White milgauss

Can anyone let me know what sort of discount I should expect on a white face milgauss? My AD offered me 16% without even trying to negotiate. He gave me 15% off my GMTc after starting at 12%. I am think of asking for 25%, but will settle for 20%. Am I being too greedy? I did just buy the gmt in August. Anyone else have experience with the Milgauss?

I think you should give it a try, and bet you'll do well if they started at 16%. Your desire to pay less on a very expensive luxury good is not being greedy. Good luck.

I think greater than 20% is what u should go for. I wouldn't buy at less than 20%.

Agreed 20 is very doable and on this model I would shoot for 25... It certainly cannot hurt to ask but I do not see this as a big seller. My AD who is a very small AD always has one of each Milgauss in stock

I think you could ask 20%, that's fair enough. The white Mil is not desireable, so try 25%.

Are people really getting 25% off of SS? If thats true I might just pick up a white to keep my GV company.
