I heard from 2 DEALERS today that MBUSA is going to increase the MSRP on all cars and SUVS by 5% starting October. Invoice will also be increased by 5% as well. They said this is due to the $ going down due to the economy. Has anyone heard this? Since 2 dealers are saying this I figured this is true.

For folks in NJ/NY looking for good deals: I got mine from a dealership called Contemporary in Little Silver (Monmouth). I thought they wouldn't compete with highway stores but once there, my salesperson (named Joe) was awesome. He went over everything and explained so much to me that it made the whole process actually enjoyable instead of how those guys up in Edison and Freehold treat you like a mill.
They bend over backwards to accomodate you (at least my salesperson did). More than fair. Bring your best deal and check with them b/c from what I could tell, as long as you are there, they will meet or beat and seem to have much better service. One of my tires was a little bit deflated and I called Joe and he took care of everything immediately for me. I can't say enough about the experience. I leased in April-08 Black/Black ML350-P1/Running/554/33mo/10K

RE: prices going up. Actually they just gave the dealers more money back according to my dealer. I want another ML once my other Range Rover is up but my rep said if things keep going the way they are, they will still do what they need to do to move the cars.

My understanding is in this economy MB Corporate is giving each dealership a limited amount of DEPP numbers they can give to the client in slow months. (only a few I think but am not really sure) It just depends on whether or not they have already used them up--that's probably what happened.

What is a DEPP number? I was told by my dealership that they were given the OK for an Ambassador lease which was how they got the deal for me. My 2008 ML 320CDI stickers at $52,200. Cap cost used for the lease is $40,400. Out of pocket only 1st month plus $90. 39 month lease, $589/month (tax included), 15,000 miles per year. Just signed on September 27th.
Seems like a good deal.

DEPP is like an employee deal which is very aggressive. (better than a triple net) Ambassador may be what the dealership called it. Whoever said they were raising prices was right. I just talked to my guy and as crazy as it sounds, they have raised the prices this month. Nuts! I guess they figure Benz owners can afford it or whatever but it still seems to go against the grain.

That sounds like a good deal byum. Does that include metallic paint as well?
