#190 of 567 Used 2003 E320 by cocca Oct 30, 2005 (11:54 am)
A private party is willing to sell a White w/beige leather 2003 E320 w/11k miles RWD. It has leather, moonroof, heated seats. He says he will consider $33,500. Is that a good deal for a NJ car?   Also, I live and work in alot of hills. Is this thing going to be o.k. in real world snow when they don't plow and I need to get to work (25deg. grade) or home (25deg. grade w/a left into my driveway!!! - turn plus giant hill!!!!!)? Am I going to leave it at the bottom and walk??? HELP
#191 of 567 2002 E430 4-matic by cocca Oct 30, 2005 (11:59 am)
I just posted above and have found another car and alternate to the RWD. A dealer has a 2002 E430 4-matic, w/33k miles, navigation, cd changer, leather heated seats, integrated phone, xenon lights w/washers for $33,500 w/another year on the 1yr/100k Starmark Warranty. It's dark blue w/beige inside.   Is that a good deal? Is it better for me than the RWD 2003 E320 above?   really, really -> Replies to this message: mark156 (Oct 30, 2005 12:58 pm)

Replying to: cocca (Oct 30, 2005 11:59 am) Cocca, I have a 2000 E430 sport RWD... and I've had trouble in the snow/ice even with traction control. I would think an 4x4 suv would work better for you. My 2002 ML500 is AWD and I can go anywhere at anytime, I feel invincible when driving it.   As you know, the 2002E-class is the 'previous' style. The 2003 is the new style and had a few teething pains. I think they came out with electric brakes on that model. Someone here will probably chime-in with the correct info.   Whatever you pick, with a 25 degree grade in snowy weather, it has to be an AWD vehicle of some type.   Mark

Replying to: miyme (Oct 29, 2005 12:12 am) Miyme, I just don't understand your offer. You made a higher than MSRP offer on a year-end 2005 unit and they wouldn't take it? You must be leaving out something. Sounds like your offer was very generous to me. From what I have seen, these cars on not pulling MSRP.   Let us know what you decide to do.   Mark Replies to this message: miyme (Oct 31, 2005 1:57 pm) murph5 (Nov 01, 2005 8:13 pm) mark156 (Nov 05, 2005 7:30 am) miyme (Nov 10, 2005 4:57 pm) and 2 more...

Replying to: miyme (Oct 31, 2005 1:57 pm) Good Luck. I'm in Atlanta and the dealerships here basically told me they wouldn't sell me a car, because they couldn't make money off of me. They wanted 10K over the value of the 2004 E320's that are breaking every 2K miles. I did the interview with TIME magazine regarding my experience, read it online at TIME.com and type in mercedes and it will pull up. The reporter was really nice, but, I still can't find a dealership that's fair. They still want that bogus $489 documentation fee, guess there are not enough educated consumers and they don't know what to do when they find one. Look at bimmers, I am.

Replying to: miyme (Oct 28, 2005 11:53 pm) You have your numbers mixed up. The "MSRP" could not have been $43888. Base MSRP on a 2005 E320 was $49220 including destination without any options. With the most common options like sunroof, CD, etc you are up in the low to mid fifties, and thats before taxes etc. Perhaps you are meaning "selling price". Otherwise, your numbers just don't make any sense and are certainly way below the actual MSRP.

Replying to: miyme (Oct 31, 2005 1:57 pm) Miyme, I was just over at Fletcher Jones in Newport Beach about a month ago. While my ML500 was being serviced, I looked over the lot and they have a huge inventory. I think they are known for the "highest" volume Mercedes dealer in the country.   So I'm thinking you meant to say "Invoice" instead of MSRP, right?   If Fletcher won't deal with you, there is a Mercedes dealer in Laguna Niguel and Hoehn Mercedes in Carlsbad and Penske Mercedes near Ontario (I think), so, you have a choice.   Good luck, Mark Replies to this message: miyme (Nov 10, 2005 4:57 pm) mark156 (Nov 26, 2005 9:36 am) miyme (Dec 27, 2005 3:50 pm)
