I contacted 13 dealers and most would not move down more than 2K from MSRP. I ended up getting to a discount of 11% with one dealer but they knew I wanted to lease and were marking up the money factor from .00123 to .00163. So I told them no deal on the car I ordered with them in July and found two more dealers willing to match their sales price and offer buy rate minus the discount for autopay which brang me down to .00113.

Here are the details:
2017 C43 Sedan
MSRP $64,285
Selling Price $57,370 (includes fleet discount through my employer)
Fees $1,694 (Acquisition, DMV, Doc)
Drive-off $2,000
36 months/12,000 miles per year

$723/month including sales tax of 8.75%

Now post your deal!

Thanks for the details - will update once I know my own. What is your location / the location of your dealer?

Your numbers don't work --what is the residual %?
At 55% it would be about $800
What is the fleet disc. currently on the C43 ?
Do you own this car now or is it an order or just speculation?
If an order how do you know the lease terms when it arrives--they change?
As far as I know there is no factory trunk money or any deals from MB.
Why would a dealer sell this car for less than he pays for it?
Do the questions make it seem I don't believe you????

The residual is 59% and I do not know the amount of my fleet discount, just that it was part of the overall deal. I believe it is somewhere in the range of $500-$1000 though. The car was ordered and is scheduled to be built next week.

Fleet discount for 2017 c class coupe is currently $1500 for October sales. I got this straight from the fleet program folks.

Are you counting your fees and drive off separately? For instance, are you considering your drive off as a $2000 down payment separate from the fees?

I just don't think this deal is going to happen with 11% off MSRP.

stillcap2

Yup - these numbers look right to me.

Edit: As in they add up correctly. Not commenting on % off MSRP, but without the fleet discount, it is actually closer to 9%. Still higher than I would have expected.

In July when I was considering the C450 I was being offered 13% off without even mentioning my fleet discount so I think a discount of 11% for a rebadged C450 is fair.

RDOCA

Old cars on the lot for a while and with MFG. trunk money (incentives) can go at lower prices.
New cars have 7% margin and dealer hold back.
you are saying you have a deal even after accounting for the fleet money at about $1000 less than the dealer pays.
Why would a dealer do this on a popular car?

what is the $2,000 drive-off fee?

inhartwetrust

My C43 Coupe is 10% off MSRP + fleet, so it's possible. This is my first Mercedes and my first trip to this dealership.

cksv

It's not a fee. Drive-off includes 1st payment and cap cost reduction.

RDOCA

What country and location are you from?

inhartwetrust

US, Central Ohio.

all this talk for the C43 sedan makes me wish i waited for the c43 i got the c450 for 13% msrp but seems like people are getting near 13 discount for the new c43 !

damnhotrod

Dang! $3000 off is the most I could get in Washington and I am still contemplating whether to go for it or wait till December

arnold0523

Most people got 5% max.

Thanks haha , but I'm missing the amg exhaust! Still haven't committed yet, test driving vehicle on Monday. Any idea if the amg exhaust makes a huge sound difference than the stock one ?

Guilty

Can't answer. I don't know much about C43s. I'll let the experts chime in.
