Replying to: hunter312 (Oct 13, 2007 8:02 pm) I'm in the tri-state (NJ/NY/CT) area and have been offered $6k off MSRP on an 08 ML350 Edition 10 by one dealer while the others are easily willing to do invoice/possibly better then invoice but no where near the 6k off that the one offered. And NEVER trust KBB/EDMUNDS "TMV" pricing its almost never correct unless the car really is going for MSRP (which they rarely are) if you have any questions etc. my email is sagarpatel1  gmail.com

Replying to: blazinginder (Oct 13, 2007 8:44 pm) I'm not exactly sure what the market is like down here actually. We only moved here a few months ago from England so i'm not quite sure how it goes with demand. All I know is there are a number of older ML-class SUVs driving around and a bit less of the newer models, with dealerships pretty full of them (at least the gas models that is). $6,000 below invoice would be about $46,970 unless I am mistaken, but i've never seen a dealer go that far below a set price. The MSRP on that 49k invoice would be $52,970. I don't know if I could get a dealer to go that far down, and I know that if I could that he'd definitely try to make it back through financing. Any suggestions or tips (especially on how to handle dealers)?

Replying to: hunter312 (Oct 13, 2007 9:52 pm) IMO, the best way is to make an offer and be prepared to walk. They will eventually just say yes or no. Be prepared to walk out is the key. If they don't counter with a lower quote then it's in your court to buy or not. |

Replying to: harry28 (Oct 14, 2007 12:29 am) I just did a price check on your exact car on Edmunds and it shows the MSRP to be $49,045 and the Invoice ar $45,665. I was wondering whether you paid the $775 destination charge and how you got the dealer to do $2,000 below invoice? If there are no 2007's left that means i'd have to get a 2008, and the price has gone up on those over 2007. However, I think the DVD navigation and the P1 package are now integrated. The dealer I spoke with was called Lance Shetrompf and he was pretty persistent. Couple things came up so I haven't gotten back to him yet about it. Did you deal with him? Also, what is TTT?

Replying to: hunter312 (Oct 14, 2007 12:32 pm) TTT = Tax, Tag, Title You are correct, in 2007 model Premium Package 1 did not include the Navigation system which I paid separately for. I specifically wanted to buy one of the last 2007's that was left. I went to 3 other South Fl Mercedes dealers and there were no 2007's left. I'm sure that was a big motivating factor for me getting it 2K under invoice. I also traded in a 2004 CLK 320 convertible. I'm sure they got me for a few dollars there. I dealt with Ariel. |
