P2 package ( P1 is standard on the 350) and the 18 inch AMG wheels. Could not justify the Nav as I have the 3G iPhone and a Magellan loaded with many "favorite" places.
Got 4.5k off of MSRP, could have held out for more, but that was my "comfortable" price and was happy with the 2.9% from MBUSA.
The negotiations were pretty easy, no arm twisting or high pressure. Basically they said "here is what we are comfortable selling at". They were pretty laid back at Phil Smart. I will shop there again.
I suppose had I left I could have got another $500 or so off, but we were in my comfort zone as well so I pulled the trigger. :shades:
Sister is looking at '09 C63 AMG & they offered $66k with all pkgs EXCEPT:
- NO AMG performance package - tho they did charge for LSD & Speed limiter
- NO CD Changer
- NO Carbon fiber trim.
Everything else is tacked on.
i just got a quote from a deal on a 2008 c300 sport P01 options, ipod integration kit, 320 multi media pkg, 333 sport sedan,aluminum trim..
BASE price $34,840
with options and destination ($875) $41,150 msrp
dealer told me could get it down to $35-$36,000 (i think i could do alot better)?
WHAT should i make for an offer on this car??? help?
thanks..
Thanks for the replies and all the good information that is offered on the C300 topics.
Can you provide the dealership in Tampa Bay that you received this great deal? From the looks of it you got $10k off the sticker.
Yep, I just help another dude got a better deal than me, he got the same thing like I got but w/ pano roof and tele aid for $500 more.
I don't think I am allow to post dealer name on this forum. I tried to pm you but I could not find out how to pm. Anyway, I will email you the dealer if you give me your email.
The dealers in my area will sell the 2009 c300 sport 4matic at invoice (in my case thats about $3,000 under sticker with p1,p2,mm,ipod and lit sills). Invoice was not too difficult to get to - so I am trying to determine how much below invoice is possible.
The 2008's have an additional $2000 in dealer incentive money from MB.
No finance incentives on new cars just certified pre own.
I am an extended warranty buyer - we keep our cars 5 to 6 years and drive about 12K a year. When we resell its always easier with a transferable warranty and we like having the big items covered. The MB 7yr/100k warranty is attractive to us but runs $4605. We are being quoted 10% off the warranties.
Anyone have info to improve my leverage?
I am planning to buy the 2008 Merc C300. And my dealer mentioned that they are out of C300 and offered me a C350 in Red color with P2 package for $35,250 ..I got abt $3500 rebate from what he said and $1000 as transfer of vehicle from diff dealer..
Can you please advise me if this is a worth price to pay...
Also can you please PM me the dealer in tampa bay who offered you upto $10K off.. My email id mnarahar@yahoo.com
Cheers

Can you please PM me the dealer info. I am buying a C350 this weekend and would really be thankful if you can email me the particulars and options.. I see you got a great deal here... My personal email naraharimr@yahoo.com

I've received a quote of $33,500 for the following:
2008 C300 4MATIC
P1 Package
Metallic paint
iPod Integration Kit
Destination charge
Although this seems pretty good, I'm a little concerned that two dealers had no problem meeting this price. Can I do better?
Best,

I know there's some dealer holdback involved but I've always understood you should never get involved in a discussion on holdbacks (Consumer Reports says you should!).
Interesting to hear that the incentive may actually be more than $2,000 in some areas (as mentioned by coolbuddy).
When I went in July, the dealer cash promo wasn't on, just the lease special. They wanted me to put some ridiculous amt down and still my payment was going to be 700-800. I'm probably 3500-4000 upside down right now on my car. Thanks.
good luck,

The car I'm thinking of buying (2008 C300 4MATIC with P1 package) is now $33,000, down from the original $33,500 I was quoted.
Don't know what what the policy is in your area but where I live there is no charge (to the customer) for trucking within a 100 mile radius.
I live in NJ too, could you tell me what dealer is offering you below invoice pricing? I went to Millenium in bridgewater and Morristown, and both are quoting small discounts to msrp. I want a C300 sport with automatic.
I couldn't find a general announcement but here's one from a dealer in Minnesota:
http://community.icontact.com/p/feldmannimports/newsletters/internet/posts/merce- des-benz-price-increase
is this good deal? or I can make to reduce the price like $30,000
Which area did you get this deal? I am interested in the same package and price??
I am looking to buy 2008 Sport Package P1, IPOD, Silver with Gray Interior. The invoice price is $51,787 and the TMV is $48,950. But Dealer is only giving me 4k below invoice which comes out to $47,787 but is willing to pay for the delivery of the car from out of state to Texas which is 1k. Is that a good deal? Should I ask the dealer to give me 4k below TMV which comes out to $44,950? I think if the dealer is selling at 48,950 which is the TMV they are still making $ with dealer holdback. Should we be using TMV or Invoice when we negotiate with marketing support? Also is the marketing support for E Class 6k or 4k been to 2 dealers and they said Edmunds made a mistake in stating 6k? Pls advise!
572.19 payment! 12K miles+Premium package+ipod int kit (all I wanted was warm seats!); Quoted 37,895. capped tax: 1450; aq: 795; fees and ins: 600; upfront tax 80; OofP:2,047. retention: .00251
residual: 56; res bump 2%,; Total res: 23,297; reg fee 351; doc fee 249. advance max 49,887
So, what of all these numbers are negotiable? What kind of deal is this? How do I sound like I know what I'm doing when I walk in again? They see a woman coming and wham.. I have never leased a car before.
THANK YOU!
I guess maybe I was mistaken... the C300 Sport had a $2000 incentive, not a $3000 incentive. Anyways, it appears only the 4MATIC or the Luxury one still has that incentive, not the Sport version.
2008 C350
Premium II package
Multimedia package
MSRP: $42,075
Quoted: $36,200+TTL
Any ideas if this is a good deal or not? If not, what would be a good deal? Thanks!
I like the guy that I work with at MB in the Bay Area but I just discovered this wonderful message board so it doesn't hurt to receive feedback...
I'm looking at the following:
Description ................................ INVOICE / MSRP
C300 Sport White on Black.......... $29,853 / $32,100
Option 320: Multimedia................ $2,771 / $2,980
7-Speed Automatic Transmission.. $1,358 / $1,460
Burl Walnut Wood (uugh).............. $288 / $310
iPod Integration .......................... $349 / $375
SUBTOTAL ................................ $34,619 / $37,225
Transportation and Handling ......... $875 / $875
IRG Participation ......................... $500 / -- (this is some new weird fee)
TOTALS ..................................... $35,994 / $38,100
My price on the car would be $34,500 (about $1500 under invoice). The terms of the lease are as follows.
39 months
10K miles / year
Money Factor = .0025 (or 6%)
Residual = 57%
Out the door = 1st payment, reg/licensing and tax or $920.
Monthly = $499 + CA tax (or a total of $540/month)
Any thoughts? He let me know that his buy rate on the Money Factor is .002... so do I work him for the extra .0005?
Thanks!
I am new to this board, and i do hope to get some advises from you.
I have been quoted $34,500 for a new C300 Luxury Sedan (Silver/Grey-Black MB tex, iPOD integration kit). Is this a good price?
Does anyone think i can go lower than the quoted price? If so, what would be a good price to offer?
I live in Houston, TX.
Thank you for your advise.
