Yes I received the 7% discount from the EDP. No dealerships that I called around were even thinking about discounting the 07 Bluetec, most of them have them on back order and they are sold already or they are only receiving stock without the options which they are asking MSRP. I spoke with a guy at my bank he suggested waiting four to five months before buying If I wanted below MSRP. I got a great loan rate 3.9% so I couldn't wait. Here is the breakdown I hope it helps those who would like to try it. The total price with all options is $57380. With the 7% discount which was $4017, it brought the price down to $53360. This was the P2 package with the additional panaramic sunroof. It includes delivery to states and all customs fee the choice of my delivery dealership after it arrives to Jacksonville Fl. The only draw back is the time I have to wait after picking it up in Germany which is about 6-8 weeks.

I bought two 2006 E320 CDIs on July 31, 2006 in basic black with Premium package. List price was a shade under $55k. With just a little haggling, I got each for $47,500. This included a $2,000 per car rebate from Mercedes Benz Financial.

Can you be my friend? j/k
 
Addblue is that chemical that is used to "detoxify" the exhaust. The downside to owning a Bluetec is that Addblue must be refilled periodically. I prefer the CDI.
 
U.l.s.d. is slightly rasing the price of diesel where I live (south Fl/ cutler ridge)being the most convenient station is selling it for $2.55 in the mornings and $2.59 in the evenings. I personally don't like that place.

Diesel Fuel nozzle by klausk

I own a 2005 E320 CDI. Great car. Today I went to a Shell station, where I have re fueled before, but the fuel nozzle did not fit into my fuel tank restrictor anymore. With other words it was to thick. I asked the attendant about what happened here? I don't know, you are the first one to have a problem. So I went to another Shell station, same problem, then I went to a 3rd Shell station, and that one had the skinny nozzle which fit into my fuel filler neck. Can anybody shed some light on this problem, also does anybody have an idea about removing the restrictor in the fuel filler neck.

Does anone have experience using biodiesel in a CDI? I know all about Willie Nelson - I'm asking about people with direct experience of their own. Thanks.

I asked the question about BIO Diesel when I picked up my E320
last year in Germany. They said: NO Bio Diesel. When I asked why not, they answered that Bio Diesel would interact with the plastic like the fuel tank. I was not quite happy with the answer, so I wrote to MBUSA and their answer was: only 5% Bio Diesel was approved. There was no explanation on why not. Needless to say, since I am still in warranty, I stay away from Bio Diesel.

Topic rename? by shipo

As the 2007 E-Class diesel has dropped the "E320 CDI" moniker in favor of "E320 BLUETEC", should this discussion be renamed to "Mercedes-Benz E-Class Diesels"?
 
Best Regards,
Shipo
