Replying to: yazzychic (Feb 12, 2008 6:09 pm) If possible email SEVERAL dealers. See who responds and at what price. Then compare responses. You need as many as possible to find out who is willing to deal. After responses you can either respond by email or phone. I would call the sales mgr. when I was ready to make a commitment and try once more for the best possible price. Maybe the dealer would be willing to offer something of value over and above price as well. You will never know until you try. Be careful when someone asks you to come to the dealership to negotiate. Then you are on their home turf and at a big disadvantage. You have to keep banging away but it is worth it.Big hint. The best time to buy is the LAST 2-3 days of the month when they are anxious to make their sales quota.

Replying to: greasykid1 (Feb 13, 2008 1:18 pm) Thanks so much!!! I will definitely try emailing first and negotiating with many dealers before making a deal!   Let me know if you think of any other pointers!   What deal did you get? Replies to this message: greasykid1 (Feb 16, 2008 9:36 am)

Replying to: choppe01 (Feb 13, 2008 7:10 pm) Need the full MSRP to get an accurate residual value. Is there any additional dealer markup stickers (ADM) for such things as chrome rims, that is not listed on the factory window sticker?   Sport or Luxury? 4-matic?

Replying to: greasykid1 (Feb 13, 2008 1:18 pm) Should I email the Internet Manager, Fleet Manager, or Sales Manager at the dealerships? Replies to this message: ocautoseeker (Feb 14, 2008 10:08 pm)

Replying to: yazzychic (Feb 14, 2008 6:45 am) I recommend you call and ask to speak with the fleet director first, if not available, ask for the fleet manager. If you e-mail the sales manager directly, chances are he/she will simply spoon feed your deal over to a retail salesman who has zero authority to make a deal. It all depends on how a particular dealer operates.   If you decide to e-mail, mention that you're ready to buy and fielding bids from multiple dealers and you'll buy from the lowest bidder. You can also mention that you want to deal directly with someone who has the authority to "desk their own deals."   The bottom line... if lowest price is most important, you need to find a volume dealer that wh*res out their cars and isn't concerned with holding gross. You'd be surprised, lots of dealer's have huge egos and believe their vehicles are worth every penny of the window sticker.   Good Luck!

Replying to: yazzychic (Feb 14, 2008 6:10 pm) Nothing wrong with $500 over on a Merc. Sure, there might be a bit more wiggle room, but the price you were quoted is better than fair. Just an opinion , of course.   Good luck!

Replying to: yazzychic (Feb 13, 2008 2:25 pm) You asked what deal I got. I don't buy new. I buy slightly used. Have bought last 3 MB's each with less than 5,000 mi. on them. It takes a while but it's worth it. In 2005 bought an almost new (90 days old) 2005 SLK350 with only 1,800 mi on it for almost 17% off msrp. This was only 6 mos. after introduction of new model. 2 yrs later traded it on a 2007 SLK350 ( 5 months old and only 2700 mi ) for same type of discount. The 2007 had $5,000 more equipment than the 2005. Differance out of pocket at trade time was less than $10,000. Bought both SLK's in early Feb when convertible sales were slow.
