#3962 of 6709 Fuel Requirements by dermartin Sep 24, 2002 (11:37 am)
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?
#3963 of 6709 2003 Navigation System in E500 by lex10 Sep 24, 2002 (12:44 pm)
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.
#3964 of 6709 E500 Pricing by rlsmith11 Sep 24, 2002 (12:49 pm)
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.
#3965 of 6709 E500 Pricing by rlsmith11 by rayscar Sep 24, 2002 (1:39 pm)
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.
#3966 of 6709 fuel for E-320 for dermartin by r1_97 Sep 24, 2002 (2:31 pm)
Performance will suffer w/ mid grade 89. It's false economy. Go w/ recommended 91.
#3967 of 6709 lex10...Nav System discount by mall610 Sep 24, 2002 (2:40 pm)
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.
#3968 of 6709 Extended Warranty by mbdriver Sep 24, 2002 (3:54 pm)
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.
#3969 of 6709 Makes me want my German car even more by babyjocko Sep 24, 2002 (4:47 pm)
Kudos to the Germans!
#3970 of 6709 lex10: Command APS by babyjocko Sep 24, 2002 (4:57 pm)
Your dealer told you that the Command system discount is only for leases? Your method of payment doesn't even have anything to do with the order. So, there is no way that he can justify that when you are ordering your car. Sounds like he is trying to rip you off. I seriously doubt that he really understands it that way. The MBUSA memo is clear and concise.
#3971 of 6709 CD Changer AVailability by franman23 Sep 24, 2002 (7:00 pm)
My understanding is that certain production dates had problems with the CD changer supply. I'm not sure if it's still a problem. If you have a copy of the e-class catalog, there is actually a footnote with the CD changer option on the last page that mentions possible delayed availability. You may want to confirm with your dealer if it is a major issue for you. I was disappointed not getting the changer, but I love the car regardless.
