And in addition to what rayscar pointed out, the special order paint has always carried a $1k+ extra charge. If you want Lemon Yellow, they'll be happy to give it to you. And metallic paint has always been a $600+ option. Are you trying to troll this forum, or would you really equate lack of radio station name with lack of quality?? |

| I have this car with 50,000 miles and reliability has been excellent. Oil change every 4000 miles, I just switch to Syns oil Mobil 1 so that I change every 10,000 miles instead (just because I change oil myself). Changed front break pads one time, only regular maintenance so far... | |
| I am thinking about purchasing an '03 E320. The MB website recommends 91 octane fuel. I do not know what was recommended for '02 models. Have others used 89 octane and have there been any problems? | |
| I was recently told by the dealer that the nav system is only discounted for leases and did not apply to financed vehicles. Can anyone advise to the contrary. I was interested in the nav especially if I can save $500 with the rebate. | |
| I just took delivery on a 2003 E500. What a beautiful car!!!! Best car I've ever owned. My previous one was a 99 E320....which I had no complaints with. But the new E500 is like driving an S. I was considering ordering the 320 with the sport package etc. But I'm glad I went with the power, airmatic,etc. I have the keyless go which is a nice "toy". The only thing I might want to do is get the sport wheels. The car came with the slotted 5 spoke which is standard. My dealer can't get another 500 until late December because of the demand. The other two dealers I talked to are still waiting on their first one to come in (mid to late November). Anybody else getting a better deal than list??? I paid $500 under. | |
| Congrats rlsmith11!! I orderd my E500 in August. It should arrive by the end of October. My order is for MSRP. Getting $500 under that seems like a good deal to me. I have seen that price on other board posts in the last couple of days. maybe that means that MB is starting to make deals on the new E. I hope that I can get that price when my car comes too. Congrats again and keep us posted on the car and how you like it. | |
| Performance will suffer w/ mid grade 89. It's false economy. Go w/ recommended 91. | |

Sounds like you are getting a bum steer from that dealer. I ordered a E500 with the dicounted system...not a lease. All dealers I talked to had the same program. Post 3870 from rayscar above indicates that he also ordered with the discount. Sounds like the dealer is trying to boost his profit a little. Hopefully you have another dealer close enough to do business with. Maybe a different salesman in the same dealership? Good luck...the discount is for real and you should have it. |

mbe2003 -- Many MB dealers refuse to negotiate for the Mercedes warranty, which is factory authorized and will allow any MB dealer in the world to honor the warranty. Buying the MB warranty from any MB dealer makes no difference at all -- Courtesy Motors in California has sold numerous warranties to people on this board. Evidently they made a decision to cut their price and go with volume, which MB accepts. Personally, I prefer a MB warranty backed by MB that allows for repairs at any MB dealer. Hope this helps. |
