Should i beleive them?

If "on the road" means tax, tags, and everything, I'd run to the dealership.

Yes got them down to 36,200 then add tax and tags. its an 08, new last one. Black on Black (not what i would have picked but hey) awd, R350 gas with some options. pk1, heated seats, sunroof, ipod and a few other things. Has anyone heard of them being marked down even more? I have the car on hold will be picking it up on monday but want to get a feel for what people are paying. Even at 36,200 plus tax and tags its still alot of money to be parting with so planing it on keeping it a long time. Hope its a good car. Wanted to wait for the desil but know i couldn't not get a 09 desil down this far in pricing. Any ones thoughts would be helpful.
 
Thanks room!

I will miss this nice ride! by cary28

My 06 R350 lease is ending this month, and I will really miss the luxury and comfort of this truly amazing crossover vehicle. Our family had quite a few road trips, including numerous drives from Northern Cal to San Diego, ski trips to Lake Tahoe, and enjoyable jaunts along the Pacific coastline.
 
The R350 is really a hidden jewel in MB's lineup, and those of us who have lived with this car have learned to appreciate its stellar features. Its a luxury vehicle in the true MB sense(not like the ML/GL SUV class), with a solid body for smooth quiet drives. Ours was loaded to the gills with almost every option, which is what we will really miss after the lease. I still get a kick every time I sit behind the wheel, knowing it is still a unique car that gets a lot of notice on the road.
 
MBF is offering a buyout of around $31K, which includes all tax and fees. I haven't started to negotiate with them, but will call them back tomorrow to give it a last attempt before the inspection on Thursday. It is a shame to let it go, since I only have around 19K miles on the odometer. My target is to get them down to under $22K, possibly even $20K, which would make it attractive when I calculate the total lease payment was only around $12K(really low mf and discounts in 2006 for a 27 months lease, and I used 1 pay lease to minimize my out of pocket cost).
 
One concern I have about keeping this car is all the "gadgets" which will increase cost of ownership. I had no idea how expensive MB dealerships are until I paid $700+ for a "B" service, which is nothing more than an oil change with brake fluid recycle and tire rotation, along with the usual inspection and fluid top off.
 
Any comments or suggestions on how to deal with MBF would be appreciated.

Hi d5a,
Where are you located? Can you post the dealership name and city please? Is this the R350 4dr All-wheel Drive 4MATIC Base?
thanks in advance

Located in maryland. I did purchase the car and love it. the car is a well loaded r350 with all wheel drive. pk1, ipod, heated seats, seven seat option. Called other MD and VA dealers and no one could beat the price or no longer had 2008 in stock. What state are you located in?

No more incentives on by whitdog

Looks like th $9K incentive on the '08s expired - nothing replaced it, at least according to Edmunds.

You should wait a few days before assuming that the $9k incentive went away. Sometimes edmunds is a week or so behind--particularly at the beginning of the month...

Incentives were due to end november 1st according to edmunds and mercedes. Last week being the last week of October was one of the reasons i purchased the car. I did not want to miss out on the 9 thousand back and 3.9 interest rate. Was able to get more then 9 off the car and got the special interest rate also. I'm very happy it all feel into place. Been watching edmunds to see if mercedes offered a better deal in November but I know that in my area MD, DC, VA all 08 are gone.
 
If they did I would not be able to find a car to take advantage of the savings.
