Pull the trigger or not?

So I have been researching the Costco Auto Program, and they offer a $1000 over invoice price on the C300 sport.

Would you guys pull the trigger on this deal?

C300 Sport
Auto Tranny
Multimedia Package
18" AMG Wheels
Metallic Paint

Invoice Price = $35,464
MSRP = 38,075

Costco Price = +$1000 = $36,464

Yea or Nay?

I'd go for it. $1000 over invoice is pretty good. I believe most people so far have been paying close to MSRP - I know I did.

$1000 over invoice is a great deal right now on the W204. I haven't made my deal yet with the dealer, but I imagine it'll be close to MSRP.

MSRP on that build comes to 38,075 so you'll be saving 1600. That's not a bad deal at all right now.

Question, are you not even considering P1 with that car? It appears to me that most are going with that at a minimum. Although if you can only choose MM or one of the performance packages I say that is the right choice. That MM system sure will make all of the other lessor "options" less missed!

yea it was basically a choice between p1, p2 and multimedia..

p2 was ruled out, because although i do want the xenons, i can purchase an aftermarket kit for about 1/10th the price of the package.. and i have no need for seat warmers in so. cal, rear sun shade, dimming mirrors.

so to cut costs i just went for multimedia of the 3.

and yes,

MSRP is $38,075, so it's about a $1600 savings.

you guys should look into Costco Auto. it's supposed to be a fixed $1000 above invoice for the c300.

mighty tempting.

I may take a look at it before negotiating my final price. I'm kinda stuck in that the dealer knows I want the car and want it quickly, so I don't think I've got much negotiating room. It would be nice if I could just hand him a piece of paper with a set price on it though.

I was just going to push for some dealer-installed options as throw-ins. Illuminated sills, tint, AMG floormats...

Hi all, I'm a newbie here.
$1000 above invoice seems a very good deal at this moment. I also dont know my final price yet until my car came I guess. MM made me wait for long time man but I guess its worth to wait.
