Hot deal on 2008 C350 or not? That is todays burning Question
Looked at everything under the sun. Was going to buy a Audi A4, but no deals & a wait list for any cars coming. Never been a Audi or Mercedes owner but have had plenty of Luxury cars, ready for something different. So, here's the deal:
2008
Palladium Silver
Black
P2 Pkg
Multimedia Pk
iPod Integration Kit
18" AMG Wheels
$40160 plus TT&L
2.9% financing (big plus)
Any opinions? Bring'em on.........

The dealer is probably discounting it more to move the car off the lot and make room for the 2009 models. If you like the car and don't mind spending about 40K out the door then its a good deal.

IMHO, you should be able to do substantially better (at least on a cash deal).
There is $3,500 in trunk money from MB to dealers until Sept. 2, and you should be able to get almost all of that + the diff between MSRP and invoice -- it's the end of the month, and the end of the model year. Two others and I got $7.1 to 7.5k off MSRP this Summer on loaded C350's.
Good luck!

Interior is cheap looking. Everything is plastic, you can see and feel it.
The list HP is 265, but it feels much slower than the C350. Maybe the torque is lower. I was told by the sales that maybe 2.0T has higher torque than the 3.2.
I was gonna test drive the 2.0T, but when i saw the rear, it's only SINGLE side dual exhaust. I immediately decline to even test drive it.
I am so glad I bought the C350.

I test drove a 2009 Audi A4 3.2 Quattro. Very disappointed. I had such a high expectation since I own a 2006 A6 and it's great.

As for pricing, it probably varies by region, but I was offered a loaded 2009 C350 just arriving into the port for invoice price. Come to find out, it is $600 more than Edmunds "invoice" price due to a $600 advertising fee, but we bit the bullet anyway.

I don't understand why they even build the 2.0T with just single exhaust. they should have kept the dual exhaust style from last model.

I agree 100%. I saw that design error during my trip to Europe. There were lots of new A4's on the road, but the 2.0T has the exhaust on one side, albeit "dual". Looks like a big step backward.
