2008 R320 cdi $$ & problems by smokeriser

I have narrowed down my buying decision between the R320 & the ML320, diesels of course. Alpine rain, P02, heated seats, bluetooth and probably the panaromic sunroof. Would an offer of $ 52,000 for the "R" including destination be high or low? ALso, anbody have any problems with the R320??

I did it -- and love my R350! by spainhour66

I bought the Pewter R350 mentioned above. The end of the story is that they let me take the car home overnight -- showed it to the family (loved it) and did a morning routine in it.
 
When I went back to the dealership to do the deal, I went back over the paperwork and there was close to $1000 extra stuff (fees, taxes, whatever) in there, driving the purch price back to $49400 or so. I balked at this and the manager came back and said those are taxes -- how about we do the rate at 1.25%? "Sold!" I said.
 
The monthly payment ended up being $774, which was less than their initial offer, so I was pleased.
 
I've already driven the car close to 1500 miles (in less than a month -- no low mile lease for me!), taken it in for it's 1000-3000 mile no cost diagnostic checkup, and and had the compimentary car wash done at least 3 times so far! We love it!
 
I'm also tall -- 6'4" 240 -- and have had no problems with space. The R-class is so roomy -- it's huge inside! Plus, I really like the Sirius Satellite radio -- I havent listened to a CD or the regular radio since getting the car, and the Harmon Kardon audio system really pumps. Rear view camera? Love it. Panoramic roof? Love it. 3rd row? Love it. Navigation system? A first for me, and LOVE it. I drove it to Atlanta recently and it was so nice to program in where I needed to go and then just NOT THINK ABOUT IT. And the dealership? MB Of South Charlotte -- top notch/highest quality. I'd happily go back. Their service both before and after the sale has been fantastic.
 
Can you tell I like my R-Class?

I picked up my R320 CDI last night. What a ride. We were well prepared for the initial visit. We agreed on a 2008 R320 CDI with the P2 package, heating package, voice command, 6 cd and also the 7 seat package.. Price before all local taxes and registration and so on was $55k. The dealership was great. George our salesman covered it all. WE were determined to get the P2 package . Color selection was limited to our package, but we loved the Alpine Rain with Macadamia. It had been mentioned that the Zenon lighting was far superior to the stock lights, but I have no problem with them. So much room for so much stuff.

R350 Demo deal by ctdan

Have a deal on the table for CT dealer for a 2008 R350 demo model, has 6200 miles on it with: P2, 7 Seat, 6-CD, Heated Seats. Original invoice $55,845.
 
They will add RSE (at my request) for an out-the-door cost of 52,658. Looking at financing at the MB promo of 1.9%. When I asked about any other promotions like the $6k marketing support (per Edmunds TMV) I was told there is no such incentive.
 
Is $52,658 a decent deal for a demo model with all of the options mentioned above? By the way it would be the original warranty which is already used up six months & 6k miles.

You are ripped off by the damn CT dealer. I bought a complete new P2, 7 seats, heated seats.... on 50 miles, MSRP$56100, in Boston area herbchambers. I got a deal for $46k even.
go check their inventory from the web. They still a plenty of them. The 6000 market incentives is official from manufacturer to dealer, call the MB US headquarter in front of those jack ass CT dealer about this incentive.

Please help with R 350 deal by sagarwal

I'm being offered $7,000 off sticker on 08 R350 AWD P2, ipod, 7 seat option, 6 disc changer, heated front seats. MSRP is $56,170, dealer quoted $49,170 plus tax, title. $50 doc fee. I ALSO get 1.9% financing for purchase (I want to buy not lease). Deal is in TX. Second TX dealer willing to go $8500 off sticker but no 1.9% financing. Are these deals good considering 09 soon coming out and some people here getting up to 10k off? Thanks for any input.

Just picked up the car on July 2nd. The MSRP is also $56,170, AWD, P2, ipod, front heats, 6-CD, 7-Seats, I got the final deal (after a week of price haggling) for $44800. Yes, no 1.9%, I don't need finance anyway. You can find a lots of 0% credit cards transfer, why not finance with your own credits? Plus, from emunds latest July R350 quotes, 0.9/1.9% 'may' be combined with $6k rebate.
 
Anyway, don't be fooled by those TX dealer who is offering you only $8.5k off sticker. My first visit to my dealer was $10.5k off, then they came down to $11.5k off when we came to the deal.

Purchase deals but no lease deals! by a6_to_m35

Most are getting 10k off MSRP for outright purchases with the $6k dealer cash and an invoice deal. But the 6k incentive CANNOT be used for leasing.
 
As far as I know, there is only a $2k lease incentive. Can nayone confirm? I'm getting quotes from several dealers in the $650 range for a $56k car for 33 months, 53% residual and a .00075 money factor.

hey A6 to m35. DONT LISTEN TO THEIR LIES!!! i was recently in the market for an E-class or a R350. The E-class had 4k rebate and the R-class had 6k rebate. I ONLY LEASE my cars. The dealer said pick anything on the lot...being i already had a couple suv's....i went for the E-class. PLEASE DO NOT let them fool you...that 6k can be used on lease....i am living proof. while i was at the dealer..i saw with my own eyes couples coming in, NOT knowing about the 6k incentive...and thinking 5k of msrp was a steal! You should be able to get 11.5K off msrp. I purchased my E-class on last thursday, With EMPLOYEE pricing. My car msrp was 56k...got it employee pricing of 49k and MINUS the incentive of 4k...got a purchase price of 45k. GO to another dealer if they insisit 6k wont work on lease.
