2008 C300 deal or not?

Hello,

I am about to purchase a 2008 C300 for $25,000 at a MB dealer in Texas. The original "internet" price was $26,000.

It has 35,000 miles, panoramic sun roof, Navigation, iPod connection, leather seats, Logic7 sound system, heated seats and new tires.

Is this a good deal or should I keep looking?

Thanks!

So, the car has the P2 and Multimedia packages and it's still under factory warranty. If the car really does have leather (rarely found, look for stitching on the door panels) then it's likely it was a custom order and not an impulse gotta-have-it-today purchase.

Knowing the history of the car would be worth researching and if the dealer sold it originally.

If you have decided that this is the car for you, don't waste a lot of effort trying to weasel the last nickel out of the deal.

Someone on this forum tried that last week and the car was sold to someone else.

You do realize what the car cost new, I assume. The original buyer took a real bath.

2008 C350 Sport / SAKs Ed.
I just bought a 2008 C350 SAKs Edition with 18k on it for $30,200. Prob not the best deal,but I love the color and equip combo... and the mileage is a big plus as well.The original window sticker was still with the car and it listed for $45k.

Being the SAKS ed it came with the AMG body kit and 18' wheels...along with the white/black interior combo, MM package, HDD..etc.

A little late to ask now,but what do you guys think?

Sorry to highjack your thread !

If it's a CPO vehicle, that's a good price - especially with all those options!

Check the carfax be sure the car is accident free, if no accident, then go for it. Good equip.,fair price, fair mileage. If I am in the market, I will buy this car without reserve, if the car sell buy a MB dealer, haggle for the CPO ( add 1 year after the factory warranty end). Good luck.

Thank you all for your input! I went ahead and bought it today. The carfax report is good and it was a previous lease.
