Replying to: lewis3 (Nov 16, 2008 6:04 pm) I am shopping around for a fully loaded C350 (P2, multimedia, panorama roof, ipod, and 18’’ AMG wheels.) 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.

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. |

Hiya, Anyone in the NOVA/DC area purchased a 2009 C300 Sport + Pkg1 + Multimedia. How much did you pay for it? If I'm given a quotation, how low you think I can go? $1500? $2000? off MSRP? or Invoice? Given times are tough, I hope to get a good deal. Please help! Thanks in advance. |
