![Question](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I haven't posted here since 2002 and I am currently considering Mercedes-Benz once again. This time around, it's an SLK280 or --ideally-- SLK350, but I don't think I can afford that one. In fact, the 280 will probably be stretching my budged.
I was wondering what type of discounts dealerships are offering on these cars, if any.
I am in the South Florida area, but your feedback doesn't have to be region-specific.
TIA!

Well, I'm looking to lease, not buy, so used won't be any good for me, unfortunately, cause I do know you can get better deals that way.
I have details on the latest captive lease programs and, based on MSRP, I simply cannot afford either of these SLK's. I am hoping to find a discount large enough to make my payments bearable.
What I'm hoping to find out here is what these cars are going for based on either MSRP or invoice so that I know how to negotiate with the dealer, whether they're really giving me a good deal or I'm simply asking for too much.

I would check carsdirect as a baseline for discounts...most dealers should be able to beat this by $500 - $1000 easily, sometimes more depending on other factors (your negotiation skills, inventory, etc.)

SLK Discounts
Here in DC area, I had no problem getting $4K off a new SLK280. I believe 350s are seeing similar discounts. Also, I believe MB has special financing for May. I just got 3.9% for 60 months.
Not sure about Florida though.

Interesting. I was thinking the same, so I got printout from carsdirect and brought it to my local dealer. To my surprise he refused any discount from carsdirect price. Actually I should check another dealer, but was lazy and ended up by getting another car.

Don't give up on a new SLK

last checked.
For whatever reason, many people in Miami pay MSRP and don't bother negotiating.
I think you would do well to contact dealers outside the SFL area
and ask for the internet manager as he usually has access to the best
prices.

I just noticed that Herb Gordon Mercedes in Maryland was quoting around $3500 off 07 SLK 280s & SLK 350s on their web site. And that is without any dickering.

And I agree with you, but production for the 2007 has already stopped and the closest manual the sales person I am working with found is so far, they/I would have to pay $850 for freight. This means there is NOTHING for me, even if I wait, until the 2008's come out. From what I've seen, I would guess at least 90% of all SLK's sold are automatic and can't help but wonder why. Isn't this supposed to be a fun car? Sounds more like a statement maker + hard-top combination, but not really sought after for fun.
