C300 Sport LOADED
PROUD NEW OWNER OF C300 buying experience.
Hi everyone. I just got White Artic 2009 c300 w/P2,MM,Panoramic sunroof, Sport package, 18" AMG Wheel. MSRP was 43580, and I was able to get it lowered to about ~42000.
My experience was pretty cool. I went to dealership with my uncle who owned bunch of Mercedes(S-class, GL, SL), Corvette Z06, IS F. He is good at dealing. First dealership was where my uncle purchased previous benz. He know many sale and fiance manager. Although it would have been great place to buy, I didn't see the car i wanted. So we went to second dealership (This dealership is known for hard-to-deal). They had C350 with MM for ~43800. All they were willing to do was 1000 off MSRP. My 2004 G35 coupe trade value was 9000. I was mad. Thekelly book showed me 14750 for my G35coupe. Then they said, 11000 is the best they can do, leave it or take it. So, we called the first dealership and explained situation and told them to beat this deal and we will drive over there. The manager told us that they will give us any car for just 700 over Invoice price. Any 2009 c class! HOW NICE, I thought. They had one I wanted on 'hidden area' of dealership. Since my uncle was such a royal custumer, they gave us this deal. They took my G35 for 12200. So, we seal the deal and it was very pleasant experience there after.
So, long story short, I got fully loaded C300 for just below 42000.
Hope this was a right decision, as I love this car and only white fully loaded car I found in 3 mercedes benz dealership.
Hehe, now I gotta get yellow film for FOG and tint the car.

Congrats. Sounds great. I saw a C300 Luxury with Sport Appearance package, Pano, Multimedia and the AMG wheels, black/gray with wood interior at Arrowhead Mercedes, and I actually got to liking it - killer combo.
Good job. Any pics soon? I would love to see it.
