Replying to: jennykr (Aug 29, 2007 10:45 am) Also, make sure you are negotiating from Invoice price Up, not from Sticker price down. Use Edmunds to find out Invoice Prices based on your options. Also note that MB USA is offering dealers ***$3,000 Marketing Support*** (Incentives) so theoritically you should be able to negotiate a price UNDER invoice and the dealer still makes plenty of money. You might want to consider a 2008 model as an option. When I was shopping for 2007 vs 2008, the much higher residual values on the 2008 made for a lower monthly payment and better value. Good luck... |

Replying to: marcopolo1 (Sep 01, 2007 1:30 am) I read somewhere that a person with a credit score of above 700 should be able to get 0% APR (i.e. very very low money factor) Is this true? Or do the dealers always go by their schedule? Alex

Replying to: rocco50 (Sep 06, 2007 1:17 pm) Regarding 0% Financing, some auto makers offer this but I've never heard of the European car makers doing this. Better hurry up if you want a 2007! |

The best info on this board are actual deals, so here's mine. Black over mac w/ P1, heated seats, CD changer; MSRP $50,335. 33 months, 12K/yr, MF .0025, residual 65%, $0 down but inceptions/fees/1st month upfront for $2,100. I believe the MF is lower for a gasser but this was the base rate for the special residual of 65% on the diesel, which is great IMO. Monthly payment $710, which includes 7% tax. I went in offering $1K over invoice, but balked at a $735 monthly. Agreed to $700 monthly, coming out of their gross. Eventually they had to swap for my car in a distant zone with a $200 higher ad fee and $300 shipping. I ate $10 per month and they ate the rest. Believe they're in it with $300-400 gross when all is said and done. Last day of August. Frankly, I only see demand for the CDIs going up (which I think is reflected in the residual) so I'm pretty happy with the deal, all considered. |

Replying to: marcopolo1 (Sep 01, 2007 1:30 am) Has anyone taken a look a the offer MB is doing for sept. I'm considering the ML350 08 with the package below, but was wondering if MB would even negotiate this since the 08's are brand new and they are running this promo.

Replying to: nugi (Sep 10, 2007 10:41 am) Buying a 2008 this early in the season has some drawbacks --fewer units on the lot and dealers less willing to haggle. Basic supply vs. demand. If I were getting an ML now, I'd reseach invoice prices w/options I wanted then shop aggresively to find a dealer willing to deal with an "Invoice + Profit" mentality vs. "Discount off MSRP". I believe ordering a car does not subject it to the typical inventory expenses (flooring costs, etc.)which makes it a little more negotiable from a dealer's perspective. Also make sure you're educated with the best Money Factors your credit rating will buy and the lowest Residual Values for the lease term you're interested in. Dealers are notorius for trying to slip in a higher rate to unsuspecting buyers. |
