Are you a veteran or is an immediate family member a veteran? USAA has special pricing but you need to have some kind of policy with them (I have a $25.00 a year policy on a ring) to qualify. If you are a member of USAA or join, the dealer will sell you a new E350 sedan or coupe for dealer invoice less up to $2000 below invoice which is what I paid. Then you can also use the MB Financial incentive on top of that. That's how most of us got our deals - conquest incentives or USAA pricing. I also got 1.6% financing for 66 months on a 15000 dollar loan. They always have an MB Financial incentive which is why I keep an active loan.
Also the Mercedes Benz Club of America has a $1000 cash back incentive for its members.
You should check out all the details at:
MBCA.org
USAA.com
You can call either for specific info.
Hope this helps!

If you are a veteran or you dad or mom was a veteran, you can join. Even if your son/daughter is active or are veterans, you can qualify by them joining, and then you join under their membership.
THE BEST THING TO DO IS CALL THEM MONDAY MORNING (their phone number is on the site for customer service) AND THEY WILL WALK YOU THROUGH IT THE WAY THEY WALKED US THROUGH IT.
We will retain the policy as it saves me $2000+ on each purchase BELOW INVOICE.
If you are not eligible, see what would happen if you purchased an auto policy with them - to see if you could qualify for their new car buying service that way. I tried to get an auto policy with them, but down here in Broward County FL, their rates were twice what I pay with Liberty Mutual through Mercedes Benz.
Good luck!

Excellent people to do business with!

My question is this: why pay a premium for a hybrid that delivers about the same mpg's as the current non-hybrid? I'm getting 21 around town and 32 on the highway now. I would imagine/guess that the E hybrid will cost at least $4000 - $6000 more than the non-hybrid. So where is the savings?

We have an almost inexhaustible supply of hydrogen in the form of water and the byproduct of hydrogen combustion is mostly in the form of water vapor. I know that BMW has been pursuing hydrogen fuel cell technology and currently has a small test fleet of hydrogen powered 750i's in California and several other locales around the globe.
Let's hope we live to see this come to pass in our lifetimes.

Next, is the warranty transferrable to the next owner if you decide to sell or trade the car before the end of the warranty.
Finally, it's up to you. Even though you do not drive that much, if you should have a system failure or a breakdown caused by an unknown failure, it could cost upwards of $5000 to repair and/or identify. This is a Mercedes, not a Ford, so maintenance alone is 5-10 times more costly than a Ford or Chevy. Just imagine the cost of a new a/c compressor or a power steering unit.
Remember, it's just buying you peace of mind!

$5000 for 2 years extended warranty is too steep. I would NOT touch it.
135k miles is bogus as you said. price a mechanical breakdown insurance from geico or someone else if you really need protection of 2 more years.
I doubt that the true dealer cost for the Mercedes Warranty is $5000. He is probably marking the cost up by $3000 or more. As I mentioned in my response to your first post, if it was $1200 -$1400 in cost, even $1500, I would purchase the extended MERCEDES BENZ warranty. But $5000 is a true scam.
If you plan on keeping the car for another 4 years, and it costs more than $1500 or so to get a Mercedes Benz Warranty, I would get nothing. You can pay cash for a mechanical problem by saving the $5000 on the 2 year extension of the warranty.
What I would do is go back to the dealer and offer him $1500 or so for the waranty. If he says no, go to another Mercedes Dealer and negotiate an extended Mercedes Warranty. I am sure the finance guy is making a fortune on the back end with charging you that much for the warrnaty. A 2 year extension on your certified Mercedes Benz cannot be that costly, in reality.
2021 Genesis G90
Then bring up the extended warranty. I know you can get one for much less - thousands less than $5000. Remember, your car already has an extended warranty through the certification process. Thus, it should be no problem to get the extension. Good luck!

I belong to the Mercedes Benz Club of America. My dealership gives me 20% off on maintenance and another 10% off because I am a member of the MBCA. So, I am really only paying 70% of the total cost of maintenance. Also, as a respondent mentioned, they run specials. As an example, they just recently ran a special on an A service. It was $259.00 instead of their usual $329.00. Additionally, I buy a new car at that dealership on average once every 12 -18 months. So I have established a great relationship with the Service Director and Service Manager, for obvious reasons.
It's the B service that is usually more expensive since it covers alot more. I usually don't keep a car long enough to require a B Service.
In summary, I would always service the car at your preferred dealership so long as it is on warranty. Once off warranty, I wouild seek a service provider like the one you mentioned.

The best way to get a discounted price on an extended warranty is either as part of the NEGOTIATED sales price of the vehicle "OR" purchased through the service department. Service can sell a warranty, but then it gors back to the finance department for paperwork, etc.
I would not purchase a 2nd or 3rd party warranty on a Mercedes.
I'll try to get some more info, if I can, from my dealer.

Enjoy!

I hope that answers your question. Only 2nd and/or 3rd party warranties that are not Mercedes warranties would be advertised.

Conquest cash is available only if you have a registered qualifying vehicle in your name. Secondly, in order to get reimbursed from Mercedes for the cash-back incentive, the dealership must present proof to the manufacturer in the form of a signed buyer's order by both the customer and the sales manager. They would not be able to get the credit without that proof of purchase/sale.
I'm sure there is a way of circumventing this process, but I don't think a dealer would jeopardize their franchise or incur severe consequences.

The best way to get a discount is at the time of purchase when you can negotiate with management prior to the sale. Lisa used her talents to make some extra pocket money.

They prices for leasing were dramatic, more than $100 diff a month and always pushed to put money down which we never do.
PB was such a pleasure, my salesman 3 years ago did well by us again, Fred Fisher. Everything done via email only had to sign & drive away on delivery.
Sounds like you had a great experience in Palm Beach - also a good dealership from my experiences, but too far for me to travel - 30-40 miles or so. You might want to give Delray Mercedes Service a visit. I've had great experiences in servicing my cars there. Remember, you can service your Mercedes at any Mercedes Dealership - and their service department is huge.
Best of luck and enjoy!

I always service my car at Delray and the service department has been great. I admit I look for the color/options at the dealership closest to me then I give my guy the color/option package I want and do the deal via email.
I email all the internet salespeople and give them the opportunity to present their best deal without disclosing my lowest. I don't think it's fair to give the deal to someone else who only will undercut after I tell them my lowest price.

Here is the breakdown:
MSRP: $55975
Incentives & discounts: $8375
dealer discount: 4875
MB loyalty: 2000
cap discount: 1500
Base cap: 47,600
total cap: $50,064 includes bank fee, dealer fee
residual: 61% $34,144.75
money factor: .00189
33 months, 15k miles/yr- no money down except 1st months payment & fees= $940.52
I got him to throw in 3 year prepaid maintenance & window tint. Also, lowered payment to $670.00 tax in.
Definitely worth taking advantage of.
Most dealers still have conquest money available if you currently own/lease a qualifying competitors brand so don't forget to insist on that conquest money after you've negotiated your best price.
