Is this a good deal for a 05 C230K sedan?

Went in today to come out with $34,400 out the door price don't know if it is a taker or not seems kind of high and I didn't really get to choose the options. Comes in Briliant Silver, Sunroof package, Auto, 6 disc. I wanted Granite grey but they have none in stock.

Best thing for you to do is to search this forum as this topic has been discussed numerous times in the recent past. This will also allow to compare as prices vary across the country while at the same time staying mum about your location. Remember that a lot prices will be posted without involving the "out the door including fees etc" as they again vary widely across the country.

I got that exact car. Is that price with taxes and fees? If it isn't then don't take it. I believe the sticker price for a car like that is $34250.

yea man, you need to research on what you exactly want, and negociate, im not sure if you tryed, but they are charging you 150 over MSRP.....thats not a good deal at all, also, if your willing to just take a car off of a lot, i would call dealers and ask if they have any specials right now on any 05 c230s, GL

i've been researching but that other thread was all offtopic and didn't really give me a clear view on how much people got the car for but we were trying to get the car for $33,800 including tax + license but the guy said he will pass on the deal. He just escorted us out which was pretty sad a dealer escorting a customer out.

That is pretty sad that they actually escorted you out...
But like Amdeutsch said, you should not be asking about out the door prices here since taxes + fees vary. You should talk about the price of the car alone instead.

Well, from what I have gathered, you can get $200 below Invoice off of carsdirect.com (carsdirect.com adds a $600 additional fee to their reported Invoice price due to probably an advertising fee) so you get $200 below the actually Invoice. I have heard you can get about 800-1000 below invoice and if you have a C-Spot coupon you can get an additional 1500 off. And edmunds.com states that you can get 1.9% financing up to 60 months. So, good luck.
