    Not sure if this is the right board but didn't see where I should post this. I also posted on the lease board. I am looking to buy a 2015 C350. MSRP is $54,345. Just going to pay cash. Wondering what price I should expect. They are quoting $50,000 plus $150 doc fee and $400 license and title. Plus tax of course. The Edmunds build and price tool says invoice is about $50,500 but it says "true market value" is $48,000.00. If I need to post this elsewhere please let me know and thanks for your help.

    The best advice I've found, for those looking to buy a car outright in cash...

    First, check your nearby dealerships stock. Hopefully they have a car on the lot, as that way you'll get the best deal.

    Next, send an email to the fleet manager at those dealerships near you with the VIN of the car you're looking for, saying that you are looking to pay full in cash for a 2015 C350.

    Then, have each dealer submit to you their absolute best offer for the car you're looking for. Because they're the fleet manager, they're focused on selling larger numbers, and you paying for the car in full is a quick, easy way to get the car off the lot. So they don't need to pad it the way that a salesman would.

    That should work. Lots of "internet" salespeople and "fleet managers" really are just salespeople so sometimes it's a bit of the luck of the draw whether the person you contact really does fleet sales.

    Dealers make money putting loan packages together - they essentially get a kickback from the lender. So sometimes you'll get a better deal financing than with an all cash deal. Some people will "change their mind" at the last minute and decide to pay cash. Some dealers won't honor the price when that happens. Others will finance and then pay the loan off early.

    @rob34, since TMV is an average, maybe you should widen your search and ask for some quotes from dealers around you. It may be worth it to travel a bit; if nothing else you'll have some more ammo for asking your local dealer to give you a better price.

    Hi all:

    Don't have any experience with the C-Class, but I was quoted $25,500 OTD for a 2013 C250 Sport (Certified Pre-Owned) with just over 19K miles on it. Seems like a decent deal, but I'm not sure. Thoughts?

    Thanks in advance!
