It should be a flat rate of $2695 across Canada. You can confirm this online using various websites such as Unhaggle, Carcost Canada, and Mercedes Benz Canada.

Where are you located?

that's way too high. There must be other bogus fees in there. Do ask your dealer to disclose full details.

Edmonton - getting raked out here. Bobble thankfully helped me with a OEM winter tire wheel deal that was retailing for $8K, which they discounted to $7700, finally after they said I was "nickel and dime-ing" them I got it for $6100.
Now the PDI is getting me mad with this experience. Never had this with BMW, Audi etc

Holy Cow !!
admin fee is $300 more than norm
Nitrogen air $99 .... tell dealer to put in regular air. My car comes with regular air right from the factory.
etch fee is totally bogus $380. If you are leasing, if car is stolen and not recovered, the insurance is paying MB Canada to settle, NOT to you. If MB Canada does not agree with insurance settlement, then this 3rd party is supposed to top up the shortfall and again, you will not see a dime.

I see the biggest rip off is the freight/pdi ... $4495 ... that's 50% more than anywhere else. You should really call out the dealer & maybe MB Canada to see if this is even valid. The freight part is fixed at around $1500 per vehicle, whether it's AMG or not. Thus, it's the PDI portion of the fee is a variable that dealer can charge differently.

For the protection plan $3260, do you really want this ... looks to me it's not worth it. If you lease, then I say you should opt out. just my 2 cents

Wow, you’re getting hosed by the dealer by all those extras.
Freight and PDI definitely doesn’t look right either.

You already have the wear protection plan in place, if you are weary about stone chip on the front and being charged for when returning the car, it is covered. I guess if you really want this, then get it.

I'll decline the coverage - makes sense

If you still want to do the front bumper and hood with PPF, it should cost around $1500 at most, thus, still save you some $.

I was tossing the Magno Grey Selenite idea but really wanted the Magno black and inquired about a custom color. It was close to $18k !
