Discount off MSRP for E63's???
A friend is likely to buy an E63 very soon and wants to know how much of a discount off MSRP can be expected. He is in the Los Angeles area.
If you know how much discounting is going on in LA (or elsewhere in US), please let me know ASAP.
Thanks a lot!

i have seen 5-6K off msrp by a few dealers on Ebay over the past few months so I would expect at least 5k minimum IMO.

I did talk to Vadim, who was very helpful. Thank you to all who replied with your suggestion to talk to him.
My friend did end up buying a black on black E63 from his local dealer.

Ok...I guess I must be getting old because I need a translation.
At first, when I saw "werd" appearing in posts I thought it was a "cool" spelling of "weird". I guess the context of the post did not make the meaning of this new word clear to me.
Now when I see it here, I assume it some kind of affirmation of previous comments...kind of misspelled shorthand for ol' Vanilla Ice's phrase: "Word to your mother". Is that right?
Someone confirm for me the definition of "werd", and the origins of this word. I have been losing sleep over my obvious uncoolness.

Is that really 15K off MSRP on an '07 E63? If so, can that level serve as the cap cost for a MB lease? That would result in a pretty decent lease payment based on the latest rates/residuals posted at the Roadfly leasing message board. Also, pardon my ignorance but who is Vadim and where can he be contacted!

This was a couple of months ago, of course. I didn't want to travel too far and my wife insisted on a color that HAD to be custom-ordered so I couldn't get nearly that much, but if you want white/black/silver and are willing to compromise on options I would say $5000-8000 should be easily doable, as long as you stay out of NYC/LI (and I would guess other areas). And even though I prefer to negotiate off MSRP you do have to be careful with some add-ons dealers like to slip by you (e.g. "marketing").

Vadim works magic. Don't forget all deals are subject to the situation, but yes, the E63 lease rates are pretty competitive when compared to the M5.

Hehe!!
Not here to argue. And definitely not saying that everyone's situation warrants it. You are right about your numbers, though.

Thanks for the info! To be clear, if $14K off a ~$95K MSRP is available, that brings the cap cost to ~$81K. Running that cap cost with the current MB captive lease rates (per Leaseguide.com) yields a payment of about $1,200/month for a 39 month lease, 12K miles/year lease with zero down. The payment actually drops slightly for a 27 month lease (due to residual value of 73%)! That assumes $1,000 in other costs and highest credit rating. That's a fabulous deal at anything close to those numbers. Perhaps he will add some basis points to the rate and that is how they justify the deal. I'll give him a call and find out.

Jangy I did a simple build at cars.com and fully loaded up the car and here is what I get:
E63 AMG 4dr Rear-wheel Drive Sedan Base
MSRP1 Invoice2
Base Price $84,600 $78,678
Destination $775 $775
Options $8,390 $7,803
Gas Tax $2,100 $2,100
Total Price $95,865 $89,356
I ask you this, find me a dealer that today or in the next few weeks will sell this car for 81k or 15k back of sticker. Cost on a 95k car is 89k. I know that Vadim wont because I would actually consider getting this car. 15k off sticker would be about 8k back of invoice.

I agree that it has the ring of a "if it sounds too good to be true....." deal. If the discount below invoice is anywhere near that number, they must be making it somewhere and I assume it is in the financing by marking up the lease rate perhaps. In any event, it is worth a call down to MBLN to see what they are willing to do. I won't be a buyer (lessee actually) unless the numbers are somewhere in that ballpark, but I am definitely there for a 27 month lease if my numbers are close to theirs. The high residual in 2 years is what makes the deal work if the cap cost is close to the $14K discount from MSRP.
