A dealer will always quote MSRP, their job is to get as much money as they can out of the car. It's your job to negotiate the price down, all dealers have wiggle room or else they wouldn't negotiate to lose money on the deal.
A dealer will always quote MSRP, their job is to get as much money as they can out of the car. It's your job to negotiate the price down, all dealers have wiggle room or else they wouldn't negotiate to lose money on the deal.Anyone have any idea how pricing will work?
Will the car go for exact MSRP? or will the dealers have some wiggle room?
I know the C class can go as low as 4K below MSRP.
This CLA will be a volume car to get people into the brand, however after calling my local dealers, they keep telling me MSRP.
I mean, its not an AMG or anything so I expect at least 1K off.
Tell them you know that they make more money than that. Plus you're negotiating a car that's not in front of you and you're not there in person. When you show up to get your car and start the process everything changes.Yeah, but what do you do when you call 3 dealers in your area and they all refuse to budge off MSRP,. being very dismissive or negotiation? They told me they barely make any money off the car even at MSRP.
I see you're from NY. Im in Nassau County. Any recommendations where to go?because negotiating through the phone is useless.
when you go in and sit down and show commitment to purchasing the car, they'll take you a bit more seriously and will be willing to negotiate.
dont listen to them saying they barely make anything on the car.
i would suggest to wait a few months, then the deals will start coming. I managed to get $6k off of MSRP on a fully loaded C250 last month for my dad....I can get 1k-1.5k off for sure through my uncle's salesman(he already told me) who he bought two 100k vehicles off of. However, through a group buy and fleet sales i could get much more.
I think in Socal even without connections, you can get the cla 250 1k off msrp at least, just due to all the competing dealers nearby.
Wow nice one there, 6K is really good... Wanna come buy my car with me? :wink:i would suggest to wait a few months, then the deals will start coming. I managed to get $6k off of MSRP on a fully loaded C250 last month for my dad....
lol i didnt have to do any deal making, they just gave me the dealWow nice one there, 6K is really good... Wanna come buy my car with me? :wink:
Has BMW said what the price will be on their 2 series coupe? The A3 doesnt interest me so much because it just looks like all the other Audis...Important to leverage bmw and audi as they have been driving me crazy to pull me back as a customer to avoid me buying the cla
I've noticed MB marketing the C250 lease at $349/month a lot here. They're sure trying to move them.lol i didnt have to do any deal making, they just gave me the deal. The C250s are priced to move; but i think even better deals will be had on the CLA once those get into circulation.
The dealer where we bought our car from; half their lot was stacked with C classes, and im guessing the majority of those were C250s. I expect that when the CLA comes, that scene will replay itself with CLAs being stacked wall to wall. For sure the next C class will get a price bump. With regards to the C250 being the lease leader; yeah that makes sense, cause i am seeing them more and more now, on the roads.I've noticed MB marketing the C250 lease at $349/month a lot here. They're sure trying to move them.
You're gonna spec' a CLA (ie. colour, trim, options/packages, accessories) & do a build-order. And when it comes in (presumably this fall), you're gonna then re-negotiate the price? G'luck w/ that & please let us know how it works out!When I ordered mine it was msrp but I've been going back and forth with my salesman over email about the specifics and I figure when the car comes in ill negotiate the payment I want or ill walk out
