Have you verified that Texas will give you a credit against the TX sales tax, for the tax paid in California? That part would worry me...

total drive off $40500.00 plus 6% CT Tax
First required 10K service included at N/C
If you have time be sure to visit the Mercedes-Benz museum in Unterturkheim. It is beautiful and has many fascinating vehicles, going all the way back to 1894. Have fun!
Picking up a new Mercedes to drive in Germany isn't bad, either!

Since I don't see any really good leasing programs for 2011 models, maybe it makes sense to wait a few months for new 2012 models, because they will have much better residual value and dealers will be still flexible, because essentially it is the same car with no major changes...
If you're talking a $40K plus MSRP you MIGHT get $4K off but I think that's stretching it. I don't think there's that much gross at sticker to give away.
They also offered me a service contract for the 3 year lease for about $500 which I declined. Not sure what they do for flatbed service in for service, but I wasn't interested in any of it because I do my own scheduled services. Besides, for 3 years all there is to do are oil changes and I wouldn't be going out to 10K anyway. First change at 4K, next at 10K, and at 5K-5500 mi intervals after. 6400 miles on it today, 8 months old.
BTW, it's a great car. One of the best I've owned. This is my 5th MBZ.
How is the market for purchasing 2011/12 right now?
Comparing the 2 sites:
Edmunds' TMV shows about 3% BELOW Invoice vs. Truecars.com showing about 1% ABOVE invoice.
Any recent feedback would be appreciated.
More important to find theone you want. You're talking maybe a grand difference on a $45K car. Watch your lease or buy rates depending on which way you go. That will amount to a lot more $$ in the big scheme of things. MB finance are really great to work with, good rates currently while the market is down.
BTW, it's a great car. Mine is almost a year old, 8K miles, flawless. Like it as well today as the day I bought it.
from my research on the various pricing sites:
MSRP is about 6% above invoice &
10% over true dealer cost (taking out the holdback).
Glad you are enjoying your GLK!
May I ask what month you bought it? 2011 or '10?
had a good experience on my last car buying it then so I thought i would pounce on the the end of year sales competition that the dealership will have amongst each other.
But finding the right car that is available will be the bigger challenge!
Paid $ 37,142 plus tax and tags for a 4matic with P01 premium package, heated seats and COMAND nav. system.
Anyone else with a similar or better pricing in Northern Virginia area ?
It was nice to be able to deal with a straightforward, knowledgeable sales consultant !
- 2011 4matic with P01 premium package, heated seats, MMI COMAND NAV Rearview Camera, AMG Package for: $45K OTD.
or 1% under Invoice OTD.
MSRP was $44,355 and the vehicle is equipped with the following options:
Palladium Silver Paint,
Heated Seats,
Keyless Go,
Nav + 4,
P01 Premium Pkg,
Sport Appearance pkg.
The entire experience was outstanding. The salesman, sales manager, and finance officer were courteous, professional, and kept all the nonsense to a minimum. I highly recommend this dealership.
MSRP is $45,660
Invoice 43,160
MF 0.00187
Residual 63%
Term 30-month
Acquisition $995 (too high I thought for NC?)
Disposition $595
Doc fee $398
Trade in amount $3000
Lease payment $586/month (NC tax included)
Package/Options:
P1
Color Steel Grey
Destination charge $875
Multimedia
Lighting
Heated Front
Keyless Go
* I accepted the Simoniz GlassCoat interior protection too... think about $519/yr and residualized :-(
Simoniz Glasscoat = waste of $$
Disposition probably get waived if you trade back.
Aquisition non-negotiable from MBZ NA.
30 month is very short, 2-1/2 years. Most are 36, 39, or 48. The depreciation schedule is accellerated on the shorter terms which drives up the payment.
My payments are $435 based on a cap cost of $35K for 39 months.
If your cap was at or under the invoice then you probably did as well as you could possibly do.
Can anyone provide the February 2012 residual value and MF for a 30 month lease on a glk350w4? Would like the residual for a 30 and 36 month lease, for both 10k and 12k miles per year.
I've been quoted: money factor .00135 residual 62% for a 30 month at 10k miles per year.
Is this accurate and what do the alternatives look like for more miles and longer term?
Thanks in advance for any help.

This doesn't seem like a good deal to me.
The discount is reasonable imo. Seems to me my buy had similar numbers.
I'm not sure how much better you think it should be, a couple of hundred less? Make an offer. Worst they can say is no-deal.
+Heated seat
+ipod kit
Total=35K
Is it a good price? Looks like the new 2013 model is coming with some major redesign, which may explain some deep discount running this month.

Much better!
Mercedes Benz of Sarasota (Florida) handled all aspects of the transaction in a very professional manner. Thus, we are very pleased not only with the vehicle but with the ease of making this deal.
What was MSRP on it? There isn't 30% markup in them.
Vehicle value: $43080
Discount: 6080 and dealer paid half of the 3M Film Protection thing
Price: 37000 (or $37250 with 3M film thing)
They also let me buy MB genuine all season floor mats for $50 if I like.
No trade-in anything.
That said, the 2013s will not be aggressively discounted, so I went ahead and bought a 2012 back in January. MSRP was $41,xxx, USAA price was $38,xxx, arctic white with 4Matic, heated seats, Nav+4 and nothing else. Couldn't be happier.
MSRP is about 40k with destination fee, so that's basically 6.3k off MSRP (including 2k conquest incentive).
I do want metallic color but they all come with many options and MSRP are 45k+.
I think the dealer is pretty aggressive on discount this month, is this a good deal?
If so, it's a good deal. Heated seats are really nice if you live in a cooler clime.
Both options are a non-issue here in so-Cal, unless you're a skier. The panorama roof is the hot option here.
how about this offer:
2WD base + iPod only, MSRP $37xxx, offered price $31400, about $5.8k off MSRP. so comparing to the 4WD offer I saved about 2.1k, get iPod and lost heated seat option that I do not need much.
two other questions:
1. Anybody knows if the conquest offer will come back in May? I was told the $2k off offer for new GLK will end April 30.
2. Where can I get the 5-spoke wheel as shown in benz webpage? It looks much sportier than the default 10-spoke, I am not sure if that wheel is stand alone option or part of the "AMG" package.
Thanks!
Mine had panorama and aluminum trim and that's it. Capped at about $35K.
There are aftermarket wheels for c or e series that fit them too. You can also have the stock ones chromed for about $800. AMG wheels will run a small fortune.
may I know ur GLK options final price before TTL?
thanks!
