C Class European Delivery available at 5%
discount...check out
http://www.mbusa.com/brand/container...rder/index.jsp
MB finally got wise again and offer discounts for european delivery for C, SLK, and CLK cars. BMW and Volvo have been giving euro delivery discount for years but MB discontinued the discount several years ago. Porsche also offers without discount but Audi discontinued euro delivery totally. I am so glad MB reinstated their euro delivery with discount. I am going to combine a euro vacation when I pick up my new C class since i get to stay free with friends. I have picked up a BMW in Munich in the past...it was a lot of fun driving on the autobahn. Anyone considering euro delivery with the MB or have thoughts to share?

Having a car - with insurance - for two weeks is worth several thousand. Also they include two nights at nice hotels that is worth about $400-500 more.

actually, you can get another 1500 or 2000
off your negotiated price (even if it's below US invoice) if you do euro delivery. you must know the trick that the euro delivery cars do not come out of the dealer's allocation. so dealer doesn't mind filling up paper work for small profit. more importantly, there is a separate invoice and msrp pricing for euro delivery cars, which is not published but it is substantially lower than the pricing for US delivery cars.

Euro Delivery? Its where you can opt to pick up your car at the customer center in Sindelfingen, Germany. The destination charge is waived and you are allowed to keep your car in the country for 4 weeks w/o paying for insurance. M-B ships it back at no additional charge and you pick it up at the dealer.
Its really a great deal, as Robert pointed out its worth alot of $$$ to have a car to use in Europe, so if you were going to go on a vacation anyway, and you were going to buy a car, its a great deal. We did it for our 02 C230 and all-around it was a great experience.

Euro Delivery also includes the E Class which I will be picking up and I hope that I enjoy the "E" as much as I do my C320. I'm really serious about this concern. Remember that you not only save tghe 5% off the base price but also save the $720 delivery charge. They have, however cut us back to one free hotel night.

Thats strange... we did Euro Delivery last in June 02 and they were waiving the dest. charge then, but maybe its changed since then.
BTW MB-JIM I know I am shamelessly politicking but other members have stuff like "Proud Conservative" and "NRA Member" is their sigs so I dont see mine as being any worse...
