hope that helps
Mike.
Thanks a lot!
I bought the car from MB of Houston North.
Thanks,
Mike
Thank you very much for your response!

Thanks for the excellent advice. Were you able to get a lower than the dealer's asking price?
Regards,
Paul
The prices on new car warranties from MB are up over 100% since my last purchase. After thirty days there is a 15% surcharge on the new car warranties.
Make sure you are receiving an MB Warranty after for a copy. Make sure your quote is in writing. I asked a dealer back East for a quote on a 7 year 100,000 miles warranty. The price was a couple hundred less than my best quote. You can see what the contract looks like below. Make sure all entries are entered. There was no expiration on my warranty and it showed five years rather than seven years. The original warranty of four years plus the years purchased.
I got a quote from a MB dealer for a 7 years 100,000 mile warranty for about $3,800.00. I received the warranty about two weeks later and it was for one year. I did get a full refund after contacting MBUSA.
AGREEMENT TYPE/TERM**
THE WARRANTY SHOULD HAVE READ 7 YR 100,000 MILES
AGREEMENT END DATE***
WAS LEFT BLANK
The warranty read 5 YR 100,000 Mile Purchase Price $4,341.25
This is a one year extension to the original warranty. I questioned the terms after I received the warranty in the mail about two weeks later. I was informed that I asked for a one extension of the original warranty was left blank on the warranty.
2009 C300 4 Matic
Premium 1 package
I-pod intergration
Burl Walnut
Metalic paint
Invoice is $37,848
offered $36,504
Is this a good deal? I have not negotiated because with the Costco program they are giving thier best price upfront. Thanks for any advice.
Thanks a lot for the warranty info. I appreciate it!

I am shopping around for a fully loaded C350 (P2, multimedia, panorama roof, ipod, and 18’’ AMG wheels.) The best quote I received over the phone is around $41900, about $1500 below invoice and I feel I can do a bit better when doing the actual face to face negotiation.
According to you, the Costco quote for your C300 is $1344 below invoice. Although I do not have any experience shopping for the 2009 C300, I think perhaps you can try to offer a few hundred $ less.
Good luck!
I am not seeing any incentives or rebates for this car. I know there must be a ton of them because these dealers are not selling this car under invoice without some compensation from Mercedes. Are any of you aware of the rebates that Mercedes is offering the dealers to move cars?
Thanks.
There is “Dealer holdback.” Quote from Edmunds.com:
“Dealer holdback is a percentage of either the MSRP or invoice price of a new vehicle (depending on the manufacturer) that is repaid to the dealer by the manufacturer.”
Edmunds.com informs us that the MB dealer holdback is 3% of the total MSRP (including all options.) If the MSRP is $35000, 3% of $35000=$1050.
I am sure there are other compensations to the dealers such as volume discounts to allow them selling cars below “invoice” and still make a profit.
Anyone in the NOVA/DC area purchased a 2009 C300 Sport + Pkg1 + Multimedia. How much did you pay for it?
If I'm given a quotation, how low you think I can go? $1500? $2000? off MSRP? or Invoice? Given times are tough, I hope to get a good deal. Please help! Thanks in advance.
Given the economy I am wondering if MB will start offering incentives lowering the price further. Wait ... not ... wait ... not ... still trying to make up my mind :-)
Thanks! :shades:

It’s easy! Start by getting a control number:
Go to www.fleet.mbusa.com/fep.
Enter your first and last name, home city, state, zip code, e-mail address and Corporate Account Number (CAN): 006101
Click “submit” and print the FEP Incentive Form that is generated with your name, CAN, control number and company name.
Next, go to your local Mercedes-Benz dealership.
Select a vehicle.
Negotiate your best price.
Present the dealer with your FEP Incentive Form and proof of employment.

c300 4matic Sport
P1 package + Metallic Paint + iPod Kit
27 months, 15k miles/year
Residual 65%, MF .0025
MSRP 39500, Sale 34400+Tax+Title
1st payment $571, monthly $571.
I had the option of taking 12k miles/year with 67% Residual, coming out to be $543 monthly with $543 1st payment. But for $750 more I was getting 7300 miles, which is 10 cents/mile. Purchasing later would be 20 cents/ miles. Thought would go with peace of mind.
Thanks!
I am looking at some C350 Year 2008, I saw one with P2, multimedia at 40k, do you think I can get it at 32k OTD ? I am seeing a couple of 6k off MSRP on 2009 models on this page so for me it would be 10k off MSRP. Am I dreaming ? I will pull the trigger on a new car probably end of january, so if there is still some 2008 out there it could be realistic ?
Thanks
Where is the TRUTH??? I have waisted several days driving from store to store with not even being close to what is posted here.
Good luck to those that are in the market but beware of the B.S. listed below!!!
