new 2012 SLS pricing?

I been trying to work out a fully loaded deal with my local dealership for a SLS, but they refuse to discount anything and I must purchase at the MSRP price?
I understand these inventory are rare, but is been around for 2+ years now, What are other buyers out there paying? and anyone paying close to invoice for the SLS?

any help or info would be appreciated.

Depending on what you are looking for, I think my dealer might be able to work with you. PM me with what you are looking for, and where you are. I am in Northern CA.

Coupes tend to still go for MSRP with Roadsters getting a couple thousand off of MSRP sometimes. Low volume=limited discounts.

Why not go with a pre-owned 2011? I'm seeing some pretty significant discounts.

The ONLY way to go is pre owned. Get something with under 1000 miles and you will save a bunch and the car is basically new. Silly to buy brand new

Brand new prices are very close (less than 5-10% in some cases) and you have a car you can guarantee wasn't abused, full warranty, blind-spot detection in the 2012, etc. The exact colors and options you want...but if you want a 2012 you'll have to order quick. The 2013 in the US is only available in the GT version, which will likely have a base price of $205k+, $16k more than the 2012.

Not really. I saved a good chunk or cash and this was on a 2012 SLS. Nice long warranty still in effect, blind spot detection, exactly the color and options I wanted and IMMEDIATE delivery! Car had a little over $1K miles and looked and felt like new.

I bought from a reputable MB dealership that I've known for a while so I have zero concerns about damage to the car or abuse.

With the money I saved, I can now justify the cost of upgrading to the GT version if I were to choose to do so
