I just placed my order for the 45.

My dealer is charging me $2370 for this package, while in the order guide (both 1.0 and 1.1), it said $2300.

I know its only $70, but I still want to confirm with guys.

Yeah. The price increase was 2-3 months ago, I think. The price increase was reflected in my order invoice that the dealer gave me about 1.5 months ago.

I was also quoted the $2370 price in my CLA45 order.

I have 2200 on my invoice for P1 package.

My Purchase order shows:

P01 $2200
MM $2370
Sport Package $2000

There is a disclaimer at the bottom said the price is subject to change. I hope they don't raise the price when I take delivery.

I just received an updated PO from my dealer. It now shows:

P01 $2300 ($100 increase)
Sport Package $2200 ($200 increase)
MM $2370


I don't know whether it's negotiable, as it clearly says price is subject to change in the PO. Very disappointing.

This is the reply from my salesperson. What a relief!

"When ordering a car, especially a newly introduced line, it is subject to price changes. I did go talk to my manager, and because we do appreciate your business and strive for the perfect car buying experionce we will honer the origonal MSRP price. I'm glad you brought the price change up and that we could work with you."

Good on them. And good for you. That is the right thing to do. They will always make up that money on someone or somewhere else.

You still got screwed because you could originally get some discount off the MSRP. Well that discount is now covering the price increases.
To be fair. Mercedes has always maintained the order guide prices are just preliminary. They never released the guide officially to the public. We, on the forum, has found the guide meant perhaps for dealers.

Ya see I didn't see that he paid MSRP. So it goes to what I said, while it is a good gesture on their part, they are not losing money by doing it. They are making it up on someone or somewhere (MSRP) else.

Not really. The price was already negotiated before this. $500 off MSRP. So it's now $800 off. Not a huge discount but it's better than nothing.
