So, did anybody get any good deals lately? I am interested in buying, but want to find a dealer that will give a good price without too much haggling...

Replying to: kimcork (Apr 26, 2007 2:10 am) 6.5% below MSRP sounds pretty good. What is the name of the dealership you ordered yours through? I live down in MD, but would possibly consider driving up there to get a better deal. How do you like your new ML320 CDI? I'm also looking at the 2007 Acura MDX, but like the idea of getting a diesel engine to save on MPG, especially knowing the gas isn't getting any cheaper! Would appreciate your help!

Replying to: stetsonbu (May 03, 2007 4:48 pm) I ordered through Mercedes Benz of Princeton; not sure they have any more available for order--but imagine they have a couple in inventory. I don't have it yet--it will be built the week of 21 June, and I should be able to pick it up around 4 July. I wanted Capri Blue or Barolo Red with a black interior, P1, and a hitch--and that combination did not exist anywhere (they can "see" every car that exists in the US, and every car coming down the line down in AL). I have an acquaintance down in the DC area who bought one of the first CDIs and is really thrilled with it. I checked with 4 other MB dealers in the area, and none of the others could order a 2007--all offered to order me a 2008--price TBD. I think if you're not fussy about color combos/options the deals will get better and better through the summer--my deal with Princeton was a good for both of us: I got exactly what I want, and they sold one of the last 2007s that'll come off the line well in advance. By Aug, when the 2008s are due to come out....they'd have to discount that 2007 more. By the end of the year last year, they were discounting the ML350s significantly (3K below invoice in some areas). In addition, if you don't mind buying a not quite new truck, 2007 fleet cars are just becoming available. I haven't seen any CDI fleet cars, but there have to be a few. Overall though, I think the CDI is more scarce than the 350. Probably they aren't making as many...and because of its better torque and the price of gas, lots of us are taking a close look. I also think it's worth noting that MB had a "friends and family deal" for employees during April...but none of the diesels were included, and that when I tried to use my insurance company's "negotiation" service, they told me the CDI is a "hot seller" and to expect to pay MSRP. There's good info on mbworld.org about the options that will be available on the 2008.

Does anyone know what else to expect above the Edmunds invoice price? I was told "$2500" under invoice, but would like to figure out what invoice is before going back in. Thanks.

I did everything via email and had a great experience. Purchased a 2007 ML350 Alpine Rain / Beige Premium 1 + CD Changer MSRP $47,395 Selling Price $42,000 Purchased from Mercedes-Benz House of Imports in Buena Park, CA. We dealt with the Fleet Manager, and like I said all via email. The car was waiting out front when we drove up. The only bad experience was with the Finance department, I don't want to go into details but I just tried to keep telling myself "You got a great deal" because this guy was just spewing BS left and right. Good luck all. |

Replying to: paxtonk (May 12, 2007 9:02 am) Based on one of the conversations I had with a sales rep, I think invoice is around 7% below MSRP, but it will depend a bit on how many options you buy. At the end of last year, the discounts were deep. I think if you can get more than 10%/$6000 below MSRP, you're making an excellent deal. |
