How much should I consider paying for this car?

Good evening,

I found this very clean 09 C63 and I was wondering how much should I offer them ?

Canadian vs US prices may vary. Since its a 09 and probably has little to no warranty left + it's definitely wont be a CPO, I would offer low 40s. But that will mean them having to really come down in price. IMO the 51.6k they have on it is closer to a 2010 clean version.

Are you close enough to test drive?

I live 3 hours away from the dealership. That's a very clean 09 though. I just offered 43K and he said :

"Thank you for your offer on our stunning 2009 Mercedes Benz C-63! I am sure you are familiar with the incredible performance of the vehicle which makes it one of the most potent sedans in the world. The offer of $43,000 is a substantial amount lower than our asking price. With a little flexibility from both us and you, we can come together to make a very fair deal. Please let me know if we can close the gap closer to $51,600. Thank you and I look forward to earning your business!"

Basically dealer BS.. I answered to him and told him that the car is not a CPO, doesn't have the P30 package and no LSD and that I'm gonna have to purchase an extra warranty for it bla bla bla.. I haven't heard from him yet.

This. I think $45k would still be fair...wouldn't go above $47k. That's about halfway.

That's what I'd like to pay. I offered 43K because I want to close a deal at 45K. I'm pretty sure no one is going to buy it from them in the next 30 days. We'll see if they reduce the asking price. I can be very patient!

If they don't counteroffer based on the facts you outlined above, then they think they can still sell it for around $50k, which is overpriced for what it doesn't have.

Your points should prove to them that you're no fool and that they can't ask for that price without those options. Hopefully, they'll come back and you can start the hard negotiations.

tbh, since you are patient and if you dont need a car right away, I would wait. If you have around 50kish budget, go for a 2010. There will be tons coming off leases soon and I wouldnt be surprised to see MB dealers offering low to mid 50k for a 2010. IMO the changes from 2009 to 2010 is worth it.

to give you a benchmark. I paid around 50k for my 2010 with cdn premium pack(pretty much both of the premium opts listed in the 2009 you are looking at).... very clean and less mileage than the one you have showing.

and since it was with a MB dealer, i went for the extended warranty option too(at an additional cost of course)

hope that helps!

This looks like a better deal:

I'm patient, that's true but the wait is starting to kill me lol. Do you have any specific idea when the 2010 are gonna start come off leases ? Thanks!
