I believe dealers have to right to make profit. Also, we, consumers have right to look for better deal. The reason you see so many webs/forums/message boards for price issues is that simply internet works better for consumers.
I have never done invoice + something before. It's been alway fixed prices deal. So, I didn't know there is such item in the factory invoice list. Paying $500 more for a $50000 car should cause so much damage to a buyer. I just wanted to know if it's legal. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
It should read
"Paying $500 more for a $50000 car SHOULDN'T cause so much damage to a buyer."
Any recommendations? Am thinking about Pirelli "P Zero Nero" They look good from the info on Tirerack's site.
Also how can I salvage some money from the Michelins that have less than 3K miles?

On a limited production vehicle, 1000 - 1500 to the U.S. for the current year's production. You could buy and re-sell on e-bay for a profit.

As I said, it's for my wife and it will have the 7-speed. Hope the tranny works better in this car than in earlier models!
I did it with my BMW and found the experience to be very positive. You pay European MSRP, which was/is about 10% below US MSRP. It was almost enough savings to pay for a 2 week vacation driving around Germany. And I got to break my bimmer in on the Autobahn :-).
heres the question, i want to sell it as it is just too small for me. i am on a purchase and feel if i sell it now i know i will be upside down. i am wondering whether to just drive it a year and make the payments and then sell it with about 13k miles. does it make sense to sell it now or after a year of payments on a 48 month loan?
thanks
Looking forward to an outrageous new ride.
While this may be off-topic I was hoping for some additional input. My trade is a 2003 Acura TL Type-S in pristine condition with only 27,500 miles, brand new Michelin speed-rated tires with a little under $20,000 owed. My research shows that I shouldn't have any trouble getting out of the vehicle with out rolling anything into the lease and may be able to actually get $500 towards the SLK. Any thoughts to the contrary?
Thanks.
I am going to look at a
2001 Mercedes SLK320 Hardtop convertible, sport edition.
which has 38000 miles and the asking price is 26k. Good condition
My questions are :
1. Is it a good deal ?
2. Does the std warranty for 50000 miles still hold good ?
3. Can i buy ext. warranty from the dealer ? and how much does it cost.
4. What does the kbb numbers weigh for the vehicle ?
pls pls respond asap. I need to make a decision soon.
Thanks
the kbb says
Excellent $24,230
Good $23,020
Fair $21,255
Have been on this site for about 1 1/2 years, envying
everyone elses cars. Well by tonite {picking it up this evening}
I'll have one of my own!
Was browsing at Prestige Motors here in Paramus, NJ and
for kicks, just thought I'd inquire about the SLK280 and its
money factor, thinking it had increased. Well the money
factor has FALLEN to .00165!! I could NOT resist.
My monthly payment is 620 with ZERO down.
Color is Obisidian Black.
I've got the
-Comfort Package
-Heating Package
-Lighting Package
This was the MOST HASSLE FREE Buying experience EVER!!
I hope my ownership experience is similiar to the buying experience.
WOOO HOOO!!!!
2005 350 SLK (diamond silver) with 4k miles for 41k. It is the base package with automatic trans and multi CD player. I will have them install after market seat heaters.
The records appear very clean on Carfax and it mentions that it was a fleet car from California.
I am in the midwest and this seems to be a very appealing price for a 350 with so few miles. Could I be missing something or is this a solid deal?
Any thoughts, comments or caveats?
Thanks so much for any info you can provide.

I just got a 2006 SLK280 with the price of $43,800 "out the door". This car is all standard. Just wondering if this is the right deal with the current market. Please let me know. Thanks!
I wanted the SLK55, but realized that the extra $$ wasnt necessary since the next raffic light was 2 blocks away..
NEVER pay sticker...they tried it, but it didnt work...
i ordered the Black with ASH interior...
BE CAREFUL ABOUT THE INTERIOR COLOR SINCE THE ROOF IS REALLY AN ASH/GREY COLOR. SOME INTERIOR COLORS WILL LOOK SILLY IF IT DOESNT MATCH THE ROOF!!

I just shopped around for a SLK280 and I was wondering if $45,000 or possibly $44,000 is too much for one with a MSRP of $49,505 (somewhere around there).
Also, should a larger down payment alter the money factor at all? My initial impression is that it shouldn't since the money factor is based upon someone's credit history and therefore shouldn't be affected by annual lease mileage allowance or amount of down payment. Then I remembered BMW has a certain plan where you'd make certain additional payments throughout your lease to lower the money factor.
Plus, does anyone have the residual and money factor for a SLK280 for 27 months and 12k miles a year?
Thanks in advance!
