#852 of 1011 Re: The ineluctable modality of the deal [dannnv] by MBPro Jan 30, 2009 (6:38 am)
Replying to: dannnv (Jan 29, 2009 1:32 pm) Nothing to divine where there is no divinity. In which case, the art of the deal becomes no more than the maya of the Hindus.   You can afford a C Class. Wonderful. A quality vehicle. Can you expect it to be represented by people of similar quality, salespeople with a degree of respect for your intelligence? And vice versa. Can't you imagine every salesperson has suffered every ploy and lie from buyers? Including some of the crazy claims in here.   Did you ever wonder if some BMW salesperson posts crazy numbers in the Mercedes site, hoping that you'll just wear yourself out making yourself crazy looking for the ephemeral deal that doesn't exist? Or the reverse?   Today is the thirtieth. Sales are sparse. Inventories are swollen. Deals evolve from the vortex of supply, demand, and floor expense.If you have not already consulted with a salesperson, call and ask the operator who the top salesperson is. He or she will have more influence with management. Go to the dealer today or tomorrow. Find something on the lot. Smile at your salesperson and say "I could own (lease) this one now. I have been to two other dealers. Please give me your best price. One time. No back and forth. I do not want to meet the manager. Please tell the manager if the first price goes up or down a penny, I promise you I will have to return to the dealer who treated me as I wished."   Maybe you'll get a deal.   A year from now you probably won't remember what you paid.

Replying to: harihoudini (Feb 03, 2009 5:53 pm) Purchased/Leased mine in Dec. here in GA.   Same equipment as you want but also had the Panarama Roof.   MSRP $45,840 OTD price $41,486   Your dealer is way too high.

Replying to: georgiaguy1 (Feb 04, 2009 1:49 pm) Wow ! That is some price. I guess if he doesnt give that to me then I have the option of buying in GA (Atlanta) since i am moving there shortly but wanted to take advantage of OHIO registration ($50 per year for tags) for this year since GA reg fees are crazy (i think $500 upwards per year)   I will use your OTD price to negotiate - thank you. BTW where in GA are you and who is your dealer ? Replies to this message: georgiaguy1 (Feb 06, 2009 7:17 am)

Replying to: harihoudini (Feb 04, 2009 3:36 pm) I am living near Lake Oconee. The dealer was MB of Athens. They were excellent to deal with. One thing I forgot to mention was that my car was built before the last price increase which was about $800 - $900.good luck.
#860 of 1011 Should I pay MSRP, or are other concessions fine? by Petrocelli Feb 06, 2009 (9:41 pm)
Replying to: garyking (Feb 28, 2001 5:27 pm) 31 months ago, I leased a Mercedes C280 for 39 months, with a payment of $585 a month, with no money down other than first payment and license fees. I get 15,000 miles a year. My lease runs out in October, but I am almost at my mileage limit, since the car has 49,500 miles on it.   The dealer offered me a new lease on a Mercedes C300 with a sticker price of $38,070.   I could buy out the last 8 lease payments for 3 lease payments. Stated differently, the dealer will pick up 5 payments.   Based on a sales price of $38,070, I will get a new lease for $635 a month, which is based on a residual of $18,700, and an interest rate of 3.96%. I put no money down, other than the first payment and license, and about $1,800 for the 3 lease payments. I pay 20 cents a mile for every mile over 48,500 miles.   I figure this is a good deal because I have exceeded my mileage now, so I am paying 20 cents for every mile I drive for the next 8 months.. If I turn the car in, I can start over.   I tried to haggle a little on price, but the salesman pointed out he is giving a lot of concessions by buying out the lease early, and waiving the mileage overage. Note that this will be the third car I have gotten from the same salesman.   As an aside, I use my car alot for business, and save my mileage checks. I have about $5,000 set aside in an account from mileage money.   Any thoughts on whether this is a good deal?

I negotiated a 39 month lease with 15,000 miles on the car described in the prior post. I paid $595 a month.
