What are you doing to get $11k? Also, are you sure those quotes are legit? Some shadier dealerships like to give out low quotes to get the person in the door.
MSRP: $59,200.00
Cash Price: $47,370.00
Guy, are you for real or just throwing around misinformation?
I don't care if you believe me or not. All of the information shared by me is completely accurate and in writing from the various dealers.
E 250 Diesels 2014 are also being discounted over $10K. Call Dez at MB of Long Beach for a quote. His quote for the E250 D is also in writing.
Each person has a different level of negotiating ability, and each and every dealer has different discount policies that they follow. So, my experience and price quotes may be very different from yours. If you call the dealers that I contacted and ask for the pricing that I received, (on a purchase not a lease), the pricing should be the same.
also on a side note: for certain profession, you might want to check with your employer/HR dept, there are corporate fleet discount which you can get thru your company website which allows you to get an MBUSA fleet voucher with one time use control number to be presented at point of purchase/lease for additional discount.
I just want to thank you for all the time and effort for the info you provided here
Do those prices include a USAA discount or something similar or could I use USAA on top of those prices?
Also, do you know if the USAA discount can be used as my drive off fees in place of cash?
Thank you again in advance.
likes the E350 but I love the new 2014 CLA 250 too. The MSRP is about 40,000. On this one,
hou much d/c do you think I can get? lol.. Thanks again
I would read the reviews, sight lines are not good, rough ride and a few other negatives.
I had a new E 320 Cab many years ago and got rid of it after 6 months because it was impossible to see out of the back window. It was really annoying.
I would drive it and see if these issues bother you.
I currently have a MBFS lease, if loyalty factors in.
Thanks
From our area dealer.
Is this a good buy??

The offer sounds pretty fair. I like the configuration of your car as it has a lot of additional options. May I ask where and who you dealt with?? My target at this point is between 10k-11k off an E250. I'm not sure if we will see significantly better deals in the next couple of months but that is only a guess.
Enjoy your new car!
2014 E 350 4matic luxury

MSRP $65455.00
Cash price $56.500
This car would have to be ordered. Not sure how much better I can do,I do not plan on ordering until November.
Just shows how an hour drive outside of Greenwich CT. can save you money.
PS This is with a USSA discount.
A dealer in California could drive the car across the state line, and deliver... avoiding the state tax, but I could see why they wouldn't want to bother.. It could be that dealer's policy to not sell to out-of-state customers, because of those issues.

As I live near a border, I buy almost every new car across state lines.. but, those states don't have CA sales tax rules... I can see how the dealer would have a policy of not selling out of state..

MSRP 58700
Invoice 55308
Price 48008 plus tax and license
Its close to my ideal configuration but I like the look of the new headlights with the lighting package so I may sit tight until I can find a closer match. Thanks to pingpong30 and others for posting their contacts.
Can you confirm if this quote is for a purchase, or lease? Seems that the offers for purchase have been more aggressive from dealers.
I am in the Bay Area looking at leasing a gas E350.
Thanks for the info!
I am a little skeptical about PL from Encino. I live about 100 miles from his dealership and I received this response when we started to talk about prices. Unless you have something in writing, I would be cautious with this dealership.
"You are outside of our selling area and the dealership is not interested in selling you the car! Fyi"
My only concern is,he could not quote me the final sales price until the car is at the dealership. Best case scenario, the car arrives in Dec and I get a great winter event price. FYI- F.Jones was also willing to sell out of area.
DD is a great gent to deal with, though not sure why he quoted me a number which is higher than the rest here. he does not have the car i want as well. ordering is good, but he cannot give any "final bona fide pricing", as no one know what the next month incentive will be, esp MF and residual. worst case is you do not get the car and walk away.
Nov and Dec are the biggest car season for the dealers, and car maker, they will do almost anything to push yr end target goal. I might have to order the car as well. just found out my employer has another deal with MB, so i obtained a control number thru MB to get more discount.
lastly, i would not go to FJ at newport as the guy would not tell me anything over the email, and i have to "come down to get the best deal"..lol, the guy is still trying to sell a car like he lives in the past century..lol
1.) DD in LB - Very quick responses and seems honest. If I were to order a vehicle (as opposed to current inventory) I would go through him as he seems honest about passing on any extra savings.
2.) PL in Encino - As discussed, does not seem very honest with his responses. I did call him out on being unwilling to sell to me since he mentioned I live "out of area." Here was his response: "Alright. What would you like me to do? This is not a deal for me. (No profit) fyi"
3.) ER and JS at FJ in Newport - I don't feel that I will get the same type of deal from these guys. They seem to have the largest inventory so in Nov/Dec they may be more willing to offer better deals. I don't think they would pass on the same savings like DD on a factory build.
4.) MD at Silver Star in TO - Much like DD, very honest and quick with responses. She also provided the biggest discount at 11k (but I think she was trying to beat DD). She actually gave me the 11k off MSRP price on a car headed her way in November so I suspect she may know that the incentive is the same for Nov??
Hope this helps some of you out there.
I was always under the impression that a factory build would negate any huge savings however from talking to DD in LB and MD in TO I believe the incentives will be similar in Nov/Dec and they seem to be wiling to offer the same ballpark discounts.
Good luck negotiating....
Your post is very helpful. I am also in SoCal and am looking to buy a 2014 E350 sedan before year-end. Is the 11k off MSRP for any of their in-stock vehicles? I'm looking for one around the 58k-60k mark, not the higher optioned vehicles. Thanks again for posting your information.
Johnny
the $11k off is for purchase/finance as there is $2k more incentive
plus, one should look at % off, rather than straight dollar. to get 11k off on a $58500 car is GREAT. but on a $60+ msrp car one should aim for similar % discount.
Now if I can find a few people in the NYC area who want to purchase in late November maybe we could get more % off!
Johny529 - If you are looking to purchase an E350 in that 58-60k range, I would recommend checking cars.com or the individual dealer websites to look through their inventory. There are 3000 E350s in SoCal so odds are you will find a configuration you like at multiple dealerships in that range. Then, I would check dealerrater.com to find sales staff who are highly rated (like DD in LB or MD in TO). Personally, I like to work with the internet staff that way a final price is negotiated in advance without any face to face haggling. I would wait until the last week of the month to negotiate as they will be more inclined to deal at that time.
If you are looking for options that are not common (like illuminated door sills for example) then you can probably start your search now since you are purchasing a factory build which can takes week to deliver and your final price is based on incentives for that specific time when its delivered to the dealership.
Thanks

My deal is invoice-$2000-any incentives when car arrive
For a car he can get from inventory its invoice-$7200.
