#69 of 118 Any recent buyers? by mikestevens Apr 30, 2005 (5:34 am)
I was wondering if anyone in the snow belt has recently purchased a new SLK. I'm in the Chicago area, and am finding dealers are pretty much sitting on the MSRP. This is a markedly different situation than with the Z4, where you can buy below invoice with dealer incentives. I prefer the SLK, but the price difference is probably going to push me into the BMW...

Replying to: espresso1 (Mar 22, 2005 10:44 pm) Advertising "charge" is common. Generally, it is requested by dealers in an area and it goes to dealers' ad agency or ad group composed of dealers. The fee cannot be imposed by the factory (would be illegal). "dealer doesn't get the money" only the most technical, unrealistic sense. M-B might be different but I doubt it.
#71 of 118 Is this the price? by lizard1 May 20, 2005 (7:53 am)
I just put in a deposit for a slk 55 at my dealer. It was placed on order for some one else but he dropped out. With all the options it included, the vehicle is listed for about $67,000 on mbusa.com. My sales man is quoting me the ball park of around $61-63 k. Is he just blowing smokes or can it possibly be truth? What's everyone experiences with ordering a vehicle? Is the price they quote you in the beginning ends up being the price at delivery?

Replying to: lizard1 (May 20, 2005 7:53 am) I had a SLK350 on order from a dealer I purchased my CLK from last year. I then stopped at another dealer just to see what they had in stock. They had a SLK55 coming in which was a cancelled order. The 55 came in a few days later, and they called me to see if I wanted it. They refused to negotiate anything off of msrp. In the couple of hours that I tried to decide which car to get, they sold the car. A few days later, the SLK350 came in that I ordered, and I was able to negotiate a couple of thousand off msrp. Anything off on the SLK55 is definitely a great deal.

I just purchased a SLK350. Looked at the Boxster, but the look of the MB really changed my opinion. I wanted a 6 speed, but the prospects of getting one here on LI was nearly impossible. Shopped several dealers, but landed at MB of Huntington. The MSRP was 53,235. Paid 50,500. Around $1,000 over invoice. Wondered what others had paid for theirs.....

Replying to: lizard1 (May 20, 2005 7:53 am) I paid 1000 over msrp for mine at Mercedes Benz of South Bay (California). A good deal when I saw 3 - 4K over at other dealers. If you can get 4 - 6K under on a 55SLK its a steal!?! Why?   On a limited production vehicle, 1000 - 1500 to the U.S. for the current year's production. You could buy and re-sell on e-bay for a profit. Replies to this message: lizard1 (May 26, 2005 12:59 pm) amgnut (May 26, 2005 4:31 pm)

Replying to: amgnut (May 25, 2005 7:41 pm) thanks for the replies. The paper work from the dealer stated the price quote as ABOUT $63,000 so I'll probably end up paying pretty close to MSRP anyway!!.Does anyone know how much is the typical taxes and tags fee? 1/2 grands?? It'll worth whatever it is. I have a 350 right now and can't wait till July when that 55 comes in. The reviews on it has been spectacular. Replies to this message: amgnut (May 26, 2005 4:31 pm)

Replying to: lizard1 (May 26, 2005 12:59 pm) Tax in So Cal = 8.25%. My registration was $ 504. You will have to go thru the finance office to get out the door. You should consider the extended warranty if you plan to keep the vehicle outside the factory 4 year warranty. Repairs could kill you. Mine had the tranny replaced with less than 2K miles (see other SLK board). I also went with lo jack & the wheel protection. You can add $4500 to the total price quickly.
#78 of 118 services by lizard1 May 27, 2005 (2:43 pm)
This is my first time owning a Benz. What's the maintanance cost like? Are the scheduled services free? if not, what's the typical charges for them? How are Mercedes compare to other brand when it comes to service/reapir costs?
