(i) The lowest price paid I had previously seen was about 2.2k below invoice. Was there any July-specific incentive?
(ii) Did you have a trade-in and/or did you finance? In the affirmative, did you receive fair deals on those?
(iii) Who was your salesman?

Feel free to PM if you prefer not to post the answer. Thanks!
1. The only July-specific incentive I saw online was $1500 factory-dealer incentive. I'm not exactly sure how much that played into the bottom line price of the car. They brought the car in from NJ as well, so it's not like it was sitting on their lot and wanted it gone. I know that MB utilizes their dealerships sort of as a regional co-op, where they can bring cars in from any other dealership in the region if need be at a minimal cost rather than going outside their region.

2. I had a trade in (2000 Pontiac Sunfire ) and I did finance the 350. I believe I got a pretty fair trade in value for the Sunfire looking at the KBB and edmunds trade in values associated with it. I was able to take advantage of the July C350 low APR financing incentive as well. I was able to secure a rate of 3.9% for 5 years.

3. Check your PM for the salespersons name

According to Edmunds There is a $3500 Marketing Support on certain 2008 C-Models.

Cars direct C-350 + P2 for $34975 ( 2008 )

Looks like they are trying to clear the 2008's and make room for the new ones. If you want what is left you might be able to get a good deal right now.

Received e-mail my 2009 C350 will arrive in Jacksonville, FL on Aug 10

Isn't that because the 4-matic requires the automatic and the sport default is the stick?

I bought my car at EuroMotorcars in Bethesda too, same place as Orie. I've got a great deal as well about a month and half before him. Only difference is mine doesn't have 18" amg upgrade but has MM/navi instead. I bought at 36k for a car that has 43,500 msrp.

Orie, looks like you debadged the Euromotors emblem on the back?

euromotorcars

No, they never put an emblem on the back. They had to ship the car in from NJ so I'm not sure if that played into it or not. Regardless, I would have asked if they could remove it before I left the lot

pretty good deal for you too

Good for you buddy,. I dont get buyers remorse either. Well unless it was a crap product.

PS the only way you can pay too much for your C350 is if you paid over MSRP. MSRP and down is fair market value or better, so you didnt over pay even at MSRP.

Enjoy your ride!!

Paid MSRP less a token discount of $600. Excellent customer service and product satisfaction came with the price.

I truly don't understand why people are belly-aching about the prices they pay in the first place. They like the car, then buy it for what they perceive it is worth...end of story.

I will never pay over MSRP!

As for those have issues or buyer's remorse....you have the factory warranty to take care of repairs and the Lemon Law to protect you; still don't like it, then trade it in and swallow your pill like a man and learn from it. Gosh!
