I would *almost* bet you that you'll never see 15% off on an S63
You may be able to get 3-6% depending on your location and dealer's mood but most will stick at MSRP
You can probably get more if you take one from existing inventory closer to next model year arrival (Sep), December sales push or the very very slow Jan-Mar thereafter

I have not yet talked to the dealer with a serious intent, because I am not yet ready to buy.. I am not sure yet, whether or not I would buy it new. I know him well enough that he would tell me SOME truth..
He told me that they have 6% mark up and 3% cash back after meeting certain sales quotas and that his dealership always gets the 3% cash back, because they always meet the sales quotas.
I am curious to know more about PeterUber's comment about the possibility of 15%.. Perhaps he was talking about a mercedes factory exec car - which also become available, from time to time. I have asked my dealer to keep an eye out..

and to answer your question, i will reiterate what i said a few posts earlier, "i think the best deal you can hope for is invoice on an amg (and any incentives available at the time you buy or lease it it)."

"invoice" is slightly less than 7% of msrp once you account for and net out the $925 transport fee, which is not marked up for purposes of the msrp-invoice calculation. as such, most people just use 7% as a rule of thumb for invoice, which is technically not correct but close enough for you and the dealer when dealing with $150,000 cars.

I can even see more off if the car is already on the lot or late in the model year.

Already I am seeing 2015 S63 in the $135 range.. maybe even $130.. i forgot the number.. with under 5000 miles.. on auto trader
Unfortunately, most of them don't include the list price of the car.. Dummies! or not?
If the list price is $165k.. $135 for 2015 would be attractive, even if used..
Its a pain to try and calculate the list price, with the options they list.. and they list a lot of useless options - Telescoping steering? Really? on an S class?
Anyway, I am not yet ready.. The s550s are not too bad now.. in the $82k range for 2014.. but a S63 really is very unique and tempting..

I'm planning to put a deposit to hold a build slot for a S63 coupe, either soon for a MY16 or next spring for a MY17 (current CLS63S lease runs through 11/16). I'd be very happy to ultimately get 7% off MSRP.
Unless I can negotiate a MF < .00200 I will be purchasing this time around. Residuals on the more expensive AMG cars are fairly low, and they always jack the MF up too. Leasing might make sense if you can legitimately deduct the payments, but in my line of work I really cannot.

I just bought my fully loaded S63 for about $13k under the sticker. Mine, however, listed for $171k ... has the normal plus the 3d stereo, exclusive nappa leather, carbon figer trim, power back seat, calipers, etc., etc. plus all the normal premium,three spoke steering wheel, black wheels, designo white, driver assistance, etc., etc. I am happy with my discount seeing this is the first month for the 2016 here in Florida ... but I also have bought 11 cars from this dealership in the last 6 years.
