My issue is that frankly I’d be happy to pay $900 even on a 110K car…
I’m just trying to determine what a solid deal would be on a new and loaner suv so I know when to take it and stop looking further.
Yea somebody here reported they got 22% off pre incentive for new 23 SUV but I haven’t seen the sheet yet.
It won’t get funded at that price.

Is it really worth $110k to you? If so, sign the contract

I am not believing it until I see the contract
There is a Nissan post where a dealer did some finangling. I doubt any MB dealer would do that though.
What percent off MSRP Pre-Incentives would you say is solid for a new and loaner 2023 EQS SUV?
You’re asking the same exact questions you asked yesterday and obviously are getting the same answers today. Does it really matter what we think on here? You need to go get quotes to see what the dealers in your area will do.
If you are happy with that number, then go offer that number and sign the deal.

I’m just trying to determine what a solid deal on the car is…
I don’t want to be offered a great deal on day 1 and think that I can do better when I can’t and waste two weeks trying.
Conversely, I don’t want to be offered a terrible deal, that I think is a good deal, and accept it.
When I say I’d be happy to pay $900, what I mean is that I think $900 is a great deal on a 110K car…Just in this case apparently, it’s not as people are getting way less. I just want to make sure I’m getting a good deal.
I’m just a bit confused because I’m being told that 20% is a solid deal on a new 2023 SUV, while at the same time also seeing a 2022 loaner sedan at 20% also being called a solid deal. So I’m just not sure what percent exactly I should be getting on a 2023 SUV when it’s new and when it’s a loaner too.
I apologize for asking so many questions and taking all of your times. You’ve all been very helpful and I truly appreciate you all.
You are taking it too seriously. 
Even if you miss this deal, more deals would pop up later. Just test drive the car, and see what the best deal you can get on it. If you think paying $900 is alright, then go for it. Otherwise, don’t regret passing on this deal while you look for better numbers.
It would be different for different people. E.g. for me, depending on my needs, I would not spend more than $600 on this car. And I am not willing to do the legwork for this car either. For other people, it is worth it to spend $1k for this car and do the legwork to get this deal.

A lot to unpack here.
You are getting too bogged down in the weeds with theoretical scenarios.
-
20% off on new/loaner SUV/Sedan is a solid deal. Period.
-
If no dealer offered that, you can either give up or lower your target. Important thing is to not get angry at yourself because somebody else did better
-
Realize that somebody else will always beat you.

I understand that. Not looking to do the best. Just looking to do solid.
At 15% off, a one pay comes out to $19K. At 20% a one pay comes to $13K. That’s a 6K difference. Just wanted to confirm that 20% was possible before I continued looking and spending time.
Was asking about the loaner because if the loaner would have a higher amount of discounts on it, id consider it. But if the hypothetical line is 20% for both, then I might as well just find a new one for the 20%.
There’s a LOT of data points for eqs on this forum. Do some research, you should be able to find the answer
Brokers here, who are getting paid for this, are doing 10% off with rate markups. If you are happy with the numbers at 15%, you should sign it.
This confuses me tho. All the brokers I see only get 10% off and have $900 payments. I don’t see any of the brokers getting anywhere near 20% off. Not even 15%…
A dealer might be willing to lose money on one unit, not 10 of them.
Brokers are trying to present deals that a lot of people can sign on for.
I understand. So I guess I’ll ask some dealers and see what’s the best that I can do. Taking into account that 20% seems to be a solid deal while 15% is average.
Have you checked with us?

I am happy but my wife thinks I am crazy impulsive.
