Scored a borderline unicorn deal after negotiating for a few weeks. Deal initially started at $980 with $2500 DAS, and the dealer wasn’t accepting fleet. End of March they came down to $750 with $750 DAS, still no fleet. Luckily for April, the RV went up by 2% from 65 to 67, and conquest came into the picture. That dropped my deal down to $599 with $599 DAS.
This is on a brand new, non-demo, base model $87,200 MSRP without driver assist or the night packages. These cars have been sitting for over 500 days at most dealers and some are still unwilling to discount them. Deal isn’t replicable here as there aren’t any more in stock. Northeast area dealer, asked not to be named. I flew there this morning and drove it back.
ACQ was marked up to $1095, and MF is marked up 1.39% in lieu of the super aggressive discount of 25%. (Really 23%, since dealer “included” $1500 lease cash as part of the “dealer discount”
Any vehicle qualifies for conquest this month, you don’t need a “competitive” vehicle. I wasn’t actually looking for a GLC, but I’d be stupid not to take it at this price. @djrabbi blessed this deal before I signed. He said if I didn’t take it, he would sleep with my sister again.
Amazing deal. I was looking for 20% off a 63 a little while ago and had no luck. I wish Mercedes allowed lease transfers; I’d love to drive this for a couple of months. Congratulations!
Question for the uninitiated here, does MB not advertise reductions on MSRP? So I assume this all takes hitting up the dealers and working them down? A cursory search shows all of these listed at MSRP?
Mostly all dealerships are independently owned franchises, they all have their own discounts and limits. Some have a higher pain tolerance than other dealerships. It’s up to you to find those limitations and try to kick them in the dick.
I actually wanted something with drivers assist, but they weren’t considered “undesirable specs” and those dealers thought they had gold so they didn’t want to discount beyond 15k. Someone just scored the same discount on a nicely loaded spec though. So if you’re shopping for one, a 22k discount is possible even on higher specs. The monthly payment will be significantly higher, of course. The other LH member is at $975 I believe on a 103k spec.
Yeah, the $599/mo turns into $900/mo at same $ discount when you go from a 87k spec to 103k, or $800/mo at 0.0015 MF. Good deal for the model but not so sure it’s a good deal for the car anymore.
How’s the ride comfort and NVH on these? I know it’s an AMG but how stiff is it compared to say a Macan (we had a base but I guess this compares to the GTS somewhat) in the softest setting? What usually happens for my family in Michigan is that any car that’s “firm” on Texas/Cali roads turns into “punishing” on Michigan side roads.
GOAT indeed. He gives me a free car whenever I’m in town. He and my sister are “neighbors with benefits”. Maybe this fucker will be my brother in law one day. God help me. Atleast I’ll always have a decent selection of cars to pick from.
I’m about to pull the trigger on one myself (thank you for laying the groundwork) … Can you confirm if the base MSRP has adaptive cruise control or if its just a basic / standard cruise?
