total msrp: $41,770
Drove it, liked it..after 20 minutes of invested time, told the salesman that I wasn't interested unless I could get it for the type of price that I had seen others had received at Laguna Mercedes and Anaheim Mercedes. I told him I wanted $9500 off msrp. He said he would go check and was gone all of 5 minutes before returning with $9000 off for a total of $32,770 + tax etc. Can not get 2.9 financing with this, but I am using credit union, where I get some discounts on points. I have a feeling that I could have worked them down some more, but this was all of 30 minutes and totally painless. FYI- they also showed me the "invoice" from the back (if you believe those things are the "invoice") and it showed $38,995 as their purchase price for the vehicle. With a $4000 +$5000 from Mercedes, they aren't really having to deal anything off of their profit margin. It looks like a better deal for them too!
Good luck!
In BMW if you accelerate and drop your pedal - the car will continue to go fast - like any other car, but then your foot is in the air. In the Mercedes - you need to keep your foot on the pedal. You can use the accelerator pedal to go faster or slower - just by applying more or less pressure to the pedal - the same like in Formula 1. If you need to accelerate - just put pressure and hold - DO NOT release, as most people are used to dropping the pedal after a few seconds. If you want full throttle acceleration (For example to pass another car) - DON"T BE AFRAID TO FLOOR IT completely to the floor and HOLD IT - don't drop. In the few seconds every BMW will be behind you. Try it yourself. Once you get used to Mercedes driving you will not be able go back to any other car.
Invoice of the car with MSRP $41,770 is exactly $39,507. You can see it for yourself here mercedes-benz invoice calculator, just enter "0" in the gas guzzler tax, because C-class does not have it. So the difference is $488 he showed you some BS charges. That's why he gave you $9,000 off instead of $9,500. But anyway the deal is excellent. 2 years from now your car may be worth the same what you paid for a brand new one!
Hope it helps.
Thanks for the info about the acceleration....I will test drive again and make sure that I am not dropping the pedal. I think I've over done looking at these blogs now b/c I was looking at the consumer reviews and the things people have problems with start to freak me out! One person complained about the paint on the c300 not holding up.....that worries me a little but I try to keep it in perspective.. Wish me luck!
Mercedes-Benz paint is "Top of the line" and it has protection on a molecular level. One of my cars is 1992 300E - snow white, with 187,000 miles. The original paint is in showroom condition.
Wish you luck.
Thanks to this Forum:)
msrp 38,995
price paid 35,015 (a tad over 10% off msrp)
1.9% financing for 66 months through Mercedes
They pay my first 2 payments (advertised on their website for winter event) which took off $1234 extra.
So... 2010 with msrp of $38,995 costs me $39,488 total with financing charges
2009 with msrp of $41,770 and $10,000 discount but 5.75% financing (couldn't find 3.99% like I had hoped) for 72 months $42,120 total with financing charges.
$2632 cheaper for 2010 but $2775 less of options on 2010 model $143 effective difference on 1 year newer car. By the way...they had a 2010 with same options as 2009 for almost identical msrp but I didn't really need some of those options. You were very limited in the packages you could choose with color combos due to there being few 2009's available. But I could have done the 2010 with $41,770 msrp for only $400 more than the 2009!
If I was paying cash then the 2009 was a definite better buy...but financing muddies the waters!!! All in all...I still think it's a good deal for a 2010!
and how is this deal?

I'm trying to negotiate this deal down to about 33000. is that reasonable? or am i kidding myself?
A little bummed right now..just got back from the car wash and only my 3rd day with the car and the nav and ipod are acting up. The curser is jumping around and flashing the different names and won't respond to the nav wheel next to the cup holders. Hopefully they can fix and it's just a fluke:(
I contacted the Anaheim dealership you listed and they said they haven't had a c300 09' in months!
Here's the dealership addy info:
Mercedes-Benz of Anaheim
200 North Via Cortez
Anaheim Hills, CA 92807
Is this the correct one?
i just bought an ML350 on monday and have a great salesperson to recommend.
:shades:
I'm now dealing with Anaheim. They actually remembered your deal and say they're willing to repeat it. Did they really give you the comp room to the Wynn Hotel in Vegas?
What options did you get?
Hope it helps.
Thanks for the info -scgirl1-.

any tips to avoid dealer scamming me once i actually go to the dealer?
any deals i should know about?
Can i still ask for more? like make them add rear spoiler or something?
How is the warranty? what does it cover? where can i get more information on warranty?
What should i get once i paid the $5000 walk off from the dealer?
I know it's a long question, but it's going to be my first new car. I've driven used car my entire life, don't know anything.
Thanks

This is supposedly an aggressive year-end deal to move the cars off the lot. How does this deal fare as far as year end clearance goes?
I will be shopping for a 2010 C class in Feb or March. I live in Westchester county (NY). Who gave you8 a good price/sales experience?
thanks
Thanks
Please help!
Original warranty is 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. So you will have 2 years/26k miles left. However, if this car is MB Certified - then you'll have 3 years/76k miles left. + certified means the car is extra clean and has clean history.
You can research prices on Certified pre-owned Benz anywhere in USA here: Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned anywhere in USA - so you can have an idea of pricing. Just wait a few seconds until it loads.
Try to offer $1,500 below invoice and see what happens. Try more than 1 Dealership...
To make your life easier - negotiate bottom line: How much is total amount out of pocket $, and how much is total monthly payment $ - all inclusive. This way you don't end up negotiating taxes, DMV and bank fees, and any other fees separately from the deal.
