I'm going into Mercedes Greenway on Monday to make a deal on a C300. They have about 60 c-classes on their lot so I'm hoping they are eager to deal.
Palladium Silver
Wood Trim
Ipod
MSRP 36,640
Invoice 34,137
Truecar.com says a great price would be 32,608 - about 1,500 under invoice. What do you think - can I offer 31,500?
First time car buyer so would appreciate any advice!

If I could ask-where did you find a stick shift C300 Sport? I have been looking around my region and have yet to see one. Did your dealer have any more?
Are u in CA?
09 C300 Sport white/black, 7sp, iPod kit. MSRP: $37,450. Got it for $31,995 (14.6% below MSRP). 2.9% financing for 66mo.
This includes a $1000 fleet discount from my employer. Made this deal at the end of June, I used their desperation to offload inventory as serious leverage.
I noticed this on Edmunds, "The 1.9%-2.9% financing includes a 1% dealer reserve (mark-up). Therefore, you may be able to negotiate the rate."
What exactly does this mean? I can negotiate my 2.9% rate?
Kev
Thanks
09 C300 Sport 4matic
package 2
pano
mm
wood trim
MSRP at 44,915
Invoice on truecars.com at 42,231 with those options
Normally it would be $40,481 but because they needed to swap the car over 50 miles they gave me a price of $41380
(this is because its the color and exact package i want -_-)
I get 1000 off because of fleet program
Final price $40380 before tax and doc fees
What do you guys think?
Thanks
Final price
2009 C300 sport 4 matic, premium 1, ipod integration,burl wood trim
Please advise
thanks
Please advise
Thanks
2009 P2 $37k - 1k (fleet program) = $36k
2010 P2 $39.5k - 1.5k (fleet program)= $$38k
P2, MM $42k - 1.5k = $40.5k
i am not too sure these are great deals, especially the 2009 because $37k is already factored in with the 3k MB incentive and I think he didn't subtract much from it. what do you guys think? immediate feedback would be great b/c we want to get one very soon.
White Sports 4matic with P2, Ipod, Wood trim asking $41k.
i told him that another dealer give me $35.5 (instead of $37k) but they didn't have my color. I got a call back by his manager, we could do $35.5. i asked him if he could do better and he said that is a great price. I should have said can you do $35k because the answer is always 'No'. White was still not our choice of color, so just as we were about to call our original dealer to match the price, the manager calls me back says he actually have another in silver but was $700 more. i told $35.5 and we'll take it. got another call back and he congratulated me on a new car. oh, i told him about the fleet and got another $500 (freekin' MB changed it from $1k to $500). So, final price $35k.
I would also like to share my shopping experience because I just got an '09 C300 sport, I also live in SoCal.
Its black/black, 7-speed auto, multimedia package, AMG 18 in wheels, and iPod integration. MSRP was $39,600...i got it for $31,600. I'm not a member of any associations and i did not get fleet rate.
I paid cash for it, so out the door was $35,000. btw, i got it from Walter's Mercedes of Riverside Internet dept.
how did I do?
i mean there is a 3k rebate, you could have gotten probably 4.5-5k off msrp plus the rebate for a total of 8k easily I think. So you weren't too far off, dont stress. Just enjoy ur car.
I did not get any of the premium packages...i didnt feel like i needed those options. Tho i recommend the AMG wheels as a must, because it makes the car look so much better. Unless you're planning on getting aftermarket rims instead.
I got quotes from different dealers through the Internet sales team, that would be your best bet for getting the best price. Use edmunds to send your contact info to different dealers, and they will each send you quotes. Since you're in the orange county area, i saw that Long beach Mercedes were having the best deals, so try them. I don't recommend Fletcher Jones tho, they give you a snooty look if you offer a price they think is too low.
Good luck with car shopping!
Just want to share my experience and hear your thoughts
The dealer is offering C300 - Sport 4Matic Silver with P1 for 33K is that too high?
Thanks
Thanks for sharing, could you please provide the name of the dealer ?
I am also looking for a Sport 4M now.
Thanks
Here's one I got from Manhattan MB, 09 C300 4M, P1, Ipod, sunroof, MSRP 40xxx, he offered me 36500, not sure if it is a good deal.
Just purchased a 2009 300C with ipod integration, multimedia package, 7-speed auto trans retail price $39,600. got it for $29,794. South Orange County. Also, free car wash and 24 hour roadside assitance for as long as I own the car.
Wow! That's a great deal you've got. Can you pls post the name of the dealership and color of the car you bought? If possible pm me the name of the salesperson you were dealing with.
That's what happens when I just couldn't wait anymore and had to buy my car right away. The color combo I wanted was in quite high demand, took a couple dealers to find. Good job for being patient!
btw, free car wash, 24 hour roadside assistance, free shuttle service, and free loaner cars comes with all cars bought from Mercedes dealers. Its their "VIP service" to try to keep you loyal to only their dealer. Which worked for me cuz this is the 3rd car i got from my dealer
How much should I pay ? I heard some lady in California quoted someone $2800
but I need to hear from people that actually paid for this warranty.
I "googled" this topic and read mostly advice such as call here , call there , email
here , I heard this , etc. but hardly any " I paid $???? " , like this is a secret of some kind.....
Had no such problem when reseaching an extended warranty for my Toyota.
wow you guys are getting some amazing deals. I'm in the chicago area, and was wondering if anyone got deals like these over here? I'm getting trouble getting the usual 4-5000 off the sticker let alone 9-10!? If anyone has any advice, it'd be greatly appreciated.
Congrats to all on there new cars!
I called all the dealers in North california to see if they could match your deal but no one was able to. It seems you got the best deal. I finally settled for silver C300 sports with p1, 7 speed automatic and ipod kit. MSRP was 38,480. Got it for 29,480 + tax.
2009 C300 - MSRP 44,460
DEALER #1 Selling Price: $37,244 (Special Money Factor .00237) $9,200 off sticker
DEALER #2 Selling Price: $35,260 (Standard Lease Money Factor .00385) - $9,200 off sticker
2009 C350 - MSRP 46,640
DEALER #2 Selling Price: $36,440 Standard Lease Money Factor .00385) - $10,200 off sticker
The C350 actually costs less then the C300! Unfortunately the Money Factor is quite different - These are all with P1/P2, Multimedia, Panorama Roof, 18" AMG, Ipod and Burl Walnut Trim
- iridium silver exterior (preferably) & dark interior
- 4matic
- heated seats
- SPORT appearance
I see many of you have posted that there's a $4000 incentive for the 09 models. She'd also be interested in a similarly equipped 08 Certified Pre-Owned model, but neither of us know SQUAT about buying used cars or realistic used car pricing. What are some realistic good prices for the new 09 or a used CPO 08? Would something along the lines of $30k AFTER tax be realistic for the 09? THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!
the one i am going with is a C300 with all options
MSRP $44,460 - Final price $35,000 (includes destination/acquisition) - 9,460 off sticker
Lease 36 month 10k miles Base Payment $437.65 Plus Tax $42.67 Total Payment $480.32 Drive Off $2260.22.
If I roll drive off, $558
Thanks
