Good price for 2011 C300?

I'm sure you get sick of these posts, haha.

So, I went down to the dealership today. Test drove a 2011 C300, loved it.
Nav/Multimedia System
Keyless Start
Premium 1 pkg
AMG Wheel package

I'd love to give you all the specifics, but I dont have the quote paper in front of me anymore. The guy that assessed my current car's trade in value at the Audi dealership, threw away my price quote from MB. Went there after MB just to check out what they had. Pissed me off. Anyway...

Those options on a 2011 for 41,970. Sticker was 45,620 I believe. The guy was really pushing to make a sale of course, so I'm wondering if I might be able to get him down a little more as I'm not sure if that is actually a very good discount or not? Left the dealership and told him we'll touch base tomorrow after I think about it a bit. I'm gonna call him up tomorrow morning and ask if he'll email a copy over of that price quote so that I can "talk it over with the girlfriend." Will probably go to the dealership in San Francisco tomorrow morning and see how well they are willing to beat that price. And then see if he will go any lower by chance.

Would love to get some feedback on this situation. Thanks guys

Ah, yes. . . the ol' "discuss it with my wife" gag. Twenty percent of the time, it works every time.

The price is about $750-$1000 below invoice, you may be able to squeak a few hundred more but C300s inventories are a little tight right now.

Thanks! I ended up taking that price to another dealer yesterday, and got the same setup minus the P1 pkg for 39,120. He showed me the invoice and I believe it was 40,790. So I'm happy with the deal I got!

Glad to see you ended up getting what you wanted but something does not seem stack up right. My 2011 stickered for $45,935 and invoiced out at $43,282...are you sure you got the same equipment? (I work for a dealer and there is no variance on what we all pay for our cars which is why it is important to ensure all the boxes checked on the car are exactly the same)
