New 2012 C350 coupe bought

Hi, I just went to a dealer and bought c350.
The options are the 18 inch Amg 7 spoke wheel, s32 with rear camera, and keyless go and the msrp is 46230.
After a really long time of haggling, I finally got the out the door price down to 47700.
Which they claimed its already at their invoice price.
I couldn't get the price lower but got them giving me a car cover for free.
They said their invoice was only 6% off the msrp. Is it really that high?
So here comes my question, did I get ripped off? Lol
I will pick up the car tomorrow.

I was looking at a car identical to yours but didnt get it because I am waiting for lighting package and Dynamic handling package but I was offered a price of $43,000 for your exact car. The invoice is $43,644 but there is also a $1482 dealer holdback as well as other dealer sales incentives. So I am sorry to say the dealer did very very well on your sale.

Only MBs - the best or nothing
Well, his deal is out the door, your deal does not inlude taxes. With average US state sales taxes added, your deal is only about $1,500 better. Not a big difference at this price range. Location must have made the difference here.

Yea...it'd help if you gave us the cost of the car whitemocha not the out the door price. Especially if you bought any of the shady backroom ripoffs they try to sell you

For example, I live in DC proper and the sales tax on cars is 6-8% depending on weight, but we don't have property tax on our vehicles. So my up front costs are WAYYYYY higher, but over time I make it back. The man gets his somehow.

The price is around 43400 plus I got the car cover for free (They said the cover is worth 250 bucks while you can buy one for 25 dollars on amazon lol). Fortunately, I did not buy any of those shady stuff.
Figured it must be cheaper somewhere else.
Right now I'm thinking if I should tint my windows or not. If I should, should I do it at the dealer or somewhere else?
I will try to post the pictures up tomorrow.

Im also thinking about putting the roof spoiler on and taking down the rear spoiler.
Wondering if that will make the car looks better?
Anyone who has a roof spoiler on?

I'd say you did pretty well on a $46.5K car to get it for $43.4. Comparable to my deal. I'm sure someones done better, but I wouldn't sweat it.

I would not tint the windows at the dealership. They charge more and they out-source this kind of work anyway.
