Great News!
I have to admit that I was feeling pretty dissapointed after not receiving a VIN# or even a build date... I called and asked my salesperson and he told me that the only CLK500 he showed on his list was for the launch.
Well today he called me and informed me that he was mistaken, and that the car that is on the water is, in fact, mine. It will be at VPC the 1st or 2nd- he asked me if they could keep it a couple of days for people to see- elated with the news I said, "Sure." I bought a digital camera today and assure you that the second it gets here I will be snapping away.

Anyone want a 2002 CLK430 w/ less than 6,000 miles?

Is your arrival August 2nd at the VPC or the dealer? Mine is going to be at the VPC on August 2nd and then takes 5-7 days for processing. Then we have to see when Mercedes Benz lets them out to the dealers which is anytime between August 1st to the 15th!
Good Luck!

Hei guys , I have a question about prices
1. Do you guys buy the new CLK in MSRP basis?? or does it have an extra charges since it is the first production?
2. Is it possible for us to get the new E/CLK below MSRP, like invoice price?
3. I ordered the new E which will come end of august, and the dealer promise me that he will sell it within MSRP price, Is it a good deal?? The reason I ask this question is because my friend ordered a 2003 ML with 2000 below MSRP.
I also post this in W203 forum. I hope you guys can give me opinion regarding this.
thanks in advance
btw, Good luck for benzo

I don't believe your friend ordered an '03 ML with 2000 below MSRP, whats the name of the dealer and I'll order my CLK from them, that is unheard of, MB hardly ever discounts at all, if you get the new E at MSRP you are winning b/c they can sell it for more if they want.........your friend might be BS'ing you...

Anyone get 2003 model below MSRP?????
To Young ,
Yes you are right, in Southern Cal , dealers do have great discount even for current model, but I don't know how much they willing to give.
btw, many thanks for the reply

You probably have a tough time selling your CLK430. It tpook me lesser time to sell my BMW than CLK. Maybe CLK worth more but I don't know, if I didn't have a friend helping me I would give up and traded in for a lot less.

The assumption that a lot of people have money is correct, but in So. Cal. MBZ dealers are almost as plentiful as McDonald's!!! There is a great deal of competition & each dealer is looking to undercut the other to move a piece of metal. Now, on new models you might as well forget it, until the market is flooded with cars and then it becomes the "Who can go the lowest" show!
I know the market is totally different on the East coast and Mid West, but if you look at it this way; those dealers do not get as many cars allocated to them, so they must maximize thier profit. Unlike some dealers in So. Cal. that have 100 C240's on the ground, you do anything to get rid of them!!!!
P.S.
Your friend (I think) is feeding you a line of B.S. about the discount on the '03 ML!!!!

2000 E-class
Hi MarcusBenz, I tried to order the new E-class from House Of Import at the end of June and talked to a guy, I believe his name is Daniel Di Conti. He said, I cannot order the car now, He wants me to wait until August( or until the car is in the showroom). I lived in San Bernandino and drove about 2 hours plus traffic jam to House of Import and got no luck for ordering one. the reason that i am willing to drive 2 hours because i heard that you guys are great, but......i cannot order one from you and ended up ordering one in encino Auto Stiegler. My question is that do you( House of import) really not taking any order for the new E?
thanks
btw, you guys have a great showroom

That is completely the opposite of what he should have done. Let me take a guess and ask you a question, did he try to push you into a MY02 E320? Sorry that I got off the subject, but he is not one of my favorite people and to answer your question; Yes, the House of Imports does take deposits on the '03 E320. If you are still interested in doing business with us & would like to get your car quicker than from Auto Steigler, contact Mr. LIAN in the Marketing Dept. (714-562-1100) ask for him and tell him that I told you to call. He is a good salesperson and a even better person to deal with, will take very good care of you in the matter!!!!

I appologuise for your incounter with Mr. Di Conti, he is not my definition of a Mercedes-Benz Sales Representative.

Hi MarcusBenz, Thank you for your answer and information. Unfortunately, I have put my deposit in Auto Stiegler and my car has been built so there is no way I can cancel my car. I am sure I will deal with you or other sales person in House of import for my next MB car. Also it will be nice if I can deal with you directly, Can I know your name? Are you also a salesperson in HOI?
thanks
thanks
