California is the most aggressive State as far as pricing for a new Mercedes-Benz, because they have 44 Dealerships to compete - especially SoCal and they outsell all other States by far. But the State Government knows about it and they don't allow to sell cars to other States, unless you pay sales tax (which is the highest in the country over 10%). In Oregon you pay more for the car, but you have no sales tax. However - legally you have to pay sales tax of your residence (where you live). You need to convince the Dealership to sell it to you. If it's a lease - forget it - no Dealership will go for it. If it's a purchase - they may go for it, but you have to pick the car in person and they will give you a ONE WAY ticket to drive it back so you can register the car where you live on your own. If you can save thousands of dollars - then it may be worth to drive or fly to Los Angeles to pick it up. Try to contact Beverly Hills, Downtown LA Motors, WI Simonson and Penske. You can contact all of them (and make sure to explain situation and put your phone #) at www.BenzOnly.com

Thanks for your response, it really helped. I called up all the dealers today, couple of them had '09 C300 and will let me know their offer tom.I am not sure if they can provide me the ticket to drive one-way. They were talking about shipping it to me for which i will have to pay around $600-$700.
The best offer i have got till now on C300 is about 9k off which sounds good to me.

You could fly down and drive it back home. You should be able to get dealer plates or temporary plates to take the vehicle to your home state.
I have bought MB from Downtown LA Motors, MB Southbay in Torrance. Southbay had some good prices but the personnel have changed. My friend recently bought a 2010 from MB Calabasas. He received some good quotes from MB Long Beach and Hoehn Motors in Carlsbad.
Edmunds has a list of dealers by state. I used E-mail each time I purchased it is a lot easier. You can build your car on the dealers site and request a quote.

I'm glad that my advice helped. If you call to Dealership in SoCal - always ask for Fleet or Internet manager, as it will speed up the process, because they have more "teeth" at the Dealership to give away cars at low prices and generally more familiar with out-of-state deals. Just don't take too long, becuase 09 are running out. The good news is: most people in So California lease and 2010 C-Class leases better than 09 - that's why they still have some.

Appreciate it if anyone could share info on prices/deals they are getting on the 2010 C300 4Matic.
I'm based in Colorado and looking to lease. Travelling to another state to get a good deal is not a problem.
Thanks in advance.

Destination charge of $875 from factory in Germany to any Dealership in the USA is not negotiable. Because Dealer has to pay for it. To make it fair: every Dealer pays the same price, no matter where they are located and no matter on what model it is. For example: it's a lot cheaper to deliver to Los Angeles (right at the port) than to Colorado - where you have to pay extra for trucking, but the charge stays the same $875.
However, you can negotiate the whole selling price. Don't try to concentrate on some fees. Always try to concentrate on the bottom line - the total out of pocket. You can request multiple quotes from any MB Dealer in any State here link title also check specials, invoice and any other info in regards to C-class. However, Dealer cash incentives may vary from State to State.
