078 MF which is good, $2k in dealer certificates...so thats essentially a $2k rebate, with fleet you can probably replace that with $2,500...

When I got my 2024 there was a $10,500 rebate
