Thanks for the advice, I placed a down payment on a new 2010 C63 (040/201/P02/318/320/318/320/889). I have a couple of days to wire the balance or get cold feet and have my down payment refunded. The price is 57K. This was over the phone and I haven't even seen the car, but it's on the show room and has less than 100 miles.

thats def a good deal, congrats PetroleumGuy

Congrats but what's your MSRP? But again, 57k for a C63 with P02, 318, and 320 is a good deal regardless .

Anyone know any dealers in South Fla willing to play ball at these prices? Looking for a white or silver.

PetroleumGuy

Thanks again, the MSRP is $69,185. I think it helped being at the end of the month.

Sheep

Oh, that's very good, as you are getting at least a 17.5% discount! Good job.

I just bought a 2010 C63 and got 10k off without even arguing. The trunk money was 5k and they were willing to take another 5k off of their money.

I feel pretty good about it.

Be aware is not a used one.
They might not have titled it, but on your contract it will show used
and warranty might be less now

How can you make this determination, because it has 100 miles? Easily test drive miles.

Wow, good deal and your on the east coast I think. Is there any others on the lot? And do you mind sharing the dealer with me? You can Pm if you want.

Thanks in advance..

It is new. The salesman talked about discounts on vehicles that have been "punched". This has not been punched.

I am in Arizona. The dealer is Schumacher in Scottsdale.

What does "punched" mean?

Blk04cobra1

It means that it has been marked "sold" per MB and the warranty has started.

My C63 was "punched" with 90 miles on the odometer. I don't know when exactly it was punched, but not sure it really matters b/c its a lease.

PetroleumGuy

Should I be safe if he faxes me the contract and it indicates new? Thanks for your help. BTW, the price I gave as MSRP includes the destination charge and gas guzzling tax, is that the correct way to look at it?

ELO168

If those are test miles it means Demo, even worst
Normally you don't test the car more the 5 miles
It means around 16 ppl have been on that car WOT
Take away like 20 mile when deliver to dealer

ELO168

Yes that is the right way
Look at the contract when you sign it
Also you can check with MB USA with the vin# to see if the warranty have started yet.

It looks like the era of killer deals may be coming to an end: http://autos.yahoo.com/articles/auto...unts-for-cars/

Its sad to read that article. I think ive already been spoiled with the discounts on this car.

Dr_jitsu

I am just happy I got the E for 15K off last year, and the C 63 for 11K off this year.

So you got the Iridium Silver at MSRP $ 80,855... Congrats!! I almost got that one, you beat me one day earlier, so I got the black one. H73, P02, 105, 318, 320, 889 MSRP $72,035 -$16K off MSRP.

Thanks to this thread I got a 2010 C63 instead of 2011 c350!

The $15K deals are still out there, I went to cars.com and emailed all the dealers and got about 10 responses about $15K off. Some offered to pay half of the trucking cost for shipping to you. But all the warranty started 7/31/10 and marked as sold in MB records so dealers can get the 10K trunk money from MB because the trunk money offer ended in 7/31/10. They also do this to keep their "AMG" status. The dealer will give another $5K (selling at their invoice price), that where the $15K comes from. When you buy it, it's sold as used to you in MB books but never titled so your Car Fax records shows your are the first owner.

If the dealer only give $5K off that means it's sold new and your warranty starts the day you bought it because the dealer didn't use the $10K trunk money.

And as I said when that dope posted how stupid we all were because we paid $55K for our 2009 C63's, prices are back up now that the 2010's and the trunk money are basically history. Nice to see my car worth what I paid again. I don't feel so "stupid" anymore.

PetroleumGuy

I went through with the deal; awesome car at a great price. Thanks again to the contributers on this forum.
