2008 C350 Sport
Yes I believe it can go lower. I got my black on black '08 C350 Sport last year (Fully loaded P2 package with MM, pano, ipod connector MINUS amg upgrade) for $36k. OTD was approximately $38.5k.
I posted my sales contract somewhere on this forum about a year ago to the non-believers

I bought my 08 C350 last August (P2, Pano, 18" AMG, ipod) for 33 and change and 34.9 OTD.
I had to post my contract as well

'10 C300 Sport
any chance of getting a 2010 at invoice or even under? They don't have the spec we want for a 2009 or any of the 2010s already on the lot so they'll have to order one. They are staying strictly above by a few hundred. Is this typical?

09 C300 4matic Arctic White
from the dealer I'm getting my car at ( central NJ ). They only have 1-2 2010s out there. Everything else is being ordered. As of now even the MSRP is about 2-3k higher than the 09s. You might be able to do invoice, but anything under might be really tough I think. Then again, it really depends on your location and how badly dealers want to move cars.
I had a very hard time getting the car to the specs I want. Only 09 one car left in the entire NE that had exactly what i want. White / Black interior p2, pano, and MM.
Good luck!

'10 C300 Sport
Using a site like truecar.com, I was able to see people get nearly $4k off MSRP as their discount, before taxes of course, for an '09. That's below dealer invoice.
They had about 5 '10s on the lot but none matched what we wanted exactly. One on a boat somewhere had everything exactly plus heated seats but we didn't want that either. Well, we just closed on our '10 and we were only able to get $2740 off before taxes. That's still above invoice. Sure it had to do with timing, supply, etc., but just wanted to throw that number out there. We will be waiting nearly 10 weeks for the ordered vehicle.
C300 sport 4matic, white/mocha w/ MM, Sirius. I'm pretty excited about the car and it's not even mine.

More recent purchases?
Anyone purchased a new '09 since the last posting in early August? I'm possibly making an offer soon and could use some newer info. Sept. incentives are here. 
Thanks in advance.

Moved quickly on a 6MT this past weekend:
2009 C300 Sport - 6MT, Black (flat, not Obisidian), P1, iPod
$31.3k ($2500 under invoice). Wheel and deal away if you're looking to get a remaining '09!!! I got this deal w/ basically no big negotiations.

rising
Seems pricing is stabilizing, even though sales are still falling.
We bought in Feb, end of Feb, I think that is our purchase at the LOW of the curve here. But, since then, pricing is only rising on average in the Bay Area

It all boils down to what your preference/tolerance is for the extra "work" of shifting on your own. Can't go wrong either way since the car itself is great. When I drove the auto and put it into manual shift mode, the shifts weren't as bad/delayed as my Volvo SUV. The Sport mode may have had something to do with that.
If you get the 6spd, you could put the $1600 towards P2, 18" AMG, or a pano roof!

C300 4matic & ///M3
Rallye in NY is a pretty big dealership and serve a big part of the island because there just aren't that many around. Anyone have good/bad experiences with them? We were given the list price and Lou there stated that he can get us a nice offer below MSRP - we haven't gotten to the details because were waiting on the '10s to come in but that's what he was pricing. I'm not sure if it's the times were in or because they are just good about dealing...

That's it... $38,615. "I will be able to discount the car a very fair amount" were his words without us asking. Hoping to come in under $40k after taxes but what are the chances of getting below invoice? I only know that BMW won't do it even now.

Way off topic (sorry)...
Not sure if you're still looking, but I thought I'd add in my .02 cents.... (and this is my first post...)
I just purchased a CPO 2008 C300 almost a month ago. I had a 2006 Audi A3 2.0T with a 6-speed, navi, and the whole nine yards. I bought the Audi new off of the lot (traded in a C230 for it), and I owned it for almost 4 years. The Audi was the biggest pile of crap I've ever owned. I had major fuel pump issues, power issues, I would lose all boost, and the car would randomly stall out (anywhere... interstate, drive-thru, drive way, stop light, etc.) I took it to the dealer, and had nothing but problems with it, and them. I called Audi of America, no one could find my problem. All of the interior latches, buttons, etc. broke.. for no reason... and I could go on and on.
Not saying that every Audi is a problem, but mine was more than a problem. When I traded it in, the dealership went to test drive it, and it stalled 6 times before he could get in it and drive. It seems like VAG products have gotten a lot cheaper and less reliable.
Whatever you get I wish you the best, and I really hope that every Audi is not a total POS like mine was.
back on topic sort of almost...
On to my deal, I got a CPO with 21,000 miles, 6-speed for 25k. I feel like I could've gotten a better deal if my Audi wasn't such a POS when they drove it. (Hell I could've gotten a new C300 if the Audi held its value better), but you live and learn.
I am now a happy Mercedes Benz owner again, and my new pre-loved car is wonderful.
