There is no problem have a vehicle serviced purchased at another dealer. I shopped on the MBUSA site by building my vehicle and E-mailing my requests through their link to dealers all over the country.
 
If the vehicle is pick up in another the selling dealer usually give temporary plates to transport the vehicle to the home state. California required a Smog test on a new vehicle purchased out of state. If a vehicle is ship to local dealer from another there will be a delivery and preparation fee that can run $300 to $400.

Hmm..I'm about a 2 hr drive from Baltimore - not in MD at all lol. That's why I want to know if it's advantageous to go out of state for a compelling deal. I am not sure why the dealers within a 25 mile radius of me seem to all be quoting above invoice as though the cars are flying off the lot.
 
I would buy from another state, and drive the car back, or pick it up at a local dealer I guess, right?
 
By the way, is it also possible to get a regular lease term? instead of 27 and 39, say 24 or 36? Or are they predefined and not negotiable?

I would refer you to Federal Truth in Leasing Act. There is no such thing as an APR on leases, and MF is not a dealer sham to confuse the two. APR applies to Federal Truth in Lending. Dealers have no say in confusing the issue and are in fact enjoined from quoting MF as an APR. From some of these posts, you should be more concerned about what you are charged for the acuqisition fee.

I'm about to buy my first car and am looking for a good deal... swinging by the Mercedes dealership I saw a 2006 c230 sport, with several options such as sunroof, entertainment package, all leather, etc.. I want some advice on what kind of deal this is:
 
Car: 2006 c230, certified pre-owned
Miles: 31,500
Warranty: until 7-2010 or up to 100,000 miles
Great condition
Sticker price: $24,900
Sale Price: $18,000
Negotiated down to $15,500
 
I just worry about being hit with really expensive repair costs after the warranty is up. What do you guys think I should do?
 
Thanks!

It is hard to judge without knowing the condition of the car, but assuming that it is excellent, this sounds like a good deal!

Before you buy a C300 2008 "check suspension system" by abe300
Jan 05, 2009 (2:38 pm)

I strongly recommend that you test drive a C300 before you buy it.
The suspension system may not meet your expectations.
I've been buying new MB's since 1987. This is the first time that my internal organs shake when I go over a pothole or a crack in the pavement. The dampening factor is non existent.
The problem is exarcebated by the inadequate driver's seat (it lacks padding). I also own a 2007 C230 and it's suspension is superb by comparison.
If you own a C300 already I'll like to know if you concurr and if you have any suggestions to improve the unacceptable ride.
I purchased it at Fletcher Jones Newport Beach, the service dpt drove it and play with the tire pressure but there was no improvement.

C300 Ride Quality by jrct9454

Ride quality on the C300 Luxury is fine - well within the usual MB and German parameters, Ride with the Sport package is certainly too firm for my tastes.
 
I've owned 15 Mercedes since 1968; I'd say our '08 C300 Lux is probably the best of these, period....

I am surprised to read your comment. I have the c300 sport and I absolutly love the feel and drive of the car. Now I was looking for a sports car so that may be the difference. I thought the suspension was softer than the BMW 3 series. I think this is just a matter of personal taste.
