#262 of 567 Re: Price paid in May 2006 for E350S Wagon [crocenzi] by donnymac Jun 01, 2006 (11:14 am)
Replying to: crocenzi (May 31, 2006 3:56 pm) I did the fax approach and basically told the dealers that the Carsdirect.com was the starting point for bids. I ended up buying at South Bay MB in Torrance, because they had a large number of the wagons in stock and were willing to compete on price. Other dealers, such as Beverly Hills, Caliber (in Anaheim) and Downtown LA Motors were all willing to beat the carsdirect.com price, so my guess is that you might be able to push them to more the $11k below MSRP. I don't know if the $5k in dealer cash that was available on wagons during May is still available in June, however.

Replying to: jaybird12 (May 31, 2006 7:10 pm) There is no benefit to you to making a "down payment" on a lease. Assuming the money factor you're getting is below a 5% APR equivalent (take the money factor and multiply it by 2400 to get your APR), you're better off keeping your $2500, putting it in a high yield money market fund and paying an extra $100 a month over the next 27 months. Better yet, push the dealer to drop the $2500 from the purchase price.

Replying to: crocenzi (May 31, 2006 3:56 pm) Judging by the Carsdirect.com price, it looks like the $5000 in dealer cash on the E350 wagon remains available for June (presumably in anticipation of the arrival of the 2007 models in July or August). You can search South Bay MB's new car inventory and they're part of AutoNation, so you can probably push them to the lowest price you're gonna get. See if you can get $12k off the MSRP or $7500 off the "invoice." Good luck.
#265 of 567 Deal on 2002 E320 CPO 47K Mi by meliru Jun 03, 2006 (4:52 am)
Been proposed a deal on a 02 E320 MB Certified pre-owed with 47K miles. The vehicle was placed into service June of 02 so its got a month left on the original warranty. The options are as follows. Purchase the vehicle uncertified for $20,300 or certified for $21,500 with the 12 mo 100K warranty, another option is to add the 2 yr CPO warranty for a total of 3 yr 100K miles but the price jumps to $23,595. Financing is at 4.9 for 60 mo through MB financial. Your thoughts and opinion on this deal would be helpful
#266 of 567 2006 CDI Price by johndix60 Jun 04, 2006 (6:49 am)
Bought a new 2006 CDI with metallic paint and premium package for $49.6K. Buying the inline diesel was a factor.

#268 of 567 Extended Warranty deal by mynextcar Jul 07, 2006 (11:23 am)
I am considering buying an extended warranty for my 2002 E320. I am concerned about buying from 3rd party companies. If anyone got one, please let me know what's your experience? Is extentded warranty the same as MB's manufacture warranty? Thanks
#269 of 567 Lemon vs not .. lease vs not question... by rajee Jul 24, 2006 (2:23 pm)
I have a deal on an 06 MB E350 with premium package and only 600 miles for about $41500. I'm in NJ the car's in FL. I would have to pay for transport, taxes and other costs so realistically I'm looking at 44,500.... The hitch is that this was a manufacturer buy back with a transmission problem - which is now repaired... we're talking a 'lemon' I guess ....and I gotta shell out 40k or so from the bank account because there's no attractive financing offers right now through the dealer (it's not MB)   The question is - I intend to keep it for 5-6 years at least... Will this lemon issue really affect me as a private seller 6 years from now or should I jump on this deal ...   In comparison, I see 06 E350 with about 10k miles (still 'new' really...) for a little more... about 43500 but hoping to haggle that down .... I would think this would cross the 46k mark with fees and stuff ... But this would qualify for 2.9% financing right now (the other one does not ebcause it's not an MB dealer) ... This car is in NJ itself so that saves me transportation costs and gives me in person haggling/test drivability...(is that a word lol)...   I'm thinking I have no clue which to go for ...   I'm also thinking the one that can be financed can also likely be leased ... if I want to take things easy on my wallet for now ... with the intent to purchase the car at the end of the lease .... What money factor and residual should i look for? I was told .0023 and 70% for 27 months on brand new cars ...   The other question is ... does the car in NJ have the Nav (premium package or not) ...the online ad says yes but the guy on the phone sounded confused as all hell so that's not helping me! ...   PLEASE HELP ... (I think when I put it on paper the second one is more logical hahaha but the gut was leaning towards the first one initially)...
#270 of 567 E350 negotiated sale price by phil_in_socal Jul 25, 2006 (5:26 pm)
you should be getting great deal on 06 e350 since the 07's are just about here.   shoot for 15% or more off msrp, anyting less isn't a good deal. wagon should be offering more discounts.   work with the fleet manager to get the best deal, you can usually get in touch with the fleet manager by asking for quote online.
