I currently own 2000 Audi TT, and I've had a difficult time with this car so far. I am tired of taking it to the service besides for the regular check-up, and I have decided to get C230 Kompressor Sedan.
I live in Chicago, and there are quite a number of MB dealers around the area. I am planning to purchase a car within 2~3 weeks. I am going to trade-in my Audi and make a downpayment (Approx. $15,000) to cover a major portion of the take-out price.
Although I do not have strong preference in colors, I prefer silver/ash leather.
In addition, I would like to select the following options, if possible; these selections are negotiable: (The following order is ranked according to the preference, strongest to weakest.)
1) Entertainment Package (6CD's; Not particularly interested in upgraded sound system)
2) Sunroof Package
3) Heated Front Seats
4) Lighting Package
5) Power Dr Seat/Steering Col w/ Memory
What could be the reasonable take-out price range for my choice?
I am in mid-20's, but when people see me, they think I am still a highschool student. I am anxious that I might get ripped off, so I really really need your help! Then, I will just insist on the reasonably set price with confidence.
Thanks!
The following is the description of the said car as long as I can remember:
Silver exterior/Black leather&upholstery
Sunroof package
6 CD changer
(Many options are standard with C320 compared to 230/240.)
I live in Chicago and just bought a c240 4Matic. I did all my negotiating over the phone and by email. The dealers were willing to give me the car for invoice less any dealer bonus/payments they received. Thus, when I bought my car in July I got $1000 dealer rebate plus $1000 because I financed through MB. This amount was subtracted from the invoice. Two dealers were willing to make the same deal with me, but I ended up going to Michael Mango at Loeber because I had dealt with Loeber before and they do not try to screw you in the end. You should just check what the rebates being offered are on this site and send emails to the dealers. They will all respond quickly and are willing to negotiate. I still have people emailing me four weeks after I bought the car.
I got my car from Loeber as well
I once got an offer of $32,700 excluding tax and documentation fee for C240 4matic with the following options:
Power Dr. Seat
Sunroof Package
6CD
But I've decided to go with C320 4matic instead. I am very much satisfied with its performance overall. I know that there is a dealer rebate of $2500 going on for C320, and I am not sure if my deal was good or fair. I don't think it was a bad deal at all at least, but I was just curious. I got about $7000 off MSRP at the end. Overall, I have been very much satisfied with Loeber's service.
Thanks for your reply.

C230K
-Lighting Package
-Heated Seats
-Sunroof Package
-Metallic Paint
-TeleAid Package

This is what they offered:
MSRP: $36,120
Base Cap Cost: $32,111
Down Payment: $4,000
Adjusted Cap: $28,111
Term: 39 Months
Residual: 58%
Tax: 7.9%
Total Monthly Payment: $423
Is $423 about right? I'm only willing to put about half as much down as they are asking for.

YR :shades:
BTW, I've been getting offers of $1000 below invoice and another has offered to beat that on a new 06 c230 (SF Bay Area).
1) What happened to the "Kompressor"? Was that just the C230 05 version?
2) What are some leasing programs that people have experienced including Residual, Money Factor, and MSRP Discount? Beacon: 804
Thanks. I'll post my experience.

How is the deal?
When I bought my Volvo 2 years ago; I got it for roughly invoice. The S60R was selling near full price because of demand outstripping supply, but the S60 was the other way around - so they were willing to bend.
For the C280, as its new, I don't know - have dealers been willing to discount the 'normal' amount - to place it around $500-$750 above invoice? Also... I live closest to Mercedes-Benz of Arlington Heights (formerly Mark Motors) - although certainly willing to shop around. Given the size of Chicago; I saw some earlier postings that Loeber Motors worked well for people. Any helpful suggestions would be great.
Thanks.
And I think the C280 is a positively superb package. While a bit tighter inside than your S60 [but not by much], the way the car behaves on the road, especially with the new drivetrain, will make you glad you made the change. We just got back from a 4000 mile trip in our C240 [an '02], and boy, I'm in love with this car all over again. BUT, I'm still thinking about a trade for the C280 because the new engine-trans combination is just so great.
The lease numbers are completely out of my league - someone else will have to comment. I haven't leased a car in 30 years.
Can I get Less than MSRP?
Thanks,
Atrain
