#150 of 172 Re: Dealer demo 2009 R350 with 55 miles [smilingbuddha] by jayrider Sep 20, 2009 (7:01 am)
Replying to: smilingbuddha (Sep 19, 2009 9:00 pm) 55 miles is a new car -- hardly a demo. How could the warranty start in feb ? The answer is that they bought it at auction from some dealer who dumped it for financial reasons perhaps. Review the carfax and find out where the car came from. They could make it cpo which would restore the warranty a bit.
#151 of 172 2007 R350 CPO by johnwang378 Sep 22, 2009 (7:28 pm)
Bought a 07 R350 on labor day weekend. 29K miles, 4Matic, Premium 1 pkg (panorama sunroof, Harmon Kardon, etc), navigation, and Buetooth. It has 2.5 year warranty including 1 year from CPO.   I paid $32K OTD and got 4.7% finance for 60 months. I am in SF bay area so the tax itself is 10%.   Dealer try to sell another 2-year 10K mile warranty for additional $2500. Shall I go for it?

#152 of 172 2008 R320 CDI by sprinttdi Sep 22, 2009 (11:41 pm)
Recently purchased a 2008 R320 CDI with 38k miles. They were origianlly asking 38k, I was able to get OTD $34kish (haggler I am), white/black, Dallas, Tx area. Most dealers I spoke with were all asking high 30's to low $40's. I almost lost the deal once, or at least was "told" someone already had a down payment. Called back later to speak with someone else and the deal apparently fell through. This was NOT from a MB dealership and the only one on their lot.   I locked in 3.7% financing though my credit union (Randolf Brooks Federal Credit Union) for 66 months! Best I found at the time. High miles for a 2008 but who cares for a diesel? Does not have the panoramic roof but not a requirement. Has basically everything else. I did not pick up a warranty just yet, will run the rest of the 50k manufactures warranty and purchase an extended from my credit union at that time.   Looks to be the best deal I have found all together! Happy hunting. Not many around these days and sellers were very quick to point this out. Regards. Replies to this message: heris (Oct 23, 2009 8:06 pm)

Replying to: johnwang378 (Sep 22, 2009 7:28 pm) It is worth purchasing the extended warranty. One mechanical/electrical problem and you'll easily out spend the cost of your warranty three times over. Mercs are notoriously expensive to maintain. I'd recommend it. I think you got a good deal on the car. Don't short change yourself on the coverage.

Replying to: mbr350 (Sep 23, 2009 11:20 am) Thanks for your suggestion, mbr350. I checked edmunds true maintain cost and they put ~$2000 repair per year after warranty. I need think twice about the extended coverage. Anyway, I very enjoy my MB r350 so far. I can get 24+ mpg in highway. A great car!

Replying to: johnwang378 (Sep 22, 2009 7:28 pm) Are you saying another 2 year 100K or do you mean exactly what you're typing: 2 year, 10,000, as in ten thousand mile warranty for $2,500 dollars? If so, BS for 10K miles. Also, he can do far better on that price and mileage. I would have gotten a far better deal btw. Last year, I bought a dealer's demo 2008, never titled with under 11K miles, with the extended 100K warranty from the dealer for an additional $800 dollars. My out the door price on my R320 CDI, P2, with Bluetooth, white, MB hex mats, 2 Invision DVD's with four headsets made for Mercedes Benz and color matched to my vehicle's interior link title, Ipod, Harmon-Kardon, and more... $42K even out the door.

Replying to: heris (Sep 25, 2009 8:38 am) I have a correction on my post. I think I have the P1 package now that I think about it. I have a sunroof, not the pano. I don't have navigation. I have a phone, aluminum wheels, six seats.... I can't remember all of the packages actually now. Electric seats, and power liftgate.... I also paid $42,200. I forgot to mention the videos before when I've posted because they weren't the MB brands. These are the kind that aren't drilled in the seats, but look like they were born in the MB. They look BETTER than MB brand and are more functional. Even the MB employees like the Invision brand better than the MB brand video players from what I hear. Anyway, these are BEAUTIFUL... and pricey to have installed; but you can put them in another vehicle and Invision will color match them for free to your NEXT vehicle if you call them directly, but MB doesn't want you to KNOW that! Ask me how I know that.
#157 of 172 R350 Sunroof by tmarie26 Oct 20, 2009 (6:42 pm)
I have the panoramic roof on my R350. I just bought this 2006 car used and am so far really enjoying it. The headlights are awful in the normal setting on dark roads so I need to do something about that. Also, every once in awhile I hear what sounds like a sliding metal noise under the car. I've heard it a few times when my son gets out and slams his door shut. Not sure what that could be. ??   Anyhow, my car has the glass roof/sunroof and has the sliding screen cover. I get AWFUL wind noise from the roof when it is open. The roof was a very attractive feature in my opinion when buying the car. Of course, I bought it on a rainy day and it rained the first 10 days I had the car so I had never really tested the roof in a driving state. Anyhow, I can't carry on a conversation or hear my radio at all when it's open. Does anyone else have this problem? I am finding very few places that say they carry a deflector and I'm not even sure this will solve the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions or have you had this issue and corrected it? Thanks so much! Replies to this message: jayrider (Oct 23, 2009 1:46 pm)

Replying to: sprinttdi (Sep 22, 2009 11:41 pm) You bought 'my' car. I love mine. I don't know what power package you bought and options, but no matter, it sounds like you still got an OK deal. I would have done the same on buying that car. Buy the warranty... and haggle it down, too. You should be able to get it for around $800. =D   My favorite features are the gear shift, auto phone sync, power lift gate, power seats, and the POSITION of the cruise; and well most everything on the steering column. It's la basic Mercedes with just enough perks to be luxury. And I love the back trunk space. Make sure you buy the hex mat for the trunk. It's INVALUABLE.   This SUV is like a modern wagon. I just love it. I am not toting four kids and their friends anymore, so I don't need a van. This is just perfect since my kiddos now drive. I just need the ability to haul those that live in our home at one time when we go somewhere as a family in one vehicle... which is rare.   Here's a link to a site that makes a decent Hex Mat for the R-Class. Congratulations on your great deal.   link title
