i hope it's ok to chime in with a quick question.
i'll be able to take delivery on the car this wednesday and i got the final price along with the vin number. so i need to car my insurance and get the car on there but i don't know what my rate is yet. probably will know when i get to the dealer. but should i be shopping now to try and find a good rate or would it be ok to take the rate the dealer gives me for financing, take the car, and then look for a better rate if available to refinance the car?

I'm originally from Oregon so we still use 1st Tech Credit Union in Portland/Beaverton. Which AZ dealer are you working with? C63s are selling like crazy at Schumacher. There was a white on the floor Friday (it arrived Wed/Thursday) and it was gone by the time I went in today. A few weeks ago they had a silver one just like mine (with added premium package) that also sold very quickly. The person who ordered it backed out.
I probably should have shopped around the valley for a better price but I have always had a good experience at Schumacher. Plus it's part of their standard deal that if you special order you pay MSRP (I ordered mine a few months ago). Oh well, like some one else said on this forum I don't mind paying more if I'm getting good service and support :-)

I was #1 on Schumacher's list back in March, but decided to buy through Oregon where we have a place to avoid the sales tax. Both Schumacher (in AZ) and Rasmussen (in OR) quoted MSRP on an ordered AMG.
You other guys getting a discount bum me out...

http://www.firsttechcu.com - I'm not sure what their requirements are. I became a member out of college when I worked in the "Silicon Forest" (computer chip manufacturing).

But, I remember when I got 3.9% back in 2004

I'm sure you can get Rasmussen lower, there are two MB dealers relatively close, so it's possible!

I just got a quote from a local dealer. He said he would give the car to me for 5% off MSRP which comes to $62,235 (MSRP= $65,510).
I think I'm going to take it. I'm going to finance through my Insurance company, State Farm @ 5.19% for 48 months.
Anybody have any comments? Does this sound like a good deal?

I just said you should always check PenFed before financing. They may not always have the lowest, but they will always be competitive. When my Porsche dealer found out I had PenFed, they said they don't bother to compete against them.

You do not. If you do have the association, its free - if you don't, it only takes a $25 donation (that opens an account for you to use).
