For my car, they want 224 000 PLN (~65800$) I Paid 194 000PLN (~57 000$)

So it's 13.5%

C250AMG

Got 13.5% discount in UK, just because they messed up my order & wasted my time.

My dealer here told me they would sell me any ordered 2016 Mercedes for $1000 over invoice.

Please don't hate me for saying this, but it's a very bad deal you got. Last Christmas, they offered me the same price for a brand new C300 without me even negotiating. Granted the discount is different now, but for a used one, it sounds like a rip off

No worries, I posted my numbers to get feedback, and I thank you for your feedback. How much do you think I could have aimed for? According to KBB, fair value was 36,892, and according to Edmunds, 35,654. Could I have aimed for 10-20% off the 34,881? Or maybe 10-20% off the sticker price of 36,998? According to TrueCar, the MSRP would have been 41,625 for a new one.

stealth.pilot

I think he misinterpreted you. He thought MSRP was 36,900.

Based on your MSRP you paid 82% of MSRP. I do think it was a bit high but not bad. I think fair value for a used after one year is 75-80% of MSRP. However this car is still current year since 2016 don't arrive till next month. I bought a CPO too for 78% of MSRP but mine had an extra 3k miles.

I didn't misinterprete anyone. I know what the msrp is for a 4matic. The base model was 40,400 at the time and the dealer offered me to do 34k. The one I bought has msrp 44,600 and I paid 36k for it. That's why I thought his was a bad deal, considering it's used.
For this car, using KBB wouldn't be right. They deduct certain percentage from msrp to calculate fair value. But if the car is sold new with 20% off msrp, even if they subtract 15% off msrp after one year, it might still be higher than some of deals people got

What they do is give the excellent deal up front on leases, but if you look at the payoff on your contract carefully, after lease is up it's the same as MSRP when vehicle is fully paid.

Hi Everyone,
First post here. I appreciate all of the great info on here.

I'm looking to lease a C300 when my current lease is up next year. My question is, has anyone used an auto broker to buy/lease their cars? These are "non-traditional" dealers that negotiate directly with MBFS, usually significantly cheaper than a dealership, and they deliver the car to your door. e.g. The Lease Outlet, Evolution Leasing (FL).

Thanks in advance!

I think you should be able to get the sale price down another 2,000 or so.

How much are people paying for a C300 in San Diego or the southern California area? Should I be aiming for approximately 13% off MSRP?

amp512

Wow...what a rip-off!

Not only did I get 13.2% off the sticker price on my ordered 2015 C300 Sport 4Matic, I got $3,000 MORE for my trade than what two BMW dealerships offered me.
