Hi, I am planning to buy a black, C300 sport sedan, 4 MATIC with P1 options. Anyone got this car recently? If so, can you let me know how much you got it for? (the out-the-door price) I would like to know whether the price my dealer is quoting is right. I live in Boston area. It would great if you can let me know where you got, so it will be easier for me to calculate the tax difference too. Thanks. |

I have quoted for a steel gray metallic C350 2008 base model for $34,247, before taxes and fees, over the phone. How much should I negotiate down at the dealer? Thanks for all your input.

Does anyone here judge a deal by 'cost per mile'? For instance if I were to lease a C300 for 27months at 10,000miles per year, I would be essentially paying close to $15,000 for 22,500miles which comes to $0.67 per mile. Not including gasoline of course. Is this acceptable? I can appreciate the prestige and luxuries of a fine German vehicle, but I'd like to think I'm practical also. |

Well..compared to a ferrari which once out of warranty is estimated to cost $1.50 a mile on service alone....I guess $.67 is a good deal. Try adding up all the costs..insurance,service, gas to see the real cost of driving any car. I can assure you that you will do that excercise just once...and you will think seriously about buying that scooter.. I once added up the total cost of my boat and calculated that the fish that I caught cost roughly $1000 a pound...and that was before the gas price increase. I told my wife if she wanted fish for dinner, go buy some at the local store. Seriously...You have to have a car....so first find the least expensive car you actually would buy and figure out the cost (be realistic...you probably wouldn't drive a kia, etc). Then the only number that's meaningful is how much more it costs to drive the one you really want. You are going to spend the base cost no matter what. Now you can grapple with the additional cost of buying the C300 instead of the G35 vs whatever. |

I have just spoken to a different dealership and they offer to beat my previous internet quote price for $900 less than invoice. How much should I ask for? What are the compromises? What should I watch out for? I know the dealer fee is $599, license and registration is around $200, my local tax rate is 7.75%. The Sale guy was not able to help me on 2009 because he has no deal on the new models ... so he claims. Has anyone paid $33,500 for a base model C350 2008? All comments welcome. Thanks. |

Since I am searching for a lowest loan rate possible. Here are a few number that I was able to call to verify for South Cali / LA area 6.49% Fiscal CU 5.14% Bank of America 6.84% Wachovia 4.99% Lockheed 5.99% MB Dealer # 1 7.50% MB Dealer # 2 I will ask around for a few more rate from Ca Union Bank, Key Point, US Bank ... and so forth. I will up date this post as I can verify for more information. If any of you guys know of a better rate some where else, please let me know. Thanks.
