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!!!

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.

$15,750 off MSRP on 08 by yetialan

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.

R350 06 Purchase by fusilli

I just picked one up for $30k. Not bad...probably could have done better. However, I read the forums on these cars and, after driving mine for two weeks now, I had not noticed anyone mention the gas mileage. OMG...this is a PIG. Now I'm thinking that I'm shifting it wrong (the little hookydo on the side of the steering column, etc.) Any feedback on this would be great. Thanks!

Why are you shifting? Isn't it an automatic?

I have an '08 R320 and I drive in C mode. You can 'shift' the "little thingy" on the column or just push the button down by the emergency flashers to change driving modes. Better watch those fingers driving or you can change modes easy. Glad my fingers aren't too long.
 
I get much better mileage driving around town in C mode -Vs- S mode. Example: I went from getting 19.7 miles/gallon driving around the island to 24.9 going from s moce to c mode. On the highway, I switch to S mode and get upper 29's. I suggest reading the book. I haven't read it all myself, so this is a kick in the pants for me, too. My excuse it that it's a bear. But boy, do I love this car.

I am not shifting, but I experimented with the button that is located on the right side of the steering column...noticed that it displays numbers from 1-6 next the D (Drive) display. I did read a bit in my owner's manual on this, but I wasn't sure when one would use this...perhaps in slippery situations, but I live outside Orlando, and I probably won't be using this much. Not sure what this is exactly intended to do. Anyway, I did switch from C (comfort) to S (sport) to see if it was any different. Thank you, Heris, for mentioning this. I shall immediately change it back to see if I notice anything different. This is my 6th Benz...(S, E, SL, 2 MLs). Just prior to my Pacifica (really, I loved that car!) I had a ML430, and I didn't notice it was that bad on gas (of course, that was when it was around a buck a gal), so I thought that this couldn't be much worse. I am still experimenting. Thanks for the feedback.
