#63 of 440 Pricing Info for E class by siulobow Feb 16, 2004 (5:23 pm)
Hi folks,   As far as I know, Mercedes-Benz usually doesn't offer any discount for any cars. Today, I just went to a MB dealer in Jersey. They offer me $3000 off from MSRP. Does anyone have any idea why? Does MB start to offer discount right now again? Thanks!

Relatively speaking, the 2003 sounds like a better deal. It's better equiped and only $9,000 more than a three year older car. The 2000 sounds overpriced by $5,000+. Look at it this way, if you could buy the 2003, drive it for three years and sell it for $9,000 less than you paid for it, you'd have made a hell of a deal.   My guess is that the 2003 stickered for around $55k and was probably bought for around $52k.
#65 of 440 Purchase Price E320 4 Matic by parfive9346 Mar 11, 2004 (1:06 pm)
Yes, it's true. The price of the 04 E320 4 matic can go over 60k. I ordered mine back in late Oct 03. Black w/Ash leather interior B-Xenon headlights Rear Seat package(seats fold down) Premium Pkg w/power rear sunshade, side sunshades, active ventilated front seats, driving dynamic front seats, command system w/voice control and navigation system, cellular telephone, CD changer, premium sound system. Sticker Price. $60,120. Paid $56,923 Purchased from Feldman Imports in Bloomington MN. (That's a suburb of Minneapolis) To much sticker shock to buy the V8. I had to choose between the big engine and the options. The options won out. Besides, my hot rod days are long over. The V6 is pretty strong and so far gets decent gas mileage.
#66 of 440 Need some info on used 320 MB wagon markups by kwell May 01, 2004 (11:27 am)
I am planning to buy either a used 2000-2001 or 2002 e320 wagon. I prefer to buy from a Mercedes dealer to avail myself of the Starmark and 2.9% financing.   I am getting very familiar with the inventory of these vehicles within a 100 miles of my home.*Thru browsing of dealer pre-owned website inventories.   My question is this-Is there a "standard" used car markup that dealers apply to their inventory? 20% -30% what?   I am trying to gather info that will allow me to know what "give" there is on used car pricing when I go to negotiate.   If there is a 30% markup will the dealer give a third or half of that back in a negotiation?   I have the time and money to wait for the right deal-but I am at a loss as to how to figure the margins the dealer may have to play with on their used car inventory.   Help!

I can't speak for Mercedes dealers, but I am contemplating trading my 2002 S2000 for a 2004 Acura TL. The dealership (I know the owners) has been very open about the deal. The difference between what they would give me for the car ($22,500) and what they would put it on their lot for after a complete inspection and certification ($25,900) works out to about 15% gross mark-up. However, they claim the cetification process costs them nearly $1,000, which would reduce their net markup to more like 10%   They also sell Mercedes and indicated the proportions are about the same. However, I also shopped the S2000 around to a few other Honda delaerships, including the one I bought it from and they were all offering me less than $22,500 for it, so perhaps the average gross markup from dealers that low ball trade ins is more like 20-25%, less the cost of certification / Starmark.

Replying to: habitat1 (May 02, 2004 5:14 am) Thanks.   Frankly I was hoping the margins were a little larger-allowing for more wiggle room.   Anyone else out there want to weigh in?
#69 of 440 Looking For A 2004 E500 by bondguy1 May 30, 2004 (8:53 pm)
I went to a local dealer today. Looked at the 2004 E500. He told me that starting in 2005, included maintenance won't be included for free anymore up to 50K miles. He also told me I could get the car for $1,000 over invoice. He took list price with options and took 7% off...then added the $1,000 over. Is this a good deal on a E500? I don't know what to do because the 05's are coming in sometime in August. I have no idea with this car...let me know if this sounds like a gret deal or not? Thanks in advance.

Replying to: bondguy1 (May 30, 2004 8:53 pm) Besides the change in maintenance, are there any other changes to the '05 that you or others have heard? If the '05's are unchanged, the deal sounds reasonable as the resale won't take as much of a beating.
#71 of 440 E500 Price for 2004- bondguy by weldone99 Jun 09, 2004 (5:19 am)
Considering the time of the year, it appears that the price is $500 high. I purchase a E320 ordered Jan 12 for April 1st delivery for 6% discount without any add on markup.
#72 of 440 e320 2002 wagon pricing by kwell Jul 08, 2004 (10:23 am)
I posted earlier looking for guidance on used pricing.   I did buy a 2002 e320 wagon last weekend. The "STICKER PRICE" WAS 42M   Paid $ 36.9K.   I like the car and it seems in excellent condition.   Hope this info helps others.   B
