Understanding the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is your starting point when exploring the Mercedes-Benz lineup at any Ontario Mercedes Dealership. It’s crucial to recognize that the national MSRP serves primarily as a guide for informational purposes and doesn’t represent the final price you’ll pay. Several additional costs are not included in the MSRP, and these can vary depending on your location and the specific dealership you choose in Ontario.
Freight and PDI (Pre-Delivery Inspection), which can add up to $3,995, are common fees not reflected in the MSRP. Similarly, surcharges for air conditioning ($100) and tires (up to $35) will be additional. Dealer administration charges, potentially reaching $695, along with mandatory fees like the OMVIC fee ($12.50) and AMVIC fee ($10), further contribute to the final price. Don’t forget to factor in taxes and, where applicable, the federal Luxury Tax surcharge for vehicles priced above $100,000. These taxes and fees can fluctuate by region and even between different Mercedes-Benz dealerships within Ontario.
For vehicles subject to the federal Luxury Tax, it’s important to understand how this is calculated. Your Ontario Mercedes dealership will determine the exact surcharge based on the pre-tax negotiated selling price. The Luxury Tax will be the lesser of 10% of the negotiated selling price or 20% of the amount exceeding the $100,000 threshold. For comprehensive details on the Luxury Tax, consulting your dealer or the Government of Canada’s website is advisable.
Beyond these fees and taxes, remember that license, insurance, registration, and specific tire duties (like in Quebec) are also extra costs. The initial selling price also excludes any optional extras, services, or add-ons that your chosen Ontario Mercedes dealership might offer. Leasing or financing your Mercedes-Benz can introduce further fees, such as lien registration and third-party agent fees (up to $130), which can vary based on region, lease/finance terms, and contract duration.
Ultimately, the final purchase price of your Mercedes-Benz is subject to change and can differ based on factors such as the specific Ontario dealer, your location, current inventory levels, vehicle features, and any available discounts or rebates. Mercedes-Benz dealerships in Ontario have the discretion to sell for less than the MSRP. To get the most accurate and up-to-date pricing and availability information, it’s always best to directly contact your local Ontario Mercedes-Benz dealer.
It’s also worth noting that performance figures like acceleration rates are estimates based on manufacturer track results. Real-world acceleration can vary due to factors like model, environmental conditions, road surface, driving style, elevation, and vehicle load. Similarly, for electric Mercedes-Benz models, the estimated driving range is determined using Natural Resources Canada (NRCAN) guidelines with a fully charged battery. Actual range can differ significantly depending on various factors including vehicle specifications, driving habits, weather, and battery condition. These figures are for informational and comparison purposes only, and consulting resources like the Government of Canada’s EnerGuide is recommended for more detailed information.
