Replying to: paulclee (Nov 15, 2008 10:41 pm) The prices on new car warranties from MB are up over 100% since my last purchase. After thirty days there is a 15% surcharge on the new car warranties. Make sure you are receiving an MB Warranty after for a copy. Make sure your quote is in writing. I asked a dealer back East for a quote on a 7 year 100,000 miles warranty. The price was a couple hundred less than my best quote. You can see what the contract looks like below. Make sure all entries are entered. There was no expiration on my warranty and it showed five years rather than seven years. The original warranty of four years plus the years purchased. I got a quote from a MB dealer for a 7 years 100,000 mile warranty for about $3,800.00. I received the warranty about two weeks later and it was for one year. I did get a full refund after contacting MBUSA. AGREEMENT TYPE/TERM** THE WARRANTY SHOULD HAVE READ 7 YR 100,000 MILES AGREEMENT END DATE*** WAS LEFT BLANK The warranty read 5 YR 100,000 Mile Purchase Price $4,341.25 This is a one year extension to the original warranty. I questioned the terms after I received the warranty in the mail about two weeks later. I was informed that I asked for a one extension of the original warranty was left blank on the warranty.

I thought I would share some pricing that I recieved yesterday. I got this price using Costco. They work with dealers that give a no haggle price for a car. 2009 C300 4 Matic Premium 1 package I-pod intergration Burl Walnut Metalic paint Invoice is $37,848 offered $36,504 Is this a good deal? I have not negotiated because with the Costco program they are giving thier best price upfront. Thanks for any advice.

The best quote I received over the phone is around $41900, about $1500 below invoice and I feel I can do a bit better when doing the actual face to face negotiation. According to you, the Costco quote for your C300 is $1344 below invoice. Although I do not have any experience shopping for the 2009 C300, I think perhaps you can try to offer a few hundred $ less. Good luck!

With this downturn economy going around. I think, a car can be bought at a "drive-out" price = MSRP price. I just bought a new 2009 C300 (metallic silver + Ipod integration kit) at a "drive-out" price, which is closed to MSRP.

Replying to: mikehoang (Nov 17, 2008 6:35 am) I am not seeing any incentives or rebates for this car. I know there must be a ton of them because these dealers are not selling this car under invoice without some compensation from Mercedes. Are any of you aware of the rebates that Mercedes is offering the dealers to move cars? Thanks.

Replying to: lewis3 (Nov 17, 2008 7:22 am) There is “Dealer holdback.” Quote from Edmunds.com: “Dealer holdback is a percentage of either the MSRP or invoice price of a new vehicle (depending on the manufacturer) that is repaid to the dealer by the manufacturer.” Edmunds.com informs us that the MB dealer holdback is 3% of the total MSRP (including all options.) If the MSRP is $35000, 3% of $35000=$1050. I am sure there are other compensations to the dealers such as volume discounts to allow them selling cars below “invoice” and still make a profit. |
