So I ordered on Thursday. I swear I saw the illuminated door sills on the website but they're no longer there and not in the configuration options at the dealer. I did add the Mountain Gray paint and tried to get them to do $500 but the furthest they would budge was $670 dealer cost.Wow that would be an awesome deal if all you have to pay on top of that is tag and tax. I have a feeling when you goes in to sign that paper they gonna say BTW there is a $800 dealer fee and $300 for documents fee.
@hnguy4 that's still not too bad, some people do not negotiate at all so feel good you got something offSo I ordered on Thursday.

Total MSRP $36,075..agreed on $34,170 = $1905 off MSRP. There is no $800 dealer fee but there are the standard documentation and title fees of about $300.
I'd be all over that too, but I'm in Chicago. How'd you figure dealers in your area would do group buys, just went around and asked a few? I wonder if other geographical areas would be willing to do the same.If you are around the San Francisco area, our N.Calif group buy got more that 6% off MSRP(pre-tax) for next year delivery. If you want to join us, pm me your name and contact phone number.
But we got the deal. Just post your idea in your area and see what happens. You wont know till you try. Good luck!
Yeah, there are places where you can tell someone what you're looking for and they'll find it and negotiate a better price. They're like travel agents. But usually they're going to strike out on a popular car. It's usually cars that have a relatively large supply compared to the demand. Some of those guys I've heard can knock up to 15% off a new current year vehicle, but not on anything desirable. And yeah, they do all the paperwork for you too so they just drop off the car at your driveway and bring the papers labelled for you to sign. You never see anyone from the dealers. I might do that in the future when I look at a regular C or E class since I already get 2500-3500 off on those models anyways. See how much I can shave off and then drop another couple grand.Hi,
I don't think you can negotiate anything like $5k off a new MBZ product. The best I've seen so far is this place where you build your car online and ultimately they delivery the car to your front door step, The Lease Outlet | Lease a BMW: 328i $306 Mo | Porsche 911 $811 Mo | Mercedes C250 $241 Mo | E350 $375 Mo

I think they were desperate 2 days before new years even though only 1-2 cars on lot. Dead quiet dealer in Glendale CA.
Approx 12.5%. I was quite surprised too. No trade in, purchased, not leased and used their financing but switched it to my own the next day.
I just put a down payment on a 2014 CLA Cirrus White, Sahara Beige MB-TEX,premium package,Sport Package,Rear deck spoiler,Becker map pilot prewire,Bi-Xeon Headlamps/taillights,Total for 36,675 as configured thru MB web site and dealers did the same.
I came in armed with my homework, had dealer invoicing, told them I knew about 3% dealer holdback, Told them I knew their dealer to salespersons incentives for pushing units to get the end of moth bonus, and I told them that I already went and looked at another dealer that offered me $500 off.
I said if you want to sell a car now its on my terms, I understand you have to eat but I should not feel ripped off because you are greedy. I was stern and controlled the conversation.
Bottom line: original invoice of 36,675 and I offered him 35,000 out the door and told him to please don't waist my time with a counteroffer this is my 1 and only offer. He shook his head and he was gone for 10 minutes and when he came back, he put out his hand and said Congratulations! you got a deal.
35,000 out the door, dropped 1,000 down, He pulled a car from pre-production to customize it for me and I expect delivery Nov 15th.
Key notes: I went in on Columbus Day right @lunch time, it was slow. I also am in the military active duty and have USAA as my bank that is offering me $500 incentive to use car buying service thru them and secured financing for 1.49% of a pre-aproved 40,000 loan. So between the 500 originally offered from dealer, and the 500 from my bank that was 1,000. So I was able to wiggle another 675.00 and I am not only getting my free key chain. Since I purchased the sport package with stock summer tires, he is willing to swap, mount, balance and install my new all season tires i purchased from Tire rack for free when the car comes in and I will either sell or save the summer tires for later use. One last thing, I also negotiated the illuminated Stars installation for free when the car comes in. just have to pay for the Star 480.00. and I also already got the Becker Map pitot for 275.00 NIB from e-bay not 600 that the dealer wants.
Funny part is that now end of month is coming soon and the first dealer called me the same afternoon to inquire if I still wanted the car, and I told him your a day late and and 1175.00 too late. I already made a deal in another dealership
Do your homework, don't get emotional over the car they feed off you wanting it so badly, definitely have your poker face, and control the conversation. you WILL get a better deal.
Hope this post helps others.
Just the type of ammo I was hoping to find on this forum. Keep em coming!The stars were aligned and I got a msrp of 38895 down to 34000.

Can you order me one up and I will pay ya back?Guys there is 6% mark up from dealer invoice to MSRP and most dealerships are going to be someone in the middle of that for good clients. The supply and demand is still very high on the CLA
If you are stating that you recieved 12.5% off of MSRP, that would be next to impossible. Employee pricing is 12.25% of MSRP and is only available for Mercedes Certified employees.
