#242 of 664 Re: Electrical Nightmare [booradley1] by biel Apr 28, 2005 (9:07 pm)
Replying to: booradley1 (Aug 19, 2001 8:18 am) I believe i am or will be having the same nightmare. Just bought a 2005 C-320 coupe last month, from San Jose, CA. got the windows tinted. I noticed that I cannot open the doors, unless i point the key directly into the info light. Took it to the dealer, they suspect it is due to tinting. left my new car overnight. they informed me, when they open the combar? where they have the frequency for the door etc. , they found alot of water. They said its because of the process of the tinting. Hmmmm. perhaps they are right, but, this is a hatch back, they should have already anticipated that it will get wet, from either the rain, some sort of a spill of what ever. and the rep. told me that glass has no seal around the combar, therefore there is no protection. They are asking me to pay over $1500.00 if i wanted it fix. WHAT? not covered? they are blaming the Place where i had it tinted. Sure, why not. my point is, even if water got there, it should not short circuted or malfunction just like that. I found out that the tinting place owner's daughter has the same car except for her's is 2002. mine is 2005. He also tinted her windows and key works fine. I suggested to the owner to bring his daughters car into the dealers and show them. I dont what to do. i am upset. barely a month old car, and here is what i have to deal with. Any suggestions?
#243 of 664 C230K at Invoice good deal? by tbonephile Apr 29, 2005 (1:06 pm)
I got a quote for a silver metallic 6 spd with sunroof, entertainment and heated seats. List is $34,090 and they offered the car for $31,757 or invoice and also they don't have this car so they need to swap for it. What do you think? I asked for the car because I wanted the upgraded stereo. The lease term on the deal at $475 a month with only first month and title due at signing. Tax and bank fees are rolled into the $475 on a 39/15k lease. How did I do? Replies to this message: dominique1 (May 17, 2005 8:49 am)

Replying to: basha (Apr 12, 2005 9:54 pm) I'm glad I saw your message! I'm trying to buy a similar car, but haven't had an offer that even comes close to yours. The '04 c240 4-matic I'm looking at is also certified pre-owned and has about 15.5k, but the dealer won't go below $32,600 all inclusive. It has the comfort package (driver and passenger electronic seats with memory) and an upgrade on the sound system, but that's still not worth the thousands more I'm being quoted. Thanx!

#245 of 664 Re: 2002 C230 K on Saturday! by valleyg May 03, 2005 (1:43 am)
Replying to: vidmd (Apr 29, 2005 2:58 pm) I bought my first MB on Saturday...a 2002 C230 K!     Here's the issue...it has 58,500 miles, and it not covered under any manufactuer's warranty. I purchased a warranty from the dealership (and I can cancel w/in 30 days) and I feel like I may have gotten an overpriced deal.   The warranty is exclusionary and for 36 mos/36,000 miles is $3129. It includes a $250 dissapearing deductible if I go back to the dealership.   I've been looking at quotes on line since Sunday and Monday (tonight) and it is VERY overwhelming with all the quotes and coverages, and articles. I want exclusionary (bumper to bumper).   Any warranty suggestions?   Any help would be appreciated.   VG

Replying to: bob_graham (May 08, 2005 9:57 pm) Seems high. In CT same car as a dealer demo with 9K miles was offered to me for $32,000. New they are giving around $4000 off so I would shoot for $35, 000 before the sirius radio (which they are making a fortune in mark-up on).

#251 of 664 Completed Purchase of 2005 C240 4Matic by bob_graham May 10, 2005 (11:06 pm)
Here is the final price we paid. We went back to the dealer that we bought our 2004 C240 4matic because of the great service department and the excellent sales person.    I should note we had one problem with the 2004 C 240 4 matic, a noisy spring in the front end, that is it after 1 1/2 years and 30,000 miles. Cool part about the dealer, they pickup the car at your house for service and then deliver it back to you.......If you like they leave you a loaner.    We bought the 2005 C240 4 matic after driving both the C240 4matic and a large discounted 2005 e320 4matic. (7000 off of sticker of 55050)    The C has a much more sporting feel. So we went with the C class.    Dealer Berberian European Motors in Stockton California    2005 C240 4 matic, entertainment package, sun roof package, fold down rear seat, Tele-Aid, Drivers power seat package    White exterior black interior - a real hard combination to find....    Sticker - 39040    Price - $35675    Added 5th year and 100,000 mile warranty - $1825 I think this was a little high but the list on this was $2150 so my wife talked me into it.    Sirius will be installed on Friday at their dealer cost somewhere below $800 installed.    Mercedes 5 year note with $7K down was 6.49% I check a few banks and the rate was 6.5% to 6.99% - rates are going up in the San Francisco area.    We also traded in a 2002 Lexus RX 300 AWD with 38K miles $25K trade in. This was pretty fair since I checked and most dealers were thinking around $23K trade in.    How do I rate the service between Lexus and Mercedes, both are good however it seems like the Lexus dealer really sticks it to you on cost over the Mercedes. Oil change and mini service every 3000 miles at $150 plus big service every 15K versus service every 13000 miles on Merc.    We were on the list for delivery in May of a Lexus Hybrid but the more cramped interior of the 06 over the 02, the blind spot in the rear and the $51K did us in. Our 04 C240 4 Matic averages 23 to 25 MPG so we now have 2 of them. For speed we bought a 2005 Hemi Grand Cherokee which I posted 2 months ago on Jeep forum. So were hooked on DC for now. .    Overall maybe not the best deal but the dealer is very good, they had the color combination, so we decided we did not want to drive around to save a grand.
