Seems like the w212 E63s aren't moving too well, how much could I get off?

I wouldn't see a problem getting the 6% off. Right now there are no incentives, so unless the dealer really wants to unload one, I wouldn't see more than that. Good luck with your purchase, what color are you looking at getting?

White, premium 2 package, pano and 19 inch rims. Or black, premium 2 and 19 inch rims. I don't care for the other options.

I'll just wait if it's just 6%. I'm not in a rush, just hoping the fiancee's mdx will hold up. :O

I will be pricing out 2-3 dealers sometime in March.
Will let you know what they offer...

bushburninc63

any other inputs?

I started the process of pricing out the E63.
Contacted 3 dealerships so far. No hint of budging on the MSRP.
A friend just gave me contact information on a dealership in North Jersey that he is close friends with the owner. Just placed a call out. Will see what he can offer...

With the new announcement, would you wait or not? I guess the choice is do you want the n/a or the FI motor? Or are you just in a hurry to replace your current car?

I'd personally be hard pressed to get a W212 at MSRP right now. Perhaps the current n/a W212 will see the kind of discounts the 2009 W211s saw (30k off) when the W212 gets the new turbos. And now any resale value is going to shift dramatically with all the 6.2s.

I'm kinda stuck.
My current lease ends 5/2010. So I have to get something...
I considered buying out my current car and waiting for the next generation M5 or E63 that will come with FI, but the residual value on my car is too high.
And a lease works better for me from a business perspective.

Let me know what becomes of this. I got a phone number for one of the dealership from a member here, but I haven't had a chance to call yet.

The w212 e63 that I'm buying is actually for my fiancee. We are going to keep it stock, so it doesn't matter if we get the N/A motor or the TT motor. The chasis and suspension setup most likely will be the same so it won't make a difference to us.

Yeah, it's a tough situation.. I guess you could buy some inexpensive used DD that has excellent resale and sit tight until the new F10 and E63 TTs are here. But that might be too painful

I'm waiting until the F10 arrives. In a few years I'll do a TT E63 or F10 M5. I bought my 2009 W211 outright but it was heavily discounted so I'll just keep it as an extra car.

The concern is the value of a new n/a E63 down the road. Also it's not so much about easy modding of a turbo, but there's the daily driving low end available torque, and the much better gas mileage. As much as I like n/a motors (sound, throttle control, etc..) the FI is better for real world everyday driving on the street. I remember Walter Rohrl always arguing for n/a on the track and FI for the street.

But BushB is right, it will be just a motor change (and probably some other tweaks and some new options.) So the decision is mainly about n/a versus FI and value issues.

I thought about the Caddy CTS-V. At 30k discount compared to the w212, it's looking better each day...

Call Melvin Douglas at EuroMotorcars in Bethesda, MD (tell him Ali sent you). Just got my e63 at a deal well beyond my expectations (family having bought a couple of cars from them and end of month helped). Plus, they have a lot of black cars in inventory.

bushburninc63

You got a pm.

shchow

Thanks Reeza, good to know...

Any luck with any of the other dealers out there in pricing the E63? Can't believe they wouldn't move off the MSRP...

Vanditz

you can find plenty on ebay motors new with 7-8k off msrp. You prob know what options and color you want. Just have it shipped to you and save 8k. Screw the dealers you are talking to.
