I am looking to replace my EQE with another Mercedes and I want to optimize my time and effort getting a new one. Those who recently dealt with Socal Mercedes dealers, which of them will play ball when I mention LH? I am trying to avoid initial bs quotes and also prevent being ignored when I mention LH level numbers.
April Fools still?! 
The first rule of LH…
Ok, ok… Let me put another way.. Since there is no advertising Merc dealers in Socal, do you have any contacts that will not waste my and his own time? I am trying to avoid the initial BS quotes.
This is literally what brokers are for. Check the marketplace!
Don’t accumulate quotes. If you put an educated but aggressive lease payment/DAS together using expected discount off MSRP, rebates, base MF and RV for your term and tell them you are ready to pick it up today the process will yield fruit!
Honestly you’ve been on here long enough and by now would have to seen just about the No. 1 piece of advice on here is to not ask for “quotes” or the “best numbers” and instead use all the data points ( Signed, Broker sheets, etc… ) on LH to craft up a proposal to a dealer.
It’s very little time wasted time once you identify the max dealer discount you can get to then utilize base mf, correct rv, and any incentives you qualify for. The offer goes to a dealer and very quickly they say yes or no, or you meet somewhere in the middle where you’re still happy.
It’s expected to be told no by a number of dealers then get to one that says, you know what, let’s get that vehicle out of here today, and you have a yes.
I had good results with Foothill Ranch and Buena Park and BAD results with Newport Beach and South Bay
My experience at MB Laguna Niguel was decent…but that was 3 years ago and they are under different ownership now.
