#7 of 567 Never another MB by jacarl May 24, 2003 (6:22 pm)
In October of 1994 we (my wife and I) purchased a new E320 from the local Mercedes dealer in Pompano Beach, Florida. We still own the car and have racked up 89,000 miles to date. Mechanically the car is sound and it still runs like new. However, based on our experience with the dealer and MB USA regarding a problem with the cars finish (the clear coat peeling) and separate incidents with the dealership we would never purchase another Mercedes automobile.   In October of 1999 the car’s clear coat started to bubble and peel. Although the car was no longer under warranty we felt that this was a factory defect. The dealer refused to do anything and we were forced to contact MB USA. The MB USA rep as a show “of good faith” authorized the repair of the peeling areas with a shared cost. The work was performed at the dealer’s body shop. Prior to leaving the car we were given an estimate of our share of cost and we signed the necessary paper work. It took the body shop two weeks to complete the car. On completion, while at the body shop, we discovered that our share of cost had risen by $300 due to “extra work”. We were not informed of this prior to picking up the car and the body shop management refused to release the car until the extra funds were paid. We had the local police department intervene and the car was released after we paid the original share of cost. Right now the entire car’s exterior is peeling, including the areas previously repaired.   There are other incidents with the dealership but I will not get into it. We plan to park the car, peeling paint and all, in the daytime in the Wal-Mart parking lot next to the dealership with a conspicuous sign. We will be purchasing another new vehicle soon and guess what? It will not be another Mercedes.

That is very unusual about the paint. Do you live where there is a lot snow and they salt the roads? Now our dealer in Athens, GA is awful. So we started to going to RBM of Atlanta and it may be 100 Miles out. But it is Absolutely worth it. They are the nicest people and they treat you with respect.

In response to benzowner. We live in South Florida, close to Ft. Lauderdale. No snow or salt used on the roads. We do not live that close to the ocean for the sea spray to be a factor.
#10 of 567 What is a good deal on 2003 E class? by bigrabbit May 31, 2003 (6:29 pm)
I read in anther website that it's possible to get a new E-class $3000 below invoice in Southern California, is it true?
#11 of 567 E Class Below Invoice by stlngls Jun 10, 2003 (1:35 pm)
Yes,   Check with Beverly Hills MB or Downtown MB. Work with the internet sales manager. You will find financing in the low 4's and prices $3,000 below invoice. Apparently their allotment of CL and S cars depends on their ability to unload tens to hundreds of C and E cars every month. Other dealers in So Cal will try to match their prices, but why not work with them--they are the lowest I have found in five months of shopping.
#12 of 567 NEW E320 Lease by martye320 Jun 10, 2003 (11:28 pm)
So after waiting years, I finally have an opportunity to lease one. The one I'm looking at has E2 package and CD Changer. Any tips for a good lease on this? Can I possibly get $3000 off with a lease? or is that only for finance. So far, I've been told that I have to pay 47k for this car in the lease, $1500 drive off, and $650 for 48 months. ONLY 10k miles a year too. Sounds to be kind of a rip off?
#13 of 567 New E320 Purchase by drew37 Jun 11, 2003 (4:47 pm)
I'm trying to get a feel for what I can expect to pay for a new E320 relative to invoice or MSRP in the West Palm Beach, Boca Raton area of southern Florida. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Is there any way you can post some pictures of your car? What you're describing is very unusual for any car, much less a Mercedes-Benz. Was your car garaged?   M
#15 of 567 What is the best deal on 2003 E 320 in DC by coo1 Aug 06, 2003 (8:30 am)
What was the best deal anybody got in the DC area on a 2003 E320? Does any dealer sell $3000 below invoice as mentioned in the post about the California dealer?
