Talking Best Deal Anyone Made???

For those who bought 2006 or 2007 SL models, I'm interested to know how you folks negotiated your deals ... Do you know how much over invoice you paid and what is the name of your dealer? I'm interested to hear specially from those who bought in Southern California but let me hear from those in other states though too. I'm actively shopping around for the best deal on an SL55 AMG (either 2006 or 2007).

Thanks,
bari

On a 2007 SL55 I just read a post where someone was negotiating a 2k$ above invoice.

December I believe is the best time to buy a car (soonest best time that is).

Was this for a 2007 model and the deal was made in December of 2005? Who was the dealer, do you remember?

Thanks...

This thread is about new cars (i.e. MSRP/Invoice) - not used cars that have been titled.

Best Deal

Hi all,

I just recently purchased my SL55 AMG, 31K miles, pristine condition with all the options possible, 72K. I think this has to be one of the best deals. If you're wondering if it's salvaged, it's not. I got it through a dealer auction. There's an auction in Riverside, CA where practically all the luxury cars get sold to other deals. I basically bought the car directly from Mercedes Benz Financial. It was a 3 year old leased car.

Enterprise rent-a-car!!!
there is factory incentives on SL's right now. up to $20K on some models, dealers dont have to declare this, so they sell it to you at "invoice" but are really making $20000.00 on you.
Do your shopping.

I purchased my 2006 model SL55 in December 2005...

Price paid was full MSRP + fees... I probably could have got a couple thousand knocked off the price - but needed to get it done and get the heck out of there...
