that's a pretty good deal.
Sticker price would be about $43,500.

Is the car in stock or would it have to be ordered? There's a pretty long wait now to have it ordered. I ordered mine in mid-september and there was no budging on the price (paid sticker for a C300 sport 4Matic with P2, Pano roof, iPod kit, and Quickpark).

the car she's looking is currently in stock.

she didnt like the dealers attitude...since they gave her a "we dont care if you buy or not" look.

Thankfully we have an excellent relationship with the general manager so he always gives us the cars about 2,000$ below dealer invoice.

Mine was 40,440 before tax and had teleaid, but no parktronic. Dealer threw in the all weather mats too and a teddy bear for the baby

Mercedes-Benz C300 4-Matic Sport
P1 Package
Multimedia Package
IPOD

MSRP $40,650

United Technologies Fleet discount $500

Final price before tax and lic. $38,350.

I also negocated the best price I could get for my trade.

They told me to stop beating them up so bad. In the end it was only a mini-deal for the salesman.

[QUOTE=good96;2516710$2500 off sticker attainable on c300 sport in socal? [/QUOTE]

I would say that you are pushing it a little esecially in So cal. I would definately say for you to try an get them that low but it will take a lot of work. You would need to have a check ready to go and say that you want them to give you the best price. If they can't do it then go to anther place and see if they can beat it.

That is s a great deal ! Pretty hard to believe. They are not making any money on that car.

im looking at an arctic white c300 sport w/ auto, pano, p1, MM....kbb says invoice is $36,106....you think I can get it for $36,500 plus local tax/title/license?

also, does anybody know if you do the one-pay lease if you have to pay the lease fee (acquisition fee maybe?) ?? it's usually $600, I paid it on the z4 i got from bmw in august...I think every car brand has one but don't know if they charge it on the one-pay lease too

also, does anybody know if on a one-pay lease they simply charge the difference between the final negotiated price and the residual or is it more than that somehow?

Canadian list price selling for CAN$41,000 with auto come to 42,800 list.
I get CAN$2,000 off list plus some discounted on rim/tires insurance package that will replace any tires or wheels for free if needed.
I'm still waiting for the rubber floor mat and first aid kit which is backorder.

I know Canadian spec car are selling more expensive than the US spec car but Canadian spec car have more std options than the US spec car.
have a look at the www.mercedes-benz.ca and price it with the options. A lot of the options is std in Canada but in States, those are part of the packages.

Bluetooth work with Bell mobility Canada Blackberry but I cannot transfer the address book.

I found out the Blackberry from Rogers Canada can transfer the address book to the MB bluetooth.

For winter driving (which I got the car on Dec 1/08) ...I changed the OEM Michellin tires all seasons tires to to Pirelli 225/45/17 winter 210 sottozeros with S class alloy wheels for less money than the dealer installed option. ($900 less with taxes).
The original Michellin Tires is awesome handling...but I found the Pirelli winter 210 Sottozeros is pretty good too in snow and wet traction...except some noise (very faint and minor road noise from the tires).
The original OEM tires sit in my garage until spring.



Today got some snow on the ground and took it for a spin with winter tires. Pirelli holding well with snow and ice and on the highway pretty good handling too. Can't go any faster than 150Km/h since Ontario Province Police will confiscate any car and detain for 7 days with $2,000 fine for anyone caught doing 50 KM/h over the posted speed limit.

will bring the c300 to the race track in the summer and test it out.
Can't wait for spring!!!!

Hello fellow C300 owners. I was in the dealership today and got an eye out for White c300 with P1 and media package. They wanted 40,895.00 I asked for 39,400. Is that a reasonable offered? Or can I go lower? Thanks

$2000.00 below dealer invoice the dealer after getting there 3% from MB still losing about $800.00

I've heard there's some behind the scenes stuff going on at Barrier Merc that may end the outrageous sales practices soon. Aparently they know they're loosing a good chunk of business to Phil Smart. Don't bother with Merc of Lynnwood ... I half suspect they're owned by Barrier too ... as they're playing the same outrageous mark up games.

If you looked closely at that lease deal you would've noticed they were trying to charge you .00469 (or higher) as a money factor. I got the same quote and they wouldn't budge even after I told them I was buying a car from Phil that afternoon.

Plus Barrier just has crap for inventory.

Went to Phil. They still weren't discounting the car, but they charged me cost for dealer swap transport and gave me top dollar on trade-in to compensate. I've heard from a few people that they're starting to take some money off the C. They had much better inventory, and I'm hearing that's still the case.

They told me ... and I don't know how true this is, it was just said in conversation ... that MBUSA determined inventory on the new C based on how many W203's each dealer cleared out. Phil supposedly cleared out a ton more than Barrier and that's why they're sitting with more cars to sell.

I really really really love Barrier Audi, but man, next Merc I buy (if there is one) I'll give them one shot to see if they've cleaned up their act. And then it'll be off to Phil Smart again. Dealing with them was wonderful.

I am looking to lease a c class. How much would it be a month for a c300 w/auto, c300 w/ auto and mm pack, base c350, and c350 w/ mm pack; all with metallic paint. I am able to recieve an employee discount of 12.5% off msrp. Also, what kind of money factors should I be looking at w/ trans credit score of 707 and what kind of residual should I be seeing. Thank You for your replies.

^you, my friend, got one ridiculous deal on that car.

ndabunka

Maybe he traded in a car worth more than $37,000 in which case his taxes are nada, zip, zilch, etc. Or he could well live in a state where there are no sales taxes so maybe all he got was the $1,300 off. If he did get "around"$1,300 off, it's an OK deal, not a GREAT deal. I've heard of others getting $1,800 off.

It seems that so many on here think that their high tax rate applies to everyone when in fact, it often does not.
