#68 of 436 Re: Got it for $1400 below invoice. Is that good? [anthony555] by mevande Feb 17, 2007 (10:51 pm)
Replying to: anthony555 (Feb 11, 2007 11:48 am) No 'name' calling re: price/invoice. Anthony555 said ""I paid $1,500 over invoice for the hottest SUV on the planet. I felt the selling dealer was entitled to make a measly $1,500 profit on a $60K investment that he made."" You are clue less re: what the dealer paid. "Invoice' is never what the dealer pays for the car and you have not either been around or not literate re: car buying. A dealer can make a nice profit and sell a vehicle at invoice because of hold back. In addition, dealers get end of month and end of quarter incentives. I am going to the Chicago area to buy one for there is only one local dealer.   MOST people are here in good faith re: helping others and are not jealous re: if someone gets a better deal. We are all here to help each other. Replies to this message: mercara (Feb 18, 2007 8:13 am) carnutinca (Feb 19, 2007 11:20 am)

Replying to: mevande (Feb 17, 2007 10:51 pm) mvande:   To add to your comments. Most of us who read these forums are smart enough to know that this is just one of the many tools available to do one's research and I don't make all my auto decisions only based on what is posted on these forums.   But I have to say that I have found a lot of useful information on this forum.   On a separate note, Mercedes is offering low apr financing on the "Hottest SUV on the Planet". Makes you wonder why? Replies to this message: carnutinca (Feb 19, 2007 11:20 am)

Replying to: anthony555 (Feb 16, 2007 4:46 pm) Anthony555:   I have never actually purchased from carsdirect but I do use them as leverage in negociations. I usually use carsdirect, a few direct emails to dealers, Costco Auto Buying service, and sites like this. Costco works really good for my new Suburban every few years and carsdirect saved me about $1,000 on on 04 Cayenne because the CarsDirect dealer was low balling to move them and thus helped me with the Newport Beach dealer. Nearly $6,000 off MSRP on a GL450 is below "invoice" so I'm not quite sure if there is a dealer holdback. I know that it pays to shop until a few dealers tell you no.

#72 of 436 I just got a GL320 $1000 above Invoice by jshue Mar 01, 2007 (7:51 am)
The car is $72,395 MSRP. from SC Dick Dyer   I don't care about what other people say.   I know I got a good deal, last day to fit in 4.9% financing too.   Consider this.   1. There is a shortage of GL320 2. Color requirements from my wife. 3. Options requirements from ny wife. 4. Look at BLUE BOOK value from KBB, it is over the MSRP.   Good luck all the GL hunter, get away all the bull shiter
#73 of 436 Factory delivery in Alabama to save $775? by ericfelt Mar 01, 2007 (12:39 pm)
I understand that in 2001 Mercedes offered a U.S. factory delivery option for the vehicles manufactured in Alabama. Does anyone know how that used to work, i.e. what discount/amenities were offered, whether the $775 delivery charge was waived, etc.? The factory has announced that they are resuming tours on 6 Mar so I'm wondering if they will offer the factory delivery option again. Replies to this message: Jon90 (Mar 07, 2007 1:40 pm)

Replying to: ericfelt (Mar 01, 2007 12:39 pm) they did NOT waive the delivery fee. some story about they have to charge it on every vehicle, doesn't make sense to me, but I believe their transportation contract could be written this way.

Replying to: ms09 (Mar 07, 2007 6:41 pm) The GL is one of the few larger SUVs that truly drives like a car. You aren't going to think you are in a S550 or LS460 but it's the best available right now. Lexus has a LX540 in the works. I believe the ETA is Fall, 2007. I'm sure Lexus will raise the bar.
