Can you elaborate more about the trim level and the actual price paid before tax?
 
Other details...

Thanks, Steve

The 05 320 4matic wagon with premium package and heating package. Roughly 10K off sticker. The final price before tax is $49500.
 
I believe you can get 11K off at least if the dealer has the car you want. I was offered by a dealer 10K off but he needed to get the car from another dealer. And that car had 140miles on it. So I looked around further and found one. Somehow I managed to forget the fact that the dealer had the car in their stock (and could thus reduce the price more). So I'd say you can ask for 11K off, or even 12K. For me, to get 10K off was really easy -- there wasn't any tough negotiation involved. Everything indicated there is still some room. I'm at the bay area, CA.
 
However I'm not very sure how much that 75mile is worth. Does it count as a test car?

Certified Pre Owned E-320 4MATIC AWD by ed4040

Looking for purchase and lease pricing on a certified pre-owned E-320 4MATIC AWD sedan in the NY/Tri-State area. I've seen several on the MB website and it seems like the internet posted pricing is around $30-35,000 for vehicles with approximately 25-40,000 miles. I'm sure I can negotiate better pricing, but wanted to see if anyone had purchased a similar car recently. Thanks!

Jump over to the Smart Shopper forum, and re-post under "Real World Trade In Values", Terry, the main expert, visits about 15 auctions a month, and can give you a great idea of bottom line dealer retail. Be sure to specify if you have a color preference, as dark cars command higher prices up north than some light ones.

can you give us a sense of whether you were able to deal below MSRP, and if so, how much?

I took delivery of my 2006 E350 on March 20, 2005. Mostly due to a high level MB coporate referral/contact I was able to get below MSRP. That said, if you look at carsdirect.com, at least in the SF Bay Area, they quote a very good price, well below MSRP!

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately I haven't heard anything back yet. I'll continue to explore the recommended path, but any other information would be appreciated. In regards to color I'm looking for Brilliant Silver.

I've been watching the other forum, and Terry's been gone more than usual. He was on vacation two weeks ago, and he runs several new car dealerships in addition to his auction visits, so I'm guessing he's backed up. That said, I've been following that discussion for over three years, and his advice has been invaluable to me and countless others.
 
Go ahead and put in a subject line "Re-Post, CPO E-320 4Matic, Silver" and then cut and paste your original message below. Don't refer to a previous post by number. There's been too much clutter over there lately, and he probably missed your first post. He generally looks for recent messages that say "re-post" first, and he usually spends most of his on-line time between 5 and 7 am.
 
Wish I could help more, but all I can do is send you to the one who knows. Good luck.

Given the horrendous and appalling litany of serious and pervasive mechanical problems with recent model year Mercedes Benz E class sedans -- revealed here in the Edmunds forums as well as those in Yahoo Auto Forums and elsewhere (see the Edmunds topic thread on the subject of E Class Problems and Solutions, for example) -- if I do decide to make an offer on the 2006 E it will be below invoice. What money I would potentially save would be put toward buying at least 2 or 3 years of an extended warranty.
 
How Mercedes can offer this car with only a standard 4yr/50,000 warranty in the wake of such serious electronic malfunctions and mechanical failures is beyond me. It seems to me that Mercedes Benz management, like the Detroit of the 1970s, is still clinging to the (false) notion that they are still royalty. The recently announced massive recall, affecting over 1 million cars, at an estimated expense well in excess of $100,000,000 is testament to the fact that the "Emperor" (Mercedes Benz) of today has no clothes.
 
It is time for Mercedes to put their money where there mouth is and put up a warranty that tells the world in deeds and not just hollow words, that the quality is really back in the new Mercedes cars.
