Appreciate everyones help so far on these forums , I have learned a lot.
I wouldn’t call that a good deal.
Although these are very hard to get a good deal on, I have seen some better than this.
Yes not a good deal. you can get better numbers
Thank you for your help.
What selling price should I target or % off of MSRP?
If any broker is available, I am very willing and able to pay for a better deal than this one I currently stand at.
Check MB World forum people post up deals there too but the common range seems to be anywhere from 8% - 12%. The dealer is only giving you 6% before the the incentive, pretty weak. Push for more and consider doing MSDs
Sorry Siejammy and thank you for your feedback.
Let me clarify. Selling price is 60,912 which is about 8.4% off of msrp plus 1,250 incentive which brings it down to 59,662.
Msrp - $66,470
Sell Price - $59,894 (10% off msrp before incentive)
MB incentive - $1,250
Sell Price - Incentive - $58,644
39 months 10k miles
Mf - .00135
Residual - 59%
Nyc tax - 8.875
$694 per month
$1,970 out of pocket which consists of
-75 doc fee
-694 first months payment

-995 delivery charge
This is what I was able to push for via emails and phone calls with the dealer.
What do you guys think?
Once again I really appreciate everyones input, knowledge and helpfulness.
Email them back on November 29th. Winter dream event allocation sales goals are ridiculous for mercedes dealers. I think you will be about to get 13-14 % off.
What’s the $995 delivery charge? Do you mean the acquisition fee?
sounds like he’s getting the car shipped
Yes sorry. It is the acquisition fee
On MB forum the highest discount was 13% if can recall correctly. Im hoping I can get them to 15% at the end of November if not December. If all else fail, I’m going to BMW. Would love a C43 though…
Wow 15% is super aggressive. Would be real sweet getting that, I wish you luck and I really hope you can. Make us all proud 
Im going to see if I can push some before from now to the end of this month.
Thanks, good luck to you too and keep us posted. Try to get 13% if you can. I know this car is very hard to negotiate so patience is key.
340i m sport x drive its faster than the c43 and handles better. Depends on what you like.
yes, im aware of that but where i live there’s plenty of 340i and C300. i rarely see any C43 and i love the AMG exhaust sound. i love speed and handling but im stuck in traffic everyday so that’s another sucky part…
I have seen some 17’s that were heavily discounted or used as loaners. You should target them because the Cap cost will be much lower.
C43 is a great option. Hopefully you can get under 600 which I think is possible.
I would love a new E43 AMG. The Lease on that is stupid.
Thanks, I’m hoping too. I live in a very compititive area (CA) but they don’t have anymore 17s or at lease one with amg exhaust. If they did, finding one under 600 shouldn’t be hard w/ an msrp of 59k and under, w/ max out Security Deposit. I don’t need one with loads of option anyways.
Find one somewhere else and have it shipped. Look online for 2017’s on cars.com or something.
