I got mine on Sun 3/9/08 for $1,037.00 below invoice... no bs. Mercedes-Benz of Oakland.
C300 Sport
7 speed auto
Palladium Silver Metallic paint
MB Tex
Multimedia pkg
Premium 1 pkg
Ipod Kit
18" AMG rims
Invoice of car is $38,037. There's this IRG Participation fee for $500 that I thought was bs...
I paid $37,000.00. Final price was slightly over $40K with taxes and fees.
I was considering the G35x, but when they accepted my ridiculous offer of $1k below invoice... I walked in there and bought it.
LOL... Ask for Tony and tell him Jay sent you!

No problem. Seems like MB of Oakland are handing out pretty good deals. I got a little above $1k below invoice.

That's crazy! Why would it take that long to take delivery of your car?? There's no way it should take 6 months!

Hmmm interesting. Building a car doesn't really take that long though. I've never bought an MB but have had every other German make. It usually took no more than 3 months tops. Something related to Pano roof or something maybe?

I'm afraid so =/, I guess free health care and all of that is good, but some times I wish the prices was a bit lower. They are milking the car owners 
You don't want to know what the gas prices are... $9.36 pr gallon =)

I don't understand how you got that amount... The dealer showed me the invoice cost including the extras. Shows exactly what edmunds has on their website (excluding the IRG participation fee).
Invoice of car: $29,388
Metallic Paint: $660
Multimedia: $2,744
7 Speed Auto: $1,339
Premium 1: $1,302
AMG 18" wheels: $930
Ipod kit: $349
Destination fee: $825
IRG participation fee: $500*
Total invoice: $38,037.00
I paid: $37,000.00
The invoice amount from Edmunds was the same amount on the dealer invoice sheet. https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/driving.gif

I see how you got that amount now... You forgot to add the invoice cost of the 7 Speed Auto $1,339.00.
So invoice is still... $37,537 + $500 irg fee.
($38,037)

You still got a good deal. It looks like you & idragen are both getting below invoice from MB Oakland. Food for thought next time.

C220CDI
I paid approx USD$80000 (in Australia) for 220CDI with sat nav, memory seats, active xenon, normal sunroof, harman kardon sound, leather. I also sometimes wish I lived in US (for car prices and skiing!). I'm glad you paid more than I did!

Next time I'll probably do European Delivery and custom order it to exactly what I want and get it for even less!

C300 Sport 4Matic
W204 Owners - Post how much you paid for it
Shopped via the Internet and bought it last Saturday, at $3,375 off MSRP and $788 under invoice based current pricing.
The car was on the dealers lot with the old window sticker MSRP of $37,325 which did not include the recent $450 price increase on the base vehicle. Had two other quotes in the same range and both were also on "old" dealer stock.

Invoice $35,188
Paid $34,400 OTD price $37,400 including tax, 4 yr reg and doc fees
