2010 C300 Sport 4-Matic Sedan with MSRP of US$48,333.00 including the delivery charge plus options. Got 11% discount, which brought it down to US$5,300.00 under MSRP. How's that !!! Have to wait 2 months, but don't mind, since I'm getting the car I really want. Options: Premium 1 Premium 2 Multimedia Keyless Go AMG 18" 5-Twin-Spoke Wheels Harman Kardon Sound System Rear Deck Spoiler MB Tex Upholstery Aluminum Trim Capri Blue Metallic Paint They also included these for free: 1.- Service A 2.- Service B 3.- All-Season Floor Rubber Mats 4.- Set of Wheel Locks Did I get a good deal ??? |

I am looking to purchase a 2010 Mercedes C300 Sport with premium 1 in Northern California. Does anyone know what about the best price would be? If I consider a 2009 model what discount difference should I expect from the 2009 to the 2010? Is there still marketing support for the 2009 or even the 2010? Thanks everyone

Walked into the dealership today after reading these blogs and test drove the c300. Been looking at the 328i b/c I had a 2006 that I loved. Wanted to see what the c300 was like and enjoyed it a lot. Still doesn't have the sportiness that the 328i has as there is a delay when you accelerate, but is definitely finished off nicer. (Still bothered by the fake leather, but that's another story) I know BMW does it too, but not on a car with an msrp of $41,770! Anyhow...thought I would post for other folks my results...so here goes: 2009 Silver/ Black interior automatic premium 1 burl wood multimedia package ipod integration kit total msrp: $41,770 Drove it, liked it..after 20 minutes of invested time, told the salesman that I wasn't interested unless I could get it for the type of price that I had seen others had received at Laguna Mercedes and Anaheim Mercedes. I told him I wanted $9500 off msrp. He said he would go check and was gone all of 5 minutes before returning with $9000 off for a total of $32,770 + tax etc. Can not get 2.9 financing with this, but I am using credit union, where I get some discounts on points. I have a feeling that I could have worked them down some more, but this was all of 30 minutes and totally painless. FYI- they also showed me the "invoice" from the back (if you believe those things are the "invoice") and it showed $38,995 as their purchase price for the vehicle. With a $4000 +$5000 from Mercedes, they aren't really having to deal anything off of their profit margin. It looks like a better deal for them too! Good luck!

In the Mercedes - you need to keep your foot on the pedal. You can use the accelerator pedal to go faster or slower - just by applying more or less pressure to the pedal - the same like in Formula 1. If you need to accelerate - just put pressure and hold - DO NOT release, as most people are used to dropping the pedal after a few seconds. If you want full throttle acceleration (For example to pass another car) - DON"T BE AFRAID TO FLOOR IT completely to the floor and HOLD IT - don't drop. In the few seconds every BMW will be behind you. Try it yourself. Once you get used to Mercedes driving you will not be able go back to any other car. Invoice of the car with MSRP $41,770 is exactly $39,507. You can see it for yourself here mercedes-benz invoice calculator, just enter "0" in the gas guzzler tax, because C-class does not have it. So the difference is $488 he showed you some BS charges. That's why he gave you $9,000 off instead of $9,500. But anyway the deal is excellent. 2 years from now your car may be worth the same what you paid for a brand new one! Hope it helps.

Replying to: storm10 (Nov 23, 2009 10:09 am) Thanks for the info about the acceleration....I will test drive again and make sure that I am not dropping the pedal. I think I've over done looking at these blogs now b/c I was looking at the consumer reviews and the things people have problems with start to freak me out! One person complained about the paint on the c300 not holding up.....that worries me a little but I try to keep it in perspective.. Wish me luck!
