The dealer, Keyes Motors, with only a little hesitation, gave a 15% discount because it's a "mb classic" car, meaning it's old (1988 300ce), after we asked for a discount. My son also got a 2010 350clk coupe loaner for two days (he loved it), so the slightly higher cost compared to the indy was well worth it. And I want to acknowledge publicly, since dealerships get trashed often on this forum, that Keyes Motors did right by us. Lesson: To get, one must ask, and do it respectfully and courteously. Hope this helps others.
