A couple ways I see I could potentially lower even more:
1 - Looks like some others have gotten up to 25% off MSRP in the sales price
2 - The acquisition fee is marked up from $795
3 - I could be eligible for fleet discount which would get me 2500 instead of the standard 2000 rebate
4 - Alternatively - the Mercedes Benz Amex Platinum offers a $1000 certificate towards a purchase or lease, which states it can stack with other rebates but not with fleet discount. Amex has a second MB card that offers a $500 certificate. I’m wondering if I get both cards and both certificates if they would stack.
Any other thoughts on how to get it lower? Also - when do these 2017 loaners start disappearing as still eligible to lease?
With the rebate, you are at 22% off, you could push for a larger discount. I have heard lots of stories re: stacking discounts. Latest dealer with whom I was working said silver star would stack with fleet, but others have said no, it would only stack with dealer cash, but not fleet.

Apply and be approved for the MB Platinum Amex, spend $5k and you earn a certificate. There is a $550 annual fee for the card which is offset by 60k in Amex MR points. Also, if you can convince the dealer to put any of your drive-offs (and MSDs) on the card, you will earn 5% in points at all purchases at MB. There is also a different card with a smaller entry “tax” and smaller certificate ($500 vs $1000).
Do you guys know if there is a point in the year when they start shifting over to 2018 loaners instead of 2017’s - I imagine that will break this deal… my lease is up in Dec but I’m trying to figure out if I can wait this one out or if it will be gone…
I have found a dealer that has an ex-serivce loaner for sale at $34,800.
I am going to see if the $2,000 dealer cash will bring it down to $32.8K.
Where did you find the info for the $2K dealer cash? I would like to show them something as I feel they may say they don’t have it. PS- this is going to be a lease. I am hoping I can get them to do $32.8K selling price including the $2K rebate so my payments are around $270 w/ 10 MSDs
it’s amazing to me how Mercedes became what BMW was last year in terms of combining incentives/MSDs/loaners etc and that BMW just said “Fk it” and let MB take over. Kinda the best bang for the buck for entry level luxury cars this year.
I personally find that the excessive disposition fee is a hard pill to swallow and can’t see myself paying it regardless how good the deal is. I just don’t wanna be hit with a $600 just to return the car. Ugh!
