#327 of 1019 Re: C350 on order [150mphclub] by shanky Oct 21, 2005 (10:29 pm)
Replying to: 150mphclub (Oct 21, 2005 11:13 am) I ordered my C350 Luxury on 9/1, it was confirmed as built on 9/23 at Bremen, and till 10/14 it was waiting for a boat ride to LA. I expect delivery by end of Nov. I guess the most painful part is that the shipping takes so long...I am surprised why you were told that production would take more than 2 months!   By the way, are these advances/deposits refundable at all MB dealerships?

It's just not good business to hold the customer at gunpoint - you always hope you'll get him back.

Replying to: shanky (Oct 21, 2005 10:29 pm) I had a bad feeling when I placed my order, since MB had just announced a big layoff at the C class assembly plant. I hope the new CEO gets things turned around quickly. Replies to this message: jrct9454 (Oct 24, 2005 4:16 am)

Replying to: 150mphclub (Oct 23, 2005 7:29 pm) The cutbacks are not "layoffs"; most of the staff reductions [which were long overdue - you really need to visit a German car factory, ANY German car factory, to understand why that is true] are going to be through attrition.   There is absolutely no reason why Daimler shouldn't join the 21st century in their manufacturing practices; every Japanese car maker has been running rings around the Germans in manufacturing efficiency for 30 years. Worry if you want - the C280 is on my short list of cars I want to own.
#331 of 1019 deals in Dallas Texas by stv6 Oct 26, 2005 (6:21 am)
Anyone know if dealers in Dallas will go below MSRP for the 2006 C230 Sport? I keep getting the story that no dealers in Dallas will move. Best I could find was $500 under, and that was not through Mercedes. Replies to this message: carync (Dec 03, 2005 9:56 pm)

#333 of 1019 Dallas... by jrct9454 Dec 04, 2005 (7:11 am)
...is a peculiar market for these kinds of cars. The "Prices Paid..." forum for the new Lexus IS has been dominated recently by a long discussion about the unwillingness of the Dallas dealers to actually deal - buyers have been going to FLA and getting $2500 off on ISes that are going for MSRP in Dallas.   This isn't the first time I've heard these kinds of stories - sounds like too much loose money running around in Dallas, so people are willing to spend whatever it takes. Don't expect to get much of a deal on an MB there, either. These cars are routinely discounted $1500 and up in coastal urban markets - but you have to be willing to do some e-mailing, phoning, and potentially, traveling.

Considering buying a C230 sport sedan...dont know much about them except that they are pretty and maybe not quite big enough for the whole family (3 kids)..??..also, have no idea what the best price out there would be...advice? Replies to this message: jrct9454 (Dec 07, 2005 4:09 pm)
#335 of 1019 Re: new to this! [sbuinokc] by jrct9454 Dec 07, 2005 (4:09 pm)
Replying to: sbuinokc (Dec 07, 2005 10:32 am) Don't know how old the kids are, but no, I would say this is not a car for a family of 5 traveling together. While the C is roomier than either the BMW 3er or Lexus IS in back, I would not contemplate carrying three kids back there in any of these cars. Don't even know if the latch arrangements would accommodate same, but then I'm childless and retired, and know from nothing about child seats, etc.   If you have $30k to spend, I can think of better alternatives - the Toyota Avalon [don't laugh, the car handles and goes in its new iteration that was just introduced], Ford 500, the new Buick Lucerne, if a sedan is preferred over a minivan or SUV. The wagon version of the Saab 9-3, which is just coming into our market, is another one that comes to mind.
