I'm going to a Benz dealership to purchase a 2005 c230 sport w/ 10k miles. Any advice on how I can bargain for a deal? I'm in socal and I'm ready to write a check.

 

Get free stuff...mats..hats..keychains...food....pretend you may get a bmw and try to get free car washes and so forth....most likely they will give it to you....its adds up later.....make sure they did service and all as well. Worse they can say is no rite?

 

hehe, it's official. i just picked up a black/black 2005 c230 sport 10k miles. i was able to bring it down to 5k less than sticker, not a bad deal. i'll be posting pics as soon as i can.

 

bmw gives free car washes?
for how long?

 

oh no i ment just say u wanted a bmw in general.....just ask for washes was just to ask them =) i got free for 2 years.

 

my sis use to have a lexus and she would take it to the dealership abuot every week or so for free car washes. they usually dont come out as clean as it should

congrats on your purchase thou

 

Congrats on the new sled. With 10K miles, it must be like brand new. Was is a CPO vehicle?

 

i am in love w/ this car. i was driving a 95 c280 prior to this one. such a big difference. what's a cpo btw?

yeah cpo over here. bought it from south bay mercedes. they hooked it up

 

Smart move on the CPO. You can't beat the warranty. Better than a brand new one. BTW, thanks to e1000 for the explanation.

 

I agree about the free car washes not being as good as the ones you have to pay for. My local dealership provides free car washes for clients with Porsche and Mercedes on Saturdays. While they provide hand washes for the black cars, they're still not what I would call "clean" when they come out. However, I still give them the car every now and then when I don't get a chance to wash it myself. They do try their best, they wash the rims, and they dress the tires. The car is presentable. But upon close inspection, it's not a "good job."
