There are listings in the California LH Marketplace (with available delivery to SoCal) for:
3 years 7,500 miles per annum
EQS 450 SUV 4Matic
MSRP $112,665
$2,000 drive off
$902 monthly (before tax no MSD)
and
MSRP $117,900
$3,000 due at signing
$1,015 monthly (before tax no MSD)
Even with a 2% worse residual for your 12k miles, these deal would be nowhere near $1,389 after your local sales tax. I think you should hit up some of the folks in the marketplace.
MSRP: $96K
Sale price pre-incentive: $79156
MF 0.0004 with max MSD $8000
RV 53%
My monthly payment post tax is actually $662, less than what showing in the calculator.
Initially I asked for $75K sale price, which was turned down by all dealers. So, this dealer offered the lowest quote, when I showed them a deal in NorCal for $78K but MSRP $94K which is 2K less than my car. Others didn’t want to talk to me
Let me know your thoughts.
Huh… they didn’t get you the fleet / Amex incentive? I mean you got a good % off MSRP, but there’s supposed to be $2,500 extra fleet rebate on the EQE SUV’s? Did that program end?
I did considered EQS 450 AWD. The one with the same options of mine (AMG exterior, exclusive trim …) is listed for $117K. My dealer offered $23K discount which is 94K sale price. With max MsD of 10.5K and drive off 3800, monthly payment is going to be $900, and plus insurance + registration will be over $1K. I just don’t want to spend that much on a car at the moment. Plus Mercedes EV is pretty new so I want to use EQE as a test to see how reliable mercedes ev is. If this EqE lasts for long time, I’m going to buy EQS SUV next.
