Finally ...kinda

well my dealer called and the car is there, so tomm. ill go and get it.

ive got my carsdirect and kbb.com papers all printed out with the invoice price and what not.

any last minute advice from anyone??? ive already asked them to make sure it has a full tank and the floor mats.
im hoping to pay 40000 out the door including the exteded warrenty. i figure if i can get them to toss that in, that would be a good one because it cost a grand or 2.
wonder how much sympathy they will have on us because of our extended wait, and because we are repeat buys and have deposits on a cls55 and future gen S class. Prob not much, those silly greedy *******,

anyways, ill have pics as soon as i get them. wish me luck

Unlike your lowest benz model, there are C class models that go up to and beyond $55,000. I paid $43,000 for my late C Class. And benz, as a company whole, stopped doing the service part of the warriaty on C classes.

Take the cars direct price with you and stick to it.

Know why they dont have too many "fully loaded" cars like yours (and mine soon - I hope) on dealer lots??? Cuz they are hard to sell! The DO NOT want your car back on the lot and have to try and sell it (again).

People who get too emotional when purchasing a car - usually loose.

A C320 with options can easily top 40K.

If you look at his sig line, you can see he's getting a C320.

ive got the premium package, heated seats, xenons, cd changer and metalic paint, all stuff that jacks up the price, auto tranny too. so the msrp is 43000+, invoice is 40000, so thats what i will go for . im paying the whole thing one time too, with a check. not sure if that will have some benefit for me.

im sure they will want to dump a fully loaded c320 soon esp because the 350 is coming, ill head down there lil later today
