2005 C230 Kompressor Sports Sedan
Prices in San Diego
Hi, I'm looking to get a C230 Kompressor SS soon. I'm wondering if there is anyone in this forum from San Diego that can give me there input as to what they paid. I would like to know what I can bargain for. Is there a possibility that I can get it for below invoice?
As for options, I'm thinking that I want to definitely have the Sunroof Package and the Lighting Package. Any suggestions please.
Also, does anybody have a C-Spot Coupon that isn't put to use. I greatly appreciate one. Thanks in advance!

'05 C230K SS
I paid $2500 under sticker, but $500 over invoice. This was NorCal. Probably could have done better, but it was my first time, and it was a reasonable deal.

white and whiter
the only deal I know so far is at House of Imports in Buena Park has like $1500 under the invoice I believe. Just ask for Mark Newton. I'm not sure if it's for the C320 only or the C230k too.

that's it....I am going to look into taking yoga or some sort of meditatiing exercise. 30 is around the corner and I might keel over from a massive coronary infarction after reading one of these "NOOB" threads 
.
Drew: THank you for being honest and admitting that you truly see the point to the "search" replies. I have missed out on a few important threads because a ton of "noob" threads bumped them too far back.
oh yah... btw... here is the answer to the original posters question:
YOUR ANSWER BEST OF LUCK

I just bought the last 2004.5 C320SS at MBSD, with $7000 below MSRP.
At that point I didn't even ask about invoice price. Then I threw in the $1500 coupon, plus traded in the old beater for $8500. They've got plenty of '05 SS, however, very very limited on those with LIGHTING package for some reason. If you go to MBSD, and you're truly serious about buying, talk to Mr. Martin Datnow, by far their best rep. Tell him you were referred by me (Carlos Munoz). Good luck !
But lesson learned.... next time do a "SEARCH" for your questions. It annoys a whole lot of people (as noted above). I guess I'm in a good mood, or else I would of flamed on you too !!

$7000 below msrp is like at least $3000 below invoice.

Not saying it will be the only car I'll have... by my wanna-be AMG Coupe will be around for a while.
I'll probably buy whatever equivalent or upgrade of the C55 AMG is out there in 5-6 years.
