The P1 lights aren't horrible, they are definately whiter, even on my W203 C-Class. They are all projector style now. I would definately go for the P2 though, the bi-xenon make the car look awesome.

Stiggs

Once you've had Xenons you won't want to go back. Stick with the Xenons, you'll be happier. To settle your doubt, test drive the P1 vs. the P2 at night. That will make up your mind quick.

Lol, I went from thinking a base C300 4Matic sport with P1 only, and now its a P2, MM, Pano, Teleaid...sheesh. Makes me consider just getting a E350 4matic now at that price

COMAND Navi with HD

Electric side mirrors

Para Steering wheel

Automatic gear shift.

metalic black color.

Paid = 51200 Euros

emps

Invoice is 39,036. I'd be very surprised if you got invoice or below. markups on the C aren't as high as other cars and they're pretty high in demand now. Best i've seen people in the NE getting are about 500 over invoice. But if you do get it for invoice or below, let me know!

Good deal???? What do you think....

BTW, ordered C350 with P2, Panorama, MM in Arctic white. Should arrive next week.

Rick Hunter

Got mine using the Costco Auto Program (invoice + $1000):

C300W4 Sport, Palladium Silver, Black MB-Tex, P2, MM, Pano.

MSRP = 42625
Acquired for 41296

Savings of $1329. Definitely not the best deal out there, but not too shabby for being an early adopter.

Krytech

Arrive next week?!?! You lucky.....person you. I order same -Pano and have to wait TWO months...

lucky6600

got back from several dealer,
There is one that is on the water now,


C300 Sport 4matic, arctic white/black mb-tex, p2, mm, sport package, and pan sunroof. MSRP 41915.

Dealer asked 40235 + tax (6%) + DMV stuffs(399)

schedule delievered in the beginning of Dec.

I think they would take 40000 even. IS this a good deal?

Does anyone have any experience about Balloon financing?

I told them the other dealer offers the costco pricing at $1000 over invoice for C300 and they beat it at $900 over invoice. So always negoicate with costco pricing even if your not a member because you can always be a member in like 10 minutes at the costco store.

Stiggs

Carriage House of New London.

Around $39K seems right. Good luck.

rc55

Thanks for the info. I was told the $500 off MSRP is Costco price discount.

soc_fans

How much off MSRP are you guys getting for the new C300? Particularly in So Cal area? Mind if you could share from which dealership and your sales person details. Thanks!!

Krytech

There is a thread here titled, "W204 Owners - Post how much you paid for it" that covers exactly what you are looking for.

From my observations, cars with MM package are harder to negotiate down. The average $ off seems to be around $2000, but I could be mistaken.

Personally, I was trying to get $2000 off MSRP, but settled for $1000 off MSRP plus a set of winter tires including mounting which I priced out at about ~$850, so all said and done I was getting close to what I wanted.

From what I read and experienced in our neck of the woods - right now you can't hardly get anything off of MSRP. When I asked, the salesman instead tried to steer us toward the E350 since its the last model year and they have incentives on them. But he wouldn't budge on the C-class. Especially if you want MM on it. They had plenty of non-MM cars in stock, but the MM (and also the panarama) is on constraint. If you ordered a car now, you probably won't get it until Mid-Jan or early Feb.

With those types of wait times and the fact that the C-class is so popular right now, most people are glad to just pay MSRP. More power to those that were able to talk the dealership down below MSRP.

Lot of factors go into how much you can get off of a car. If the car is in dealer inventory already then chances are you will get more off of the car than if you had to order it or if the dealership had to trade for it. Common discounts seem to be $1500 for a $40's car and then you work your way down from there. The more options on a car the higher the price, the higher the price the more money the dealership makes and therefore the more money they have to knock off. I can't believe anyone would get a price lower than M.S.R.P. its too in demand at the moment, like the other poster said, if you don't want to pay the price theres a good chance the next guy walking through their door will so they aren't going to want to lose too much money on a car. They do how ever want your business and as long as you don't insult them with some crazy low discount, they will work with you. A real deal is only a deal in the mind of the person thats paying for it, so if your happy thats all that really matters.

I think what's happening is the rest of the world subsidises the great deals that are on offer in the US, it sucks.

Don't forget, however, that at a base level many dealers may want to come down to cinch the sale if for no other reason than for future dealer allocation. That is, if MB dealers are like other auto dealers, and if the c-class continues to be hot, then for the first few months dealers may be motivated to sell c-classes as present sales establish greater future allocation of cars which are otherwise in limited supply from the manufcaturer. In more plain terms, sell 10 this month, while dealer next county over sells only 5, and the higher volume dealer will get more cars in future than lower volume selling dealer. Not that this will necessarily get you a low price, but it may sway a dealer on the cusp?

Finally made the jump. Picking up the car tomorrow. C300 4matic Sport, P2, MM, Pano, Ipod, and Teleaid. $40,440, $2500 off msrp.

atspring

I ordered a C350 on 11/17 with P2, MM, and Teleaid and am paying MSRP. I could have bought one through a non-Mercedes dealer friend and would have saved $1,000, but wouldn't quite have got the car I wanted. Build date is expected to be 1/30 with delivery around 3/1.

40440 is out of door price (+tax and everything) or just for the car?

Tax was just under $1000 because of the trade in, plus registration, NJ tire, title fees.. Out the door was 41672.30.
