Question 53 Coupe Sticker or Under?

Rates are up, inventory is up, and discounts are happening again across most of the automotive spectrum.

So, what's fair on a new 24 CLE 53 Coupe? The 25's are also right around the corner as well.

I understand each region is different but the days of addendums, full MSRP have/are coming to an end.

Things are getting tight. Higher rates and inflation have slowed down the consumer. Nevertheless this car has some hype behind it, the first few will likely go at full. I would personally wait for the 25's.

As things turned out, the order for my wife's car was missing important options e.g. driver assist as the DOG that the SA sent to me wasn't complete and I thought it was standard. I now have to reorder, and my dealer has an open allocation for this month which they will fill for me, but is perilously close to the 25's, which I'm assuming begin production in July. I know the cab's will all be 25's, any idea when they start production? Trying to use this as a guide.

No idea but I would just push the dealer for a 2025 allocation. By the time you get delivery it will be later in 2024.

I reached out to two dealers in NJ. Both are asking for full MSRP on the '24 with an estimated delivery between September-October. Hoping information is released soon for '25 so I can just order that instead.

I'm contemplating whether to place an order for the '24 CLE53 (build date 7/22 with a delivery time frame of early September) or wait for the '25. I really wanted a cirrus silver metallic exterior option but I'll settle for the alpine grey. All dealers told me full MSRP for the '24.

Bringing this back up as there are more buyers/owners now - what are people getting in terms of pricing?

Could have made the same mistake on the MY25 CLE 53 Coupe - ordered yesterday at the dealership.

Downloaded and marked-up the MY25 Dealer Ordering Guide (dated 07/26/2024) cross referencing my build using the MY24 online configurator. Seems that the DA2 Driver Assistant Package is not listed in the subject DOG alongside all the other Packages shown on Page 12.

Just checked the MY24 DOG (dated 02/13/2024) and it too is missing the DA2 feature on the Package listing, also page 12.

Fortunately the sales associate caught the omission. Might have gone differently if I simply emailed the DOG markup.

An aside - my Production Date estimate is 10/29/2024. Delivery here in Silicon Valley likely mid to late December. The Moonlight White Metallic coupe might look pretty good with a large bow and Christmas wreath if it arrives about then.

And yes, will be paying MSRP on this one.

Great your SA caught this, as I missed it and just emailed my dealer's GM with my order this morning, and b/c of this post just sent an update I want it to be included with my order. I was told production starts in Oct as well.
