Metro detroit area if that helps. The dealers I’ve tried so far just aren’t budging very much or at all and dont seem very motivated to sell.
First dealer I went to was asking 59k, I offered 48k and they countered with 56k and wouldn’t even entertain anything lower then that.
The second dealer I went to was asking 52,799, I offered 48k and they came back saying that there is no money on the car and if I can get it for 48k I should jump at the opportunity.
I countered with 50k and again they didn’t budge, the sales associate told me that if I pressed hard he thinks the sales manager might come down $800 making it 52k but that he didn’t see it coming down more than that.
Below is the deal I received from the second dealership can anyone tell me if this is a good deal or offer any advice?
2017 E 300 4MATIC® (DEMO)
MILES - 7,700
MSRP - $61,745
SALES PRICE - $52,799
MONTHLY PMT - $598 includes tax, $0 down sign and drive.
I can’t find anything within 500 miles online at that price and dealers aren’t even entertaining the thought of anything less than 50k. Any ideas on what I should be doing differently?
I went on autotrader and set my search radius to 500 miles from detroit. I didn’t really see anything much cheaper, is there a better way to go about it?
Look for online inventory at bigger dealerships them email the sales mgr. Rahal is big here in Pittsburgh. Benz of Easton in Columbus, Oh is a big dealership
Yes, I always search individual dealerships. It takes a bit more time, but eventually you learn how to get their quickly. Also, being forced to do it that way probably weeds some non-serious buyers out of the process, reducing buying competition and potentially lowering prices.
If you’re willing to drive to Illinois, check out my post for the E-Class; that dealer may have some deals. Dealers in Illinois in general are pretty competitive.
Hi Guys, I hope you’re doing well. I made this new account to share a deal with you guys because without you the information I learned from you guys I would have never even gotten it in the first place. My lease is due is February, so I started working on some E class Loaner lease deals. I worked out a deal and was going to sign today, but unfortunately I couldn’t follow through. I just can’t afford making the MSD’s right now because my brother just wrecked my 2017 Porsche Cayenne last night, and well DEDUCTIBLES are expensive. If anyone is interested in getting this deal I can put you in touch with the dealer. The deal was with a 6% tax rate; $410 per month (tax included). 10K miles a year, MSRP $62,000, Purchase Price: $47,000, First month Payment+$590 due at signing = $1000 and $4050 in Multiple security deposits also due at signing (Refundable at lease end)
Basically its $410 per month with tax and $5050 (which includes 1st payment) due at signing, of which $4050 will be refunded at lease end for 10K/36. Message me if you want it.
Also, I want your guys opinion on the deal itself. The dealer probably will have a little wiggle room (I think) because all this negotiating was done on email, and I think if I went in I would have probably gotten it to $400 a month.
Use @senwia 's contact. I got my E300 demo last week from the dealer in his post. I haven’t had a chance to post all the details, but it was a $62k demo with 5,500 miles. I did max MSDs, $1,1XX due at signing, and it was $382 per month including 9.25% sales tax.
Looks like an amazing deal! What was the selling price btw?
Here in Texas I have a dealer selling a $63k MSRP car for $53k (loaner of course) and won’t even budge.
Did you do 10k/36? RV, MF? Anything would help me calibrate. Thanks!
Haha I feel your pain except for the fact that I’m offering a deal in Annapolis MD to drive the 7 hours to pick up a crazy build they have and I cant get anyone to respond/
The sales price was $49,608. I also had the $2,500 fleet rebate on top of that, which was applied as a CCR. I did 10k per year, 36 months. They initially quoted me a price with a bumped up MF (they didn’t list the MF, so I had to reverse engineer), but lowered it to the base of 0.00092, which then went to 0.00022 after MSDs. They marked up the acquisition fee to $1,095 too, but it was the best price by far, so I didn’t worry about.
Can someone help my figure out what my Moneyfactor is? The dealer never mentioned it. Also, I want to give the dealer details only to somebody who really wants the car.
