US MB Dealer

Hi,
I'm live here in So-Cal and am planning on visiting the local dealer very soon.
Not too long ago, I also got a quote from the dealer who told me the car I wanted is available. (2012 C350 Coupe)
He also told me if I go visit the dealer, he wanted to bring this email and ask to see him so I can get the Internet Special Price. (He said he's the new car fleet manager)
So I'm wondering right now if the special price is really true?
Should I bring the email or not?

Are you trying to get your local dealer to match the price that another dealer gave you? Or are you just trying to ensure that the price quoted is what is paid?

I'm actually doing neither...
I only emailed them to ensure the car I wanted is available so I do not need to waste my time going there.
I actually planned on doing the haggling there and they only offered me the MSRP so far.

I know that Amex has a deal where some MB dealers give at or under invoice pricing. If I was willing to drive 55 miles to Ohio I could've gotten a C350 Sedan at invoice. I had to haggle a bit at a local dealership to come close to that. So to answer your question, yes there are some dealers who will flat out give internet/invoice specials with no haggling.

Go to Philip at Penske MB in West Covina and tell him Vince sent ya. I guarantee you won't find a better price elsewhere. I've gotten 4 cars from him and he takes care of all my buddies.
