Replying to: matcarol (May 07, 2007 9:00 am) All I know is that I would never buy one of these cars without the new diesel. It's the best engine they make, and has been for years - we finally get to buy them in this country, and the gasoline engine still sells better[???]. Once you've tried one, you should be convinced.   Right now, the difference between diesel and premium gasoline in the Northwest is 40-50 cents a gallon in favor of diesel [a complete reversal of recent history - it was always a mystery to me why diesel was so high relative to gasoline for so many years - the current situation makes more sense, based on how most refineries work]. That by itself is not a good reason, but it surely doesn't hurt.   Maintenance costs are probably close to a wash - no advantage to either engine these days. But the torque of the diesel, combined with the lower fuel consumption, is all the reason you should need...
#34 of 171 a good deal or not?? by matcarol May 08, 2007 (6:45 pm)
would 1000 below invoice for a r320cdi too much to ask? Replies to this message: lemondmbz (May 09, 2007 9:52 am) colby3 (May 14, 2007 8:56 am) bluebabe (May 23, 2007 6:52 pm) bluebabe (May 23, 2007 6:58 pm)

Replying to: matcarol (May 08, 2007 6:45 pm) Bought a 2007 Alpine Rain R350 base , with navigation added at the dealership (bought it for my wife to replace a previous car that was totaled) about a week ago. Negotiated down to $41700, about $1250 below Edmunds invoice price. They probably could have gone lower, but it was my 3rd trip to the dealer, and I didn't feel like haggling over a couple hundred dollars at that point.

#36 of 171 R320 CDI 0% for 72 Mths but only if pay MSRP. Can I do better?? by colby3 May 14, 2007 (8:53 am)
Replying to: gtli (Sep 23, 2006 7:50 pm) Should I be able to get something, anything, off the MSRP of the R320 CDI and still get the MB 0% financing for 72 months? Looking at black on black MB Tex with P1 and heated seats. They will do $1,500 above invoice without financing or 0% for 72 months if pay MSRP. If you do the math, the 0% is more "off" but they won't take an equivalent amount off if I pay cash. Should I push harder? The R doesn't seem very popular at all, we like it because it is diesel and think the interior configuration works well for us since we do not want a minivan - even if they are really nice. Looking to pull the trigger soon so any thoughts appreciated.
#37 of 171 Can rear view camera be added without navigation? by colby3 May 14, 2007 (8:56 am)
Replying to: lemondmbz (May 09, 2007 9:52 am) Would like rear view camera on R320 CDI but don't necessarily want P2 package and don't think dealer has what I want in any case. Can I have MB or after market add rear view camera after the fact?? Thanks. Replies to this message: bluebabe (May 23, 2007 6:52 pm)
#38 of 171 R500 by sascar May 20, 2007 (8:50 pm)
Bought R500 silver Metallic with #1 package, sunroof package and navi. Got it for 48200 + tax and 750 dest. Tested the 350 but felt sluggish. Wanted to try the Diesel but wife did not like the idea that not all the gas stations have the fuel for it. The 500 drives like a dream. It loves speed and feels very nice well into 3 digits. I dont like the navi system. My wife has the new Odyssey and Honda GPS is way, way better. Great buying experience, Pembroke Pines MB.

Replying to: colby3 (May 14, 2007 8:56 am) mercedes willnot add a rear view camera aftermarket.. it will cost about 3 thousand to get installed by a shop, and it may not be compatible fully with comand. rear center console and the parktronic are other options that are ONLY available as factory installs. there may be more.. call the part department at the dealer and ask them about parts you want installed.. the blue tooth phone option is great.. you do need a $300 part (receiver) to get it to work.. ask the dealer to throw it in when you are negotiating the car price.

#41 of 171 Recent Prices Paid by max22 Jul 07, 2007 (6:44 am)
I'm looking for either a New, or CPO R350.   I've found a 2006 R350 CPO with 13,000 miles, Sunroof, and Parktronic. Original list was $52,300, and the dealer is selling it for $39,925.   They also have several 2007 new ones that list for $49,940. They have the P1 package.   Has anyone bought a new one in the last 45 days, what has been the price paid? What do you think of the CPO deal?   Thanks!
