Discount off MSRP on new SL55 w/ 030?

What kind of discount should one expect on a 2007 SL55 AMG w/ 030 PP special ordered these days?

The last time I went to the dealer about 2-3 yrs ago, there was zero discount and I was looking at about $165k out the door.

2006 SL55 with 030 Performance Package
I have a 2006 SL55 AMG with the 030 package 2,900 miles perfect new conditon Silver with Black Leather pano roof, heated/vent seats, keyless go,sirus sat radio, and Bi-Xenon lights.

I might sell it, its been in my heated garage undercover for the winter, but if it does not sell by March I think I will keep it for the summer. Let me know I can send pictures I love this car it just does not work for me with my 15 month old daughter maybe a S63/S65/Flying Spur will work better for me at this time.

I have an 07 55 on order with the 030pp. All I got was sad looks when I tried various pitches to get any discount. I had even cared for the dealership's daughter in the past. I got the feeling that no dealer in San Diego would discount even to their Mother. Next time I'll go in with my friend Vinnie from Detroit.

I got my 2007 SL55 030 for 7 percent off by doing european delivery. It was worth the wait, a lot of fun.

No one in Louisiana or Texas that I spoke with last year was willing to offer any discounts.

How did you get a discount for Euro delivery of an AMG? They don't offer the discount program for Euro delivered cars.. You can Euro deliver but the kill the discount on AMG's.

Are you just lucky?

I was told that vehicle models come and go for ED. Some AMGs were/are available now. But I do feel lucky.

The SL55 has been the only AMG available on EDP for some time now.

The discount applies and you can order any options you want, although the discount doesn't extend to options.

Actually, even a 2007 SL65 isn't a bad deal in comparison. The price of a similarly-equipped SL55 is close to $150k when you consider the 030 and some other options are standard on the 65. The last $35k is a bargain for the 65 experience.
