Discount On New SL55?
What kind of discounts are people getting on new SL55's? Is supply starting to catch up with demand? I've noticed a bunch of 2003's for under $100k recently.

i was quoted $2500 below sticker from two different dealers yesterday on a new 05 sl55. that was the first price they had given me, i bet they would of done better than that if i had just asked, but i left it at that. i paid $1000 below sticker about two weeks ago from one of the same dealers now offering the $2500 discount.

My local and semi-local dealers in Florida didn't want to hear one word about a discount. They all said they had a huge list of over a year and didn't have to discount. I'm going to start checking smaller markets this week and see what I come up with.

Good luck with your search. I would have expected some sort of discount on the SL's, guess not.
