Ordered RWD for 11% off msrp + any incentives at time of delivery (I was told it should be at least $1000). After placing order, another sf bay area dealer said they would have beat 11%, but didn't give a specific price. Will update when delivered, probably March.

C400
MSRP 55535
After negotiation 49050

Almost 12% percent off the MSRP which just include the winter event

What do you guys think?

TopGun32

that's what I'm shooting for.

MRSR- 7%, Winter Event $2000 and $1000 dealer incentive bonus cash.

I'm waiting for a North Cal Dealer to approve me through MB Financial first and then see if I can find the car I want.

For me, lighting and airmatic suspension is a must.

No discount for me. They're selling 'em like crazy at MSRP here in Japan. With all the options, it comes to a little over 6.9 million yen. At today's exchange rate that's about US$59,000 (I think of it as closer to US$65k, though, since the exchange rate is ridiculous right now). That's for the C200 with AMG and all the other premium packages and options.

Plus, it's kinda hard to negotiate when the dealer had to search for one of the last German-built W205s to be shipped to Japan. They're all coming from South Africa now, except the wagon (estate) and AMG.

Oh, yeah. The Japan Medical Assn. doesn't get a benz discount here.

One positive thing, though... The 2.0l engine qualifies the car for a tax break, so we don't have to pay about US$1500 of the taxes.

Pretty much the same here in Canada. We get nowhere as close to the Americans

I just signed the docs for my car a couple hours ago.
MSRP - $50,575, selling price - $43,575. I grew impatient waiting for my mid-January car to arrive and the dealer was able to locate a nearly identical car...I didn't order the Blind Spot option but this car has it. My original deal was $6k off MSRP but they were willing to do $7k and pay to ship the car as long as I would agree to seal the deal before the end of the month. I should have the car within the next two weeks.

Congrats on your new car
Blind spot is must have in my opinion
What other options did you get?

howcome

Some of these deals seem unbelievable after my experience. Or maybe I am wrong. Let me know.

Current car $7,000 upside down, 1 year left on lease.
USAA discount $3000.
Willing to put $2,000 Down.
C300 price $45,800.
Lease for three years 12000 miles per year, $780 a month.

The salesman even seemed embarrassed, btw he was great, I walked and will wait for lease to balance out. This was in a southern state.

ohmy911turbo

That's a good discount.
Can you share the details?

Capt Slo

Thanks!
It's a C300
Iridium
Black MB Sport Tex
Premium pkg
Sport pkg
Linden Wood
Lighting pkg
Panorama roof
Blind Spot (I really would've preferred hands free pkg)
Reverse camera
19" AMG wheels in black
3 yr pre-paid maintainance pkg

I did a 36mo/12k yr lease w/$2,500 down = $481/mo with tax inc.
I'm satisfied with the deal.

C400 well equipped MSRP $57,600, paid $50,600. ~12% off MSRP in the SF Bay Area. Very easy and smooth transaction.

joshg1001

That's great to hear. Which dealer was this?

Jon@BMS

Hey guys,

Just picked up a platinum silver C300. Only options are backup camera and Sirius radio. Sticker was $42,800 and they let it go for $35,850 + tax. This thread was really helpful in pushing for a good discount.

Let the tuning fun begin!

grapefruit

That's an awesome deal. What state are you in?

What incentives did they apply?

Jon@BMS

Southern California. The contract just lists the purchase price so I don't know how they classified and/or broke apart the discounts internally. I read here or somewhere 2k of it might be from MB directly and the rest is probably just a dealer discount. All the dealerships seem to have 30x of the C300s so they are not moving well at least in this area. Especially base cars without nav. It's a buyers market. Negotiate accordingly.

Capt Slo

Sweet!...now get to tuning it so I can pick up some ponies!

Hi,

Assuming you got the car from NJ. Do you have dealer and sale rep? Would like to pick up a C300 as well.

Thanks

mihaelb

For someone who is going to the dealer (in the US) soon to order their C class...would you mind asking them if they can order one with a metric (km/h) dashboard?
The deals that are (apparently) available in Canada are not even close to the US ones...

6G Schnell

Congrats Terry and keep us posted on tuning progress

cheerful

I was told the fleet discount is $2,500 and it can't be combined with the winter bonus of $2,000. Anyone can confirm? Thanks

divots

That's correct although similar to the $2000.00 Winter Sale discount, the Fleet Discount can be combined with the $500.00 voucher which was given to those who attended and registered at the October Open House held at many MB dealerships. $2500 Fleet + $500 Open House Voucher equals the largest MB contribution available at this time as the $2000 Winter Sale was scheduled to expire on Nov 30th although it historically gets extended into December.

cheerful

Too bad I did not know about this Open House. Any place I can get one from someone who attended but not interested to buy now?

Thanks

Mercedessophie

Hi there. Just leased a Mercedes C class in SoCal. Palladium Silver MSRP $51,965 selling price $45,529. Residual $33,257. The total drive off was $4000 ($500 of it was fleet discount). Monthly payment $370.35 plus tax $29.63 total $399.98. Lease term 3yr/36mo 7,500 miles a year. Increase by $14/month if wanted 10,000 miles a year. I did not buy the prepaid maintenance, dealers in the area have specials on the A and B services.

6G Schnell

Yes, this was correct statement for November.


I would check if this is still true in December.....
