I'm also a recent MB purchaser, so I have very little experience. I think it's important to note that the MBs come with a 4 year 50k mile factory warranty. This has most likely expired on a 2009. From what I've read, people recommend extending the warranty because MBs are pricey when they break. I'd look at how much the extended warranty is going to cost when considering the purchase.
I love my car! I definitely recommend MB.

Questions:
Is this from an MB dealer? or at least a mjor brand nae dealer?
Is this the sal price on the car and what was their original price?
Find out the Black book values and retail values and report back to me.

If its not cpo and a brand name dealer, i would check everything mechanical. Check for flood damage too. Alot of the north east used cars has flood damage and it was repaired and does not show on the car fax. Have a mechanic friend take a look at it

+1 - Good points above. Look over the car very well. Spot wat may has been changed and what is definitely original. Check all bolts for the body under hood, lines on car, overspray, interior signs of water, etc...

Welcome to the forum. I purchased my 19th car last week and have a lot of experience buying from dealers. I can help you here. First off do not get attached to the car yet.
Questions:
Is this from an MB dealer? or at least a mjor brand nae dealer?
Is this the sal price on the car and what was their original price?
Find out the Black book values and retail values and report back to me.
Cheers,
Adam

the price was listed on their website as 19,999
and the manager won't knock off a cent on the price.

In this case they are probably I to it for 18 or 19... how long have they had the car? Check a few other comparables and if it falls in line they its likely on par with a fair deal. Nothing wrong with a fair deal...

I've check around the area and this the price its going for, some of the dealers with the same price are basically just used car dealer lot and I'm not going there for sure. The dealer I'm getting the car from has BMW, MB, Audi Acura and 5 more brand cars. Brother gave me a green light and we are taking home the car. They said the car still have warranty but maybe couple months left, how do I find that out ? for a piece of mind I bought a 4yr/60,000 miles powertrain warranty. now I'm a new owner of 09 C300 awd sport. Palladium Silver with AMG front spoiler and side skirt. now time to put the car seat in the back. lol Thank you all.
