#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.
#3973 of 6709 BMW 540i vs. MB E500 by sezme2 Sep 24, 2002 (8:23 pm)
Drove the E500/320 at the local "E-Motion" event sponsored by MB last weekend. The 500, with the advanced shocks, nearly drove as nicely as my 2002 540iA, though it feels a bit more cumbersome. The interior seemed more complex (a good thing IMO), and slightly larger, with a more comfortable seat for the driver.   The E320 seemed like a lumbering turtle in comparison. I was completely underwhelmed by its unresponsiveness cornering, and it's lag time at the throttle.   If you are looking for utmost performance (handling, road feel, and confidence behind the wheel), I am more impressed with the 540i Bimmer, though the MB E500 impressed me as no slouch puppy.
#3974 of 6709 BMW 540i vs. MB E500 by sezme2 by rayscar Sep 25, 2002 (4:45 am)
Hi sezme2. I have Directv and on one of the PBS channels, I think it was 961 (WHUT) this past Saturday at 12:30, there was a car show called European Car Magazine. They compared the 2003 E500 with the 2003 BMW 540i and the Jaguar S-Type V8. They said that the 540i had set the standard in the class but after this test they picked the E500. It won virtually every category. At least until the new 5 series is released, I think the E500 is the car to beat. This is first comparison test I've seen between the cars. It will be interesting to see hwo future tests come out. You have your opinion and I have mine but this is from an independent third party. Only time will tell.
