First time MB owner by nace818

Hi, I am new to this board. I wish I had checked in before I bought my 2008 C300. some of you guys paid for a new one, what I paid for mine.(about $29,900). My dealer wouldn't budge, But after i drove it, I was in love and couldn't wait. It has only 20,000 miles on it and even smells new. A couple of others in my area were all going for about the same price, so I thought it was OK. anyway, I love this car and I am not going to let the price bother me too much.(I hope!). By the way it is a red over black Sport model.Wish me luck.

On the Hunt for a C300 4matic Sport by djhitman3am

Hey all, hoping for some help here. I'm from the Chicagoland area. My girl's looking to buy a C300 SPORT 4matic soon. The only features she cares about really are:
  
- iridium silver exterior (preferably) & dark interior
- 4matic
- heated seats
- SPORT appearance
  
I see many of you have posted that there's a $4000 incentive for the 09 models. She'd also be interested in a similarly equipped 08 Certified Pre-Owned model, but neither of us know SQUAT about buying used cars or realistic used car pricing. What are some realistic good prices for the new 09 or a used CPO 08? Would something along the lines of $30k AFTER tax be realistic for the 09? THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!

Hi -
 
Sounds like a good deal. What was sticker on it and how did you get the price down? Was it over the internet or what?

got it! by shinakuma

Ok guys, I got the car yesterday and it was a done deal, as quoted. I'll post some of the details here so hopefully it can help you out also...
 
2009 C300
 
Options
057 - Ipod Integration
413 - Panorama Roof
768 - 18" AMG Wheels
P02 - Premium Package II
320- Multimedia Package
427 - 7 Speed Automatic
 
MSRP of $44,150 the selling price of the vehicle I got was $35,225.
 
Zero Down
 
Since this is a lease, in finance, I opted for their up-sell of Lease Excess Wear and Tear and Tire and Wheel Protection, I had a previous BMW lease and really got hurt by those 2 so went for them.
 
Excess Lease Wear and Tear Plan for 3 years - $1,195 (negotiated down to $599)
Road Hazard Tire and Wheel for 3 years - $1195 - (negotiated down to $695)
 
I did not email them initially, I just looked up the internet team on the internet and called in told him I am ready to buy and if their number can match or beat I'll be in. I emailed him the numbers I was given which were from the nearest competing dealership, until I got the selling price to $35k
 
Since it was a 2009, not a 2010 the (.00173) money factor special was not eligible but after going back and forth he eventually got an OK from his desk manager to give me a money factor that was also a special at .00217 which is called a Mercedes Benz Ambassador Program Lease, dealers have these but in limited stock. So I went in the next day and the car already had a sold sign on it with my name.
 
If you can find any 09s in stock now is the time to get them (4k incentive for C300 and 5k incentive for C350) and if the dealer has any ambassador leases that drop your MF, left to use, try to get it. They need to clear these out and will, just have to negotiate hard for them.
 
BTW 2010 has different side turn signals and the biggest difference is on option package 320 (the multimedia package) on 2009s the package includes Logic 7 Surround 12 speakers, it is not included on the 2010s!

I want to preface this by saying I absolutely love the exterior of the C300 and did test drive it prior to buying my Lexus (IMO, much more bang for the buck as far as interior and packages). But yes, I would look at the CTS. The CTS is much more luxurious than the Benz on the inside. Right now the CTS is only available in a sedan, but a coupe is coming out for 2010. Depending on your price range, also consider the CTS-V. It has a Corvette block engine (LS3), 6.2L V8 with 500+hp (sorry, I have to run or I'd find the exact number). I can give you more specifics about the CTS later if you want. You can email me from my profile.

thank you for the input. Yes the CTS is very nice inside,,, would you go for a 2009 or wait for a 2010. I hold on to my cars for at least 6-7 years and only put on about 5000 miles or less a year. what about GM reliability?
