Just wondering what you all thought would be fair?

Just picked it up on June 5. Was offered DC 7/85 Maxi Care at $1975..decided to look for better deal. Can someone steer me where to find these better deals mentioned earlier in the forum. Would like to save $600 bucks if everyone is accurate.
Parting comment...damn this is a great car for the $$$
DC is filling sold orders way before the (inventory) ones.
South Florida has a combo of dealers that are willing to not double-dip customers so that they will come back willingly for service and subsequent purchases
Thanks!
Meanwhile, 300Cs are going for anywhere from 500 above invoice to 500 above MSRP.
I think this new car will have to wait.
Unless you drive 10,000 miles or less per year, it will not last near 7 years before you're over the mileage coverage.
The car already has 70,000 miles of powertrain coverage, so this warranty isn't really offering much.
34,000 additional miles of basic warranty coverage for around $1995? Not attractive even at $1295 for so little additional protection.
I think we got a good deal.... now we just have to wait 3-4 months.
Does this sound like a fair or good deal to you?
Thanks.
I ordered in the Bay Area and was given about Invoice +$1000. If you E-mail me I can hook you up with that dealer. Ordered 27 April and received 9 June (w/ sunroof).
Being a member of Costco I went to their web site for the fun of it and asked for a dealer in their network that would sell me a Magnum. They sent me to a dealer that sold me one for $200 over invoice. That was about $2,000 under list.
So if you are a member of Costco, Sam's or BJ's check out their car buying services.
If you wait for the supply to increase you will be able to get a better deal through the warehouse clubs. They have great prices on cars like 4 cylinder Camry LE sedans etc..
The Magnum is not as popular as the 300C.
I bought my fully loaded (read that as, "All options except AWD, which is/was not available.") brilliant black crystal pearl coat 300C through the DaimlerChrysler Affiliate Rewards Program, which specifies 1% below invoice plus a $25 administration fee. There is no sales tax here in New Hampshire. My 1% below invoice price is US$1,388 more than your invoice price. Care to trade invoices? :-)
Thanks for your consideration!

I did the balloon payment 39 months 15K a year with $4,000 down, with the $1,000 chrsyler rebate. They are also eating the last 2 months of my Jeep lease, all in I got it for $525/month. Thoughts? I knocked them down $80/month because of my credit etc. and my strong negitating (at least i like to think). Thanks
Back in 2001 I leased a TL-S with 15K miles per year. That was 1,500 total down, $390 per month for 48 months. The MSRP was $31K, the negotiated sale price was ~$29K. I thought I got a great deal, although Acura's transmission sucks.
You need to check with your employer, there are a lot of companies on the list.
What kind of prices to they have for $0 deductible?
You don't have to buy right away; same price within the first year of ownership plus you can buy from any dealer/any state.
They can say anything when you ask what their cost was.
Statistically, it is a poor value. Having said that, if you have a major breakdown or two, it will pay for itself and maybe save you some money. However, check the parts coverage of the warranty. There are literally thousands of parts included and several hundred excluded in most warranties. And if your included part has broken down because of a malfunctioning excluded part, good luck on your warranty claim!
Bottom line is: I have never purchased an extended warranty for anything -- appliances, electronics or cars and so far I am way above breakeven!
At least I'll sleep a little better plus if I do sell earlier it's a good selling point.
Cars Direct does not list the limited (at least for my zip code.)
