Good evening!

Interested in a GLS loaner (one in IL and another in MA), and I am getting conflicting information. Are loaners eligible for the $3,000 MBFS Lease Bonus Cash and can you stack that with fleet or Star Access? ABA has $3,500 incentive as well that I’d love to stack with the Bonus Cash.

Thanks for answering my question.

They don’t stack

Star access is their fleet / supplier incentive and same rules, no stacking as it replaces dealer cash

Thank you!

Lease bonus cash gets everyone, fleet adds $500.

Thank you!

ABA currently has $6500 listed as their fleet discount on the 2025 GLS. Can this ABA discount be applied to loaners? Is there a change in the discount if the vehicle is a loaner/program car?
Thank you

Yes, but ABA fleet incentive is only $500, the rest of it is a dealer cash. Do not expect another $6k dealer cash

What do you mean? Do you mean, don’t expect a vehicle discount in addition to the dealer cash? I see a lot of GLS models for sale, so I was under the impression that they aren’t selling quickly. THanks-

I understand the incentives aren’t stackable. Is the fleet discount from the manufacturer or the dealer? I thought the fleet discounts came from the manufacturer paid to the dealer. Thanks

Ofc a discount is to be included as part of a targeted offer made to the dealer.

The point is that “dealer cash” (which is jargon for a factory-to-dealer incentive) does not stack with fleet.

It’s either

Discount + fleet

OR

Discount + dealer cash
