One dealer was 1.5%, four others MSRP.

Anyone found a dealer doing more?

Pre-covid could get much much larger discounts.

I ordered in June and got 7% off MRSP. Depending on your location, consider going through a broker, if the dealers won’t budge.

Second this. You can order 540s through brokers for ~10% off msrp before incentives. You or dealer can arrange shipping if needed.

The problem is I have a trade and will get sales tax credit. I figure 5% discount equals the 10% off with a broker.

Prior to covid easily got 7-9% at local dealer. Not any more. They seem to think there is still a car shortage.

You can trade in a car with the brokers dealer too and get the same tax credit. Just view broker as an introducing agent. Once you pay their broker fee you basically are connected to their dealer at the agreed upon discount. From there is the same old car leasing / purchasing process.

Maybe the brokers dealer will give you a little less than your dealer. Won’t know until you ask,, but I can pretty much guarantee if you’re dealer is 1% off - the combined deal with broker including your trade in will still be multiple thousands better. I mean they have about 7k head start..

Are you in Washington state? I'll admit that makes it harder, but not impossible. It's such an isolated market that dealerships there think they are gold. I've had a lot of clients over the years ship cars there because they still save a ton of money, even after shipping across the country.

All that being said, 540s are a little scarce due to a cut in production. I've seen waiting lists at some dealerships. We are discounting them about 6% right now though. 10% isn't happening on a 540 these days.
