Thanks for all of you

Would you elaborate a little more? Is it a new car? a CPO? So many things factor in pricing. Go to Edmunds.com and KBB.com and look up some prices. The 7.5% off she is offering you has no reference point. Is it off the sticker?

Give us a little more information so we can be more of help to you

It doesn't make you a bad guy for wanting a good deal on your car. Its the salespeople who try to rip you off that are the "bad guys". If your salesperson is trying to push you or telling you bs, don't be afraid to walk away or find someone else to talk to.

And +1 to jetflyboy. We need some more information on the vehicle you're trying to purchase and the price point you're at.

Sorry for the info that i gave,
1.The car is new, they need to built it from German(2013 C250)
2.The packages I've order, let the price goes to $48530(MSRP)
Thats the 7.5% off point!

And sorry jetflyboy, i dont really know what is off the sticker?

Thank you guys

If you want to talk percentages, my dad bought a car recently that cost slightly more than yours and the salesperson said they only have like a 7% margin of profit. A few hours of negotiation and we squeezed close to 10% off the MSRP. I think you can do better, but 7.5% is reasonable.

Oh,i see, so you mean that 7% is the salers private profit right?

Dear Domm

Can i get the dealers email or whatever info to contact them?

Thank you

[Domm]

Oh, no I didn't mean that 7% is their profit margin. I meant to imply that they were lying to us about their "profit margin" and you can get much more off but 7.5% is reasonable. Unfortunately, the car we bought wasn't a Mercedes so the dealer's information will be irrelevant to you.

I think Domm hit it on the head. Do some work on edmunds.com it might give you some idea about the dealer's cost, especially after you plug in the package and or options you are getting. Please bear in mind that probably outside of the owner of the dealership, probably no body knows exactly how much their cost is. They might produce paperwork to show you, but I am very leary of these.

As for the sticker, I was talking about the retail price listed on the paper sticking in the car window.

Good luck with your purchase

Thank you jet,but as I said the car need to be built,so I think there is no sticker on it.
And I talked to my saler about Edmunds,in Edmund, there's a dynamic handling package had a wrong price,she said.

And Im really appreciate,thank you two guys I will get a nice price back!

I think I'm going to get a 2013 c250...msrp is 35k...invoice (as found online) says about 32,400.
I want the car w/ p1 and push to start.
I'm hoping I can buy (not lease) for 36k w/ taxes included?
Think it's going to happen?
