| I AM INTERESTED IN THE CHEAPEST POSSIBLE 2004 E320 ON THE EAST COAST. | |
|
I understand the 04's are starting to roll in and was wondering what people have been paying to get one. Thanks |
|
| Does anyone know where I can find the invoice prices on Euro delivery for the 03/04 E Class? Has anyone gotten xxx amount over the Euro delivery invoice or do dealers stick to Euro delivery MSRP? Thanks! | |
| We just took delivery of an E-320 for my wife. We'd ordered it back in July, before the 04 prices had been announced. However, we negotiated $700 over invoice. What hacks me off is a $600 charge for advertising that, I assume, MBUSA tacked on and that wasn't revealed to me in May. Further, we wanted European delivery for 6 Oct, but were told it wasn't possible before 16 Oct. My wife is a teacher and the week of the 6th was the only one we could get off. So, we cancelled our reservations. Get this: the car was built on 11 Sep!!!!! Germans build great machinery, but they're too damned regimented. No wonder they lost the war. | |
| Would you please email me the price figures.I could only find a price of 45,078 on the mbusa.com website which is the Euro Delivery MSRP not the invoice! Got the above title from an old Bugs Bunny episode! Thanks in advance,I would be forever in your debt! Conrgrats on your choice over the 04 530i it must have been a tough decision. | |

vicv - I believe the advertising fee on your invoice is a real cost to the dealer which they receive no part of. It's determined by the manufacturer and pretty standard. 330iii - As for European Delivery pricing...do you think you can negotiate below the 5% MSRP reduction? I'm just not sure how a dealer is compensated for the EDP. A flat fee? Same as as any other inventoried or ordered car but with a lowered invoice? |
|
| As a comparison BMW has a Euro Delivery confidential wholesale price and then a Euro Delivery MSRP check out eurobuyers.com.Paying MSRP whether it is for Euro Delivery or delivery at a US dealer to me does not cut it!For the dealer I believe all they do is the paperwork,they don't have to lay out cash,you must have the car financed or paid in full 30 days prior to Germany pickup,The dealer does not take it out of their dealer allotment or allocation.BMW does Euro Delivery deals for a negotiated profit that is added to the confidential wholesale price,The dealer may disagree and not budge from Euro Delivery MSRP but then you can always shop around for a dealer willing to give you a better deal. | |
| Did you really pay 700 over Euro delivery invoice?If so I would compensate you if you emailed me your dealer and price info.Sorry beggars such as myself can't be choosey! | |
| I love to drive a hard bargain! | |
|
Heh, it's okay to post prices and dealer names here. It's just not okay to post specific salesfolks names or specific contact information. No need to "compensate" anyone - LOL! |
