This is more true for leases. There are so many variables in a lease, it is easy to miss out something at the dealership.
Its good to get all the numbers at home by internet/phone and take your time to analyze them and compare deals.

Start an online negotiation with the internet sales manager. Don't even go to the dealership until you've got a deal you think is fair. There's a thread here with a lease calculation tool. Use it to get a better understanding of the money factor and all the aspects of a lease. Be as informed as you can be.
Here's a link to that thread: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...tructions.html

1) Dealer has a $61,930 MSRP offered me $57,500
$715 x 36 w/ 10k miles & $2700 out of pocket (includes paying off my BMW)
or $730 w/ 12k miels
I havent gotten the numbers with MSDs yet
2) Another dealer has $62,775 MSRP (said they were taking a lot off MSRP and it didnt matter if I knew because their deal was so good)
$756 x 36 w/ 12k miles & $2800 out pocket
if I wanted to do MSDs 10x700 it will bring it down to $689
Any of these good deals? or I can do better?
Considering GLA 45 AMG too after test-driving one 355hp/332tq for 15 and now 2016 comes with new CarPlay + 375hp/350tq

Read through the thread, there are plenty of examples that should give you a good perspective of a decent deal.

Just completed a purchase of a 2016 C450 (my first Merc) on Monday.
MSRP: $60690
After discount: $53000 + tax and license
Many dealers in the area were willing to offer $5K off without me setting foot at their showroom floor, just email inquires. With that, I started with $9K off and eventually settle with ~$7700 off. Dealer is in the SF Bay Area. Salesman was quite nice. We went to the dealership in our 1992 beat-up Camry and he came out and greet us immediately.
I think the deal is decent. Hope this helps anyone who is looking for a C450.

this dealer only willing to give me 3600$ off msrp. she said "my price are flexible, if you find a lower price elsewhere, I will match it". screw you ! if I found a lower price elsewhere, why should I go back to you and give you my business.

Nice. I got basically the same deal here in the Bay Area, 60620$ retail, purchase was 53,250$ + TTL..but that did include my MP 2000$ rebate/fleet discount. I had made the deal back in early November on an ordered car - could have probably tried to re-negotiate after delivery but that's not my style. I was very happy with the deal I got, something for both parties and yes, the differences between dealers even within the bay, sometimes within about 10 miles of each other varied WIDELY.. Some saying they would maybe give 1500$ off, then my 2K, others saying 500$ off then the 2K..so, you get what you negotiate.
I think the importer/manufacturer is happy getting $$$ at this exchange rate to Euros and will take slightly less $$ today than possibly less sales and slightly more $$ tomorrow but at a less favorable exchange rate.

What should be the Doc/Registration fees? I know it depends from state to state but where I live (NJ), there is no cap. My current offer says $890 on those fees and I'm thinking:
-NJ Registration and title = $84
-License plate transfer =less than $20
In my mind this should probably be $300 right and there is still a healthy profit. Just seems like they pad this stuff everywhere. MBFS right now at 4%? Please I just got approved for 2%. Just ridiculous.

pretty certain your vehicle registration is going to be much higher than 84$, that is about 1/6th the fee in CA..isn't there a reg fee based on the vehicle purchase price?
And I would doubt that a dealer would quote an official fee in your bill of sale as something padded and not the actual amount. Most of that stuff would have to be listed in the "additional options" or other fees area I would think.

I scoured the NJ DMV site for all fees associated with a new car and couldn't come up with much. In terms of registration I got this:
http://www.state.nj.us/mvc/Vehicle/Fees.htm
And got to $84. Certainly there is paperwork and labor at the dealership but how long does that take to get processed. Are they making more per hour than what a lawyer would bill at?
