Talk to MarcusBenz on here. I think he has done something like this. But remember that a lot of dealers have a service issue if the car wasn't bought from them. This could be anything from longer waits to get servicing, possibly no loner car, etc. Its a trade off and you will have to decide if the difference is worth it. HTH

thanks amdeutsch, i'll definitely try to ask him. that'd be a great way to get a damn good deal my next car. and about service - i'm not too worried, i know the service guys pretty well through my friend's dad, who's very good friends with the owners of the MB of Naples dealership (i love connections). i might have that problem when i eventually move up to philadelphia, but eh, whatever.

You need to work the numbers and your mouth to get a better deal in Florida.
Carsdirect list $500 under msrp. That equals close to $1000 if you eliminate them.
Cost of shipping to Florida and state ownership change makes buying here not worth it.
There are 22 mbz dealers in Florida and you have a connection at Naples ....

Tell them you are debating on buying now or in California(lie) due to the price difference. See how close they can come. Get a print out from Cars direct.................

I just recieved my coupon back from jnjrowland so I have an extra coupon to give to someone. I do have someone who may be able to use it but he's checking with his dealer to see if he can use it to order a car. This coupon is from the June 5-6 C-Spot and is good for 90 days.

I'm asking that whoever gets it uses it and doesnt sell it. I could sell it but I'm choosing not to, in order to help other MB owners out.

Let me know if someone is interested.

ernster

I can use it citron. I am waiting for my car to be delivered. It will be here aug 10th. I can call the dealership right now and ask if it can be used. I see no problem with that. I live in NYC. Let me know!! Thanks for any help

jnjrowland

Thanks again for being so generous and sharing it in the first place. Hopefully it will find a good home and happy new owner.

You are very kind to the rest of the community here and these boards are among the best I have ever seen. A great place to be thanks to folks like yourself.

Regards,

JR

thanks again for sending it back. i did receive it this morning via FedEx. im sure it will find a new home.

Mr.Ed

Hi Citron,

In case it doesn't work out for ernster, I'd like to get it from you. I've just bought my c230, but now my friend also wants to get one, and is looking for a coupon. Thanks!

Ed

CitronC230K_03

ok ill let you guys know. Tall Giraffe is checking with his dealer to see if you will be able to use it. He hasn't ordered the car yet, and I wanna make sure that this coupon can be used. Especially since time is running out.

ernster

Ok, thanks citron. I will wait for a post from you.

CitronC230K_03

no prob ernster, you'll be next.

Tall Giraffe

Its a no go for me. I PM'd you with some details. Thanks again for the consideration.

CitronC230K_03

looks like your next ernster. you take delivery aug 10, yeah?

I KOMPRZ

Citron, my gf is desperately looking for one. Actually her car is already at the dealer now just missing the C spot coupon, please please please let me know if she can get it from you. Thanks a ton in advance

ernster

Citron i will call the dealership today to confirm so I do not wast your coupon. I will write again later today. Around 10:30. Thanks again.

ernster

citron just talked to the dealership and they said that I can use the coupon. He asked me to fax him a copy if you could call me I would appricaite it. I PM'ed you my information. Please get back to me sometime this morning if it is possiable.

CitronC230K_03

ill call you as soon as i get to work. around 9 - 9:30 PDT.

ernster

thanks so much citron, it helps alot. Instead of buying cash outright I will finace it and then pay it off on the first payment. Again thank so much. I will save all togeather with the first finance charge like 1380.00. that's good enough for me.

CitronC230K_03

no problem. just helping fellow MB owners out. rather someone make use of the coupon. plus thats what i like about these boards. lots of incentives and info. btw i faxed a copy to you and sent the original out in the mail today to the address you provided. please let me know when it arrives. post pics of your new car when you recieve it in Aug. nothing better than an ordered car being delivered.

Mr.Ed

Thanks Citron, and contrats on the coupon, Ernster!

Guess my friend has to go to Ebay now

check out that auction. thats freaking nuts!

mbchris

The same users are buying multiple coupons. Looks like those are dealers, or those associated with dealers. Makes sense - buy a coupon, sell it to a buyer at $500, they get around $900 as a discount, the sales person and dealership gets a sale.

Everyone wins! I don't think there is a loser at all. Bottom line - gets more MB cars on the road, which is not too bad a thing!

CitronC230K_03

true! good point.

Hi guys,

I'm looking to trade from my current 2003 C240 4Matic to a 2005 C320 4Matic (my C240 4matic is a nice little car, except it is simply too sluggish and I'm getting kind of sick of the lack of power - only 168HP!).

The MSRP for a "plain" 2005 C320 4Matic with the sunroof package and destination charges is $41,660. The invoice is $38,795.

What do you guys think is a fair price for me to pay for this car? Anyone know of any special incentives or deals on this model? A dealer told me that, for some reason, they are selling "tons" of C240 4Matics but very few C320 4Matics. Assuming this is true, one would think a dealer would be able to negotiate a good deal on a C320 4 Matic? Also, what's the best time to buy? End of the month? Later in the year?

Thanks in advance,
Martin-
