#73 of 171 Re: Here's the Deals I worked for a 2008 4Matic R-320 CD I & R-350 [joeslacker] by heris Jul 18, 2008 (2:28 am)
Replying to: joeslacker (Jul 17, 2008 10:10 pm) Joe, the R320 we did buy was never titled. We are the first owners, however, it was used as a courtesy car by Centennial Imports in Pensacola, Florida. I was told that only the service manager drove it. Who knows? I have to really commend this company because they advertised that this car was blue tooth ready, but the cradle was missing. They actually sent me a brand new cradle after the sale. You know after you sign the paperwork they didn't have to do squat, but they did. They also included the large MB rubber hex mat that covers the back 'trunk' space with the back seats down. This thing is awesome! Of course, it also has the cover, etc. inside.   As for the 2009's coming out. Are you kidding me? I'm going to check this out. Who knows what deals may be out there?   Last month, we bought an '08 Hyundai Elantra, too. Darling Husband was going to drive this to work for the next year and we would then pass it down to our 16 year old when he's able to drive alone. The Elantra was getting 32 mpg, which is a might bit better than the 15 mpg he was getting on our Tundra. (Gotta' keep the truck for the boat! It's a shame this R-Class couldn't pull a boat.) Anyway, two weeks after the deal, the rebates came out for the '09 Sonata, a step up in size (like the Accord) and much better looking. I got a deal on the '09 Sonata and had worked such a great deal on the Elantra, that trading up cost us only $2,800 out the door. DH did it because this car has a power package, blue tooth, and some other gizmos that the Elantra did not. Considering it all, we ended up buying a brand new Sonata '09, with popular equipment group, mud guards, blue tooth for $16,700 out the door!!!!!   I told you this because I'm just 'wondering' if a deal could be worked on an '09 if it would be worth it.   You're right about the cost of diesel and the extra $1,000 bucks. I've done the math and for what I drive and knowing when we'd trade, I should have gone with the R-350, I do believe. Plus, it would have been quieter. I just don't know if it would have the same pick up as the R-320, which is awesome on the Interstate to drive. I know it's no sports car, but it has more power than the Sienna I was driving.   I hate to jerk DH around, but I'm going to check out the '09's and see if they'd be worth the hassel to trade this year. DH told me that he would take this one next year.... so, we shall see. Replies to this message: joeslacker (Jul 18, 2008 6:27 am) p2potter (Aug 11, 2008 7:40 am) heris (Nov 18, 2008 4:50 am)

Replying to: heris (Jul 18, 2008 2:28 am) On the second thought of the R350 $39,900 out of the door offer you got, doesn't that suggest you should be getting a brand new 2008 R320 for additional 1000 bucks if there is one available with the same options. That means you are paying $42.2k for an untitled but 11k miles versus a brand new might just cost $41k. My personal thought is that $39.9k was really an awesome deal you should have grabbed. All the MB dealers I have visited all have those, so called manager or executive vehicles or loaner, untitled but high mileage. I am not sure if I should say "abused" but it's for sure no way to compare with a brand new one. My best offer for this R320 might be around $36k or $37k out of the door given a brand new one is possible to get around $41k.   Yes, for 2009 version they dropped the R350 RWD (was priced start around $42k) and increase the R350 AWD from $44k to $47k, and the diesel stays the same at $46k. That again means the 2008 R350 $39.9k offer you got now might have a sticker price of $56k plus tax (~$59k out of the door).   There are slightly different between 09 and 08, but mechanical wise, they are all the same.

Hi,   Edmunds indicates that there is an $8000 Marketing Support (cash from manufacturer to dealer) on the 2008 R350 AWD. However I can find no information on this on any other website. Anyone know if this is correct?   Thanks. Replies to this message: kyfdx (Aug 11, 2008 12:44 pm)

#79 of 171 MB R350 Lease Buyout - Heres what I got by wimsikl Aug 15, 2008 (6:49 pm)
Replying to: drattan (Aug 15, 2008 2:32 am) Thank you everyone! This space just saved me 5 grand. My 2006 R350 finishes its 27 month lease in October. When the dealer would not give me a good deal on a new one, I decided to look at buying out the old. First I was told $41k. Then I told them about this space and was given a number of $33k. Then I called MB Financial directly and was told that this month they are having a special... $12k off the residuals. So They gave me a price of $28k. Thanks to all of you for posting!!!

Replying to: drattan (Aug 15, 2008 2:32 am) I am hoping to negotiate a deal on a 2008 Mercedes R 320 cdi TODAY. After reading Drattan's post from Aug 15 th (and previous posts), I am hoping you can tell me WHAT DEALERSHIP (name, city, state) is willing to negotiate $11,000 - $13,000 off MSRP. I am willing to go outside the state, whereever necessary, to get the best deal. PLEASE RESPOND RIGHT AWAY IF POSSIBLE. Also, I would be very interested in any other advice you may have regarding negotiating the best deal. Thank you very much.
#82 of 171 $15,750 off MSRP on 08 by yetialan Sep 10, 2008 (5:17 pm)
I wanted to add my deal to the forum since I took the time to read others. Just got the R350 4matic LOVE IT. Handles like an s class with so much room, views and safety. Sooth like butter on the road. Seating position as high as most suv's. Very cool drive. Parking sensors are awesome. so easy to drive and with 2 baby seats in the back I can still bring the grandparents along for a ride in the rear which has a ton of room. Down side The navi input "OK" button takes some getting used to hard to push it in without toggling a different direction. Wish I had the memory seats. Navi is a little cumbersome and not intuitive. Really cool smart car with a great feel. I think it looks awesome. For the price of a decked out honda pilot why not drive a mercedes MSRP 52,070 + added Navi for 2,000 Total 54,070.   Options Prem 1 Met paint heated seats Pani roof Ipod interface   9000 off from MB for 08 4000 from MSRP to invoice 500 off from hold back 2250 money back for a corp discount I work for a huge USA company that gets added discounts off cars and they threw in an oil change and the rubber all season mats   Total off $15,750 plus purchased with 2.9% APR for 66 months which is like saving another 3,000 if I had to pay 5.99 over 60 months   WOW WHAT A DEAL.   Got magestic black with tan interior.
