could you please provide more details? is it for lease or purchase? if lease what is this translating into $/month and if you do not mind can you please let me know who is the dealer?
thanks,
chuck
thanks.
You are about 15% off MSRP which is good but I think if you wait you can get 18% to 20% off, just like the folks on the west coast,at least that's my plan.
Good luck.

For the most part, that is correct! However, it all depends on MBUSA and how their incentives are legally worded.
USAA is considered a "fleet" discount. So is the Mercedes Benz Club of America $500 incentive. Both can be used together because they are both fleet discounts. However, you can't combine them with most dealer incentives from MBUSA.
This month, Mercedes dealerships were given a limited quantity of $5000 certificates/coupons (based upon total sales) to use as they saw fit. Some dealers had 10, some 20, some 5. That is how the dealers were able to sell E350's well below invoice this past month.
As an example, my 2014 sport sedan was delivered in April of this year. I ordered the car in January. I had a $1500 USAA certificate at the time (much lower than usual because the E350's were brand new. I also had a $1000 Mercedes Benz club certificate - both fleet discounts. They also had a $2000 MBUSA certificate (the dealer) which could not be combined - so I bought the car in April (MSRP $64850) for $57500, or $7350 below MSRP OR $2850 below invoice. I got that deal because I buy a new car from my dealer every year.
Right now, I could buy that same car for $5000+ under invoice.
These dealer certificates are not publicly known and therefore that is why there are such outstanding deals available out there.
Next year, a new E400 gasoline model will be unveiled in the US as a 2015. 435+ hp, and is not a hybrid. Might be an interesting car to consider. This is a totally new engine.
I hope I helped explain these incentives and certificates.
BTW, once a dealer uses up their MBUSA certificates, they cannot get additional certificates. I believe these $5000 dealer certificates can be used on most Mercedes models. (E, CLS, CL, ML, GL, but not the new S or SL etc.)

When dealing with the internet sales staff in SoCal, I have been given quotes that are phrased as "XX dollars below invoice, less any applicable factory incentives." Personally, after speaking directly to a handful of dealerships, I would say MD at Silver Star, DD in LB, and AK at Rusnak seem the most honest and aggressive in their pricing.
Hope that helps. I have submitted specs for a factory build E250 that should be delivered in Dec. I hope the winter sales drive incentives are comparable to what they are currently or possibly better.
I did all my communications with the dealers via emails as this car is a surprise birthday gift for my wife and I don’t want to spoil the surprise. I contacted dealers in Walnut Creek, Fairfield, Fremont, San Jose, Oakland, San Francisco, San Rafael, and Autobahn in Belmont.
The best offers are from Barry in San Rafael for $12000 off any car in his lot. I did not however buy from him because I wanted panorama sunroof and the one in his lot has too many installed options I don’t need or want.
Autobahn in Belmont matched Barry’s offer and the vehicle I got:
Diamond White with beige interior, Premium 1, Keyless Go Package, comfort box, split real seat, rear deck spoiler, Lane Assist, Parking Assist Package (Parktronic) and my favorite feature the Black panorama sunroof. MSRP is $63535 and I paid $51600 with free chrome door inserts and the dashboard visor thrown in. Ask for the Internet Manager Joseph and the process was very easy. I just love the Diamond White color and my wife is unbelievably happy!
Good Luck Shopping!
1. Devon, PA: 20.5% off, refused to use United Certificate.
2. West Chester, PA: 18.8% off, cheated on me last minute about United certificate; agreed to take it as an additional bonus cash but refused to do so when I got there.
3. Princeton, NJ: If you push hard enough, they can do 16.5%. I have a friend who got $12,200 off a new CLS, which seems like a pretty good deal
4. Nanuet, NY: They offered 19.5% off a particular vehicle for 10 minutes. I do not like the way they do business but it does not hurt to get a quote.
5. Wilmington, DE: I got 16.5% in the first attempt but they do not have many selections in stock.
6. Flemington, NJ: STAY AWAY. Its sales manager tried to trick me with an 2013 model.
7. Ray Catena, NJ: Terrible sales persons - always took 2-3 days to respond to an email and unable to match anything.
Everyone else from New York to Philadelphia is unable to do better than 15%. My suggestion is to start with dealership 1-5 and avoid 6-7.
PS: United Certificate is a joke. No dealership takes it.

Very thrilled by the deal and more importantly by the vehicle. Been driving it all weekend, can't stop won't stop.
I used a lease broker, didn't go to the dealership other than for the test drive and to see the vehicle in person.
MSRP: $65,845
Sell Price: $54,004
Dez says he does out of state deals all the time plus he has a friend that can transport the car for $1050 enclosed or $650 open carrier. Shipping from L.A. to DFW will be on my dime, but I won't have to travel there since the paperwork can completed via overnite mail. I will also have to pay the 6.5% Texas sales tax to register the car in Texas, but no Cal. tax.
The only caveat being if the current $5k incentive ends before the car arrives in Dec. It's unlikely, but if it does end, I can just walk away from the deal according to Dez.
Dealership is in Virginia, I have to check my car to see which one. I'm in FL, he had it sent down here.

Residual is $38,552
Yes to MBTex (probably should have gone for leather, if only just for the smell!)
Did you give the lease broker a call?
I am not sure where to post this question. I do apologize if I am posting at the wrong forum. I am interested in buying a CPO 2012 E350 possibly with less than 30K miles. MBUSA.COM has the vehicles and most of them are sport version which I don't really mind. Anyway is this a good idea to get a USED E350 and what price range should I expect to pay?
Some dealers are better than others than checking off the items on the certification lists, so it pays to double-check (or at least spot check) their work. And if you want an MB certified car, you need to make sure it's factory certified and not some sort of dealer or third-party certification.
