any left with less specs and cheaper monthly?
Yeahā¦ambient lighting is a party trick IMO. I played with it for a bit in my wifes car but after 5 minutes she simply said ācan you make it normalā and its been there ever since
I ended up with a 5 series loaner. I wanted an E class instead but I loyalty and figured Iād have a better chance landed a deal before lease support ended last month
Congratulations! Great hack!
Great job on the deal. Enjoy the car!
I imagine amber is the most ānormalā in terms of just adding a nice glow to the cabin.
Great deal!!
pretty sure this deal you shared started a flurry of requests/leases to the MB dealers - iām certainly one. was working on an E-AMG yesterday with a dealer about 2-3hrs away, and was snatched up in-person before I could finalize for it today. the hunt continues!
in searching for the fleet incentives, came across a few others which are pretty good - $3k on CLS, $7k on S-sedans, $1750 on GLC.
one question i wasnt able to confirm myself with the MB dealer, but believe you might know - is the lease cash and the fleet incentive stackable?
From my understanding they stopped fleet program during pandemic, but recently resumed.
Maybe @nyclife can chime in?
I donāt doubt that fleet exists. Iām just wondering whether if 21% off MSRP and the full $3k incentive can be easily replicated or if your dealer really just wanted the car gone.
suggested price from a few car sites are 10-12% off MSRP new, and given it being a loaner - many having closer to 10k miles due to short supply from the pandemic - i dont see why 20% isnāt attainable.
production is getting better for all car makes so they should be very willing to move them with replacements on order/delivery
Not stackable:(
Fleet incentive has never stopped.
20% off a loaner is not as easy as it used to be. I spent many hours and emailed many dealers to get past 20% on a loaner 5 series. I think the E class even tougher
I thought the fleet discount didnāt apply to loaners.
I was guessing that the dealer either applied fleet when they shouldnāt have or they just wanted to get rid of the car and just took another 3k off themselves.
I think @Calvin.MB is confirming fleet doesnāt apply to loaners?
I think the 2k lease cash cannot be combined with the 3k fleet is what heās saying.
MB does allow fleet on loaners, I believe it was that the dealer would chop up the incentive where portion was already applied to the vehicles discount or something along those lines - and when submitting paperwork thru finance, they still applied full incentive causing the dealer dilemma (internally)
If he can set it straight - please do.
In the end I think the fleet plus ~15% off isnāt bad at all, and if you can pull the 20% as many are hoping
They do allow fleet on loaners.
Regular incentives do not stack with fleet incentive
Let me share some useful information which can help others to find a good deal:
my car was found on sonicvipservices.com website. Before contacting the dealership it was listed in the website already with %20 discount. Plus minimum money factor, fleet rebate & MSD made this deal unbeatable. Itās hard to find a good car / spec-ed loaner with good MSRP discount and good fleet rebate. Money factor is negotiable with dealership if itās too high.
Good luck to everyone!
Thatās right, itās not stackable. I checked in edmunds website, incentive was 2k for that car, but fleet was 3k. Used fleet with more rebate.
