Has anyone test drove a c300 6-speed manual ? I've called all the dealerships all over the LA area and no one has it at this time. How did you like it? Did they quote you under MSRP for the car? Thanks for your help in advance.

I got more than $10k off MSRP on my 07 C350 in late August. There's probably a few more bucks left in your deal. One caveat: if you have small children, make sure to check that the car has child safety locks on the rear doors. My C Class doesn't and my three-year-olds figured it out in the first five minutes. I didn't realize the car didn't have them until the first time they opened the doors at speed. Good luck!

Really? A 4-door Mercedes without safety locks on the back doors?
 
I'm stunned..

I was incredulous when I discovered that it doesn't have the child safety locks. It's got the LATCH system, side airbags and just about every other safety feature, but no safety locks on the rear doors. There is a small hole where the switch for it should be, but it's not for safety locks. I called three different dealers just to make sure and they were all as surprised as I was.
 
I spoke with the GM of the dealer where I bought the car and he advised me that Mercedes thinks it's more important that you can escape from the car after an accident...I'm still skeptical.

C350 ... no child safety locks? by be325

We have C300 and we programed the system that all doors lock automatically at 9mph. Our adult guests couldn't open their doors until I (the driver) opened my door.

My locks are set the same way. However, the kids can pull up the lock buttons and unlock the door at any time. On the 08 models, the buttons are located toward the front of the door while the 07 has them adjacent to the kids' heads-- making them an easy reach from a booster seat. I was going to twist the buttons off, but the MB tech told me that the metal base would stick up anyway. I'm about to put Vaseline on the darn things so I don't have to trade the car in before my kids grow out of this phase.

Invoice Price for 2008 C350 sports by casper1022
Jan 29, 2008 (9:34 am)

What have you all paid for your C350 2008? I just received word my vehicle has just arrived and is in the dealer for pick up. The new invoice they say has gone up a little so with options I purchased (leather seats/tele aid/nav system) the quoted invoice is 41,131. Is this a good price? I noticed though, when I reviewed the invoice, I saw this code IRG $600, I know for a fact this is an advertising cost they try to pass on to buyers, IS THIS NEGOTIABLE? I have not given them the check yet and will try to negotiate this part of the deal. Any comments?? Would appreciate any information. Thanks all.

The ad fee is legit (it's part of the invoice), so you know it's not some bogus dealer add on fee.

This is unbelievable. On edmunds.com, the invoice price of C300Lux+metallic paint+P1=$33,756 minus 3% deals holdback, the cost to the dealer is $32,743. So the dealer is selling the care at a loss of $971? It's remarkable.
