Is it possible. Please advice
I recently did a similar deal on a c300 4matic luxury with premium 1, grill conversion, and ipod adapter.
MSRP: $41,020
Due at signing: $1732
Monthly payment $450 ($461 with MB maintenance)
Hope you enjoy it. That is the most important part. I sure will!
Now you can easily get 20% discount or more, depending on equipment. I can give dealership and managers name who is discounting more than 20% off MSRP in Southern California. If anyone is interested e-mail me at igb10@yahoo.com.
Thanks storm10, but I don't live n Southern California.
You can easily get 20% or more discount if you lease or buy - does not matter. The only thing you have to pay is shipping charge from So Cal.

What would be a good deal for the options like this?
They also used a very high money factor of 0.00285, allegedly because of $4100 dealer discount.

sounds like a deal? anyone? can I ask for maintenance to be included with this price? or is it too much to ask?
When you say out the door, it's hard for anyone to tell what the actual selling price is.
please, check you e-mail. thank you
I have a questions, can I buy a "new" car with a few hundred miles on it? The dealer said his son drove it for a couple of days. Could this be a problem?
Almost all cars will have some miles on them. This varies by make, but 5 to 50 miles are not uncommon.
I'm new to car buying...driven lemons most of my life...buying my first nice car. Looking for a 2010 C300 sport sedan. I've been doing a little back and forth negotiating with various dealers and today was quoted a selling price that comes to 24.5% off MSRP. The car has the features I want and the only drawback is that the dealership is located an hour and a half away.
What do you guys think? Can I do better or should I be satisfied with this?
From what I've seen people on this forum say, it seems that anything more than 20% off MSRP is pretty good. Anyone have any luck getting even more than 25% off MSRP?
Do you really know the difference between Luxury and Sport edition?
Here is the most meticulous and detailed comparison between 2 models: Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sport sedan vs. Luxury sedan. It completely covers the evolution of the modern C-Class. Side by side illustrated comparison and complete breakdown of all cons and pros of each model.
Most surprising to me was: these 2 models have actually different engines and 1 of them has ability to use other than gasoline fuel ! Must-read to anyone who considers new C-Class!
Thanks so much for your information, I finally drove home with my new C300 last night. The final selling price was 25.6% off MSRP. I'm pretty happy about it.
And the car is so sexy. lol.
Congrats. What dealership was it? What was the MSRP please?
Thank You,
MSRP was $43,965
you are the man. Was the car made in Germany or South Africa?
I forgot to check that. but I think it was made in South Africa. I hardly see any Germany-made cars unless it was an EU delivery.

Any idea where this deal was available as my local dealer has quoted around 17-18% off.
Does anyone have any idea how to search the national MB inventory database as there doesn't seem to be a link on MBusa's website?
Of note is that a C350 only actually costs $2K more than a similar C300 due to the fact that the C350 comes with equipment standard that you pay a couple of thousand extra for on the C300. Also the incentives are larger on the C350, so IMO, it's worth the extra 2K or so.
Basically get a C350 with real leather seats and wood trim and no other options. Total invoice for that would be $39,992 minus $4500 in factory to dealer incentives. Figure $36K with some profit for the dealer in the mix. A similar C300 Sport with automatic is $38,095 minus $4200 in incentives. I guarantee you'll not miss the 1mpg difference. But the extra power and resale value will more than compensate for such a small difference.
From what i understood the great lease deals are only on the C300s and not the C350s - or am I mistaken?
Can I get the $4-4.5K incentive AND 10-15% off MSRP with the C350 as well???
Your figures are based only on the cash incentive and don't take into account any additional discount off MSRP.
I guess what I'm saying is if it's possible to get the 20-25% (all inclusive) discount on a C350 as well? :confuse:
Does the C350 come standard with Nav and rearview camera?
My local dealer only has C300s in stock - no C350s.
But to be honest, 90%+ will charge MSRP minus $4500 and not budge one penny because they're greedy. Deals like you see posted here are often the rare exception than the rule.
Yes, I went online and found the actual invoice prices. You can work from there - add $300-$500 as a typical profit amount. The C350 Sport comes standard with automatic and luxury package 1, unlike the base C300 Sport. So it's a smaller difference than it first appears to be.
But you have to get it with almost no options at all or else the packages will literally eat you alive. Mercedes Nav is a joke, btw, as is their multimedia interface(useless to control your iPod unlike an Acura TSX. Their leather is actually hardly any better than the MB Tex(massive step down from the real full-grain leather in the S class), and the rear-view camera isn't needed as long as you have the rear spoiler(it gives you a perfect idea where the rear end is when parking)
Just get the wood trim, rear spoiler, and pretty much nothing else. LED lights and other idiocy isn't worth the silly prices. But as it is, the basic C350 Sport is a fine car that nothing GM or Japan makes the likes of. It hits that nice sweet spot that Volvo used to occupy 10-15 years ago. A bit luxurious, yet with a proper refined ride at the same time. A great small highway cruiser and decent family vehicle all in one(new Volvos somehow lost that magic...)
I'm going to the delaer tomorrow. Let's see what they quote !
two years later I still get a smile each morning as I jump in and fire it up. :shades:
I did like the other suggestion here about looking at C350s as well. If one can get a comparably equipped 350 for not much more than a 300, why not?
Just wondering if anyone could give me some insight as to whether this is a good deal or not:
2011 C300 W4
Premium 1 package
Burl Walnut Wood Trim
Heated Front Seats
MSRP: 41,140
Here are the leasing options they sent me:
36 Month lease with 10,000 per year @$498.58 per month with $1777.23 at inception
42 Month lease with 10,000 per year @$475.05 per month with $1753.70 at inception
48 Month lease with 10,000 per year @445.55 per month with $1724.20 at inception
I am wondering if I should shop the other MB dealership which has 2010 C300's on the lot to see if they can really beat these prices.
Can anyone offer some insight?
Thanks.
Mercedes-Benz Financial just came out with very attractive 27 month leases on 2011 C-Class models - very high residual value!
You can view all the new September programs here: September 2010, Current Mercedes-Benz Lease and Finance Specials. If you are looking to buy, then you still get more saving on remaining 2010 models...if you can still find any...
36 months: 19726.11
42 months: 21705.80
48 months: 23111.06
You are far better off buying it and obtaining their low financing rates. You'll have higher payments, but will have no mileage or wear penalty at the end as well as be able to sell it after 4 or 5 years to regain 15K or so. Or keep it if you desire. I get about $490 a month for 48 months considering this(or less depending upon how much you can sell the car for, of course)
The end result is about the same cost. I just don't like contracts, fine print, and the miserably low 10K a year mileage limitation. That alone can cost you another couple of thousand dollars if you drive even 12-15K a year.
Note - the reason it's a wash, more or less, is because of the $4500 in factory to dealer incentives on 2010 models. This drops the price, combined with the financing(you should qualify if you do for their lease), to quite reasonable rates. I've seen cars like the one you are interested in for about $36K. Leases are always based upon MSRP, so that's a large factor in favor of buying at the end of the model year versus leasing.
The trick, of course, is finding any. Expect nearly all of them to be gone in the next couple of weeks.
Enjoy the forum. Thanks for everyone's good discussions.
First offer on 2010 C300 Sport 4matic. Looking at other offers, have some room to go down, but what is reasonable to push for? Anything else to request, maintenance?

First of all I am not sure I am getting a good deal and this one does not have P1 thus not 100% sold on it.
