007ML500

Has anyone called MB to see what their new buyout is on their CLK? I called the other day on my 2007 E350 (P1, Sport, 22,000 miles) and they knocked $15,000 off without me even asking for a discount! I image the CLK's are also being discounted because of the new body style and weak economy. I was very very tempted to buy my E350 at that price but I'm looking to get into a CLK550 this time. If anyone has a CLK550 they do not want at the end of the lease keep me in mind. A plus to this is you would not have to pay the $595 lease turn in fee.

so how much were they letting you walk out with the E350?

The original price was $43,000...adjusted price is $28,000.

15K off w/o asking - what did you say to get them to offer that up. I fairly new to this process and have a similar lease about up and I'm curious to know where to start.

I didn't say anything. I simply asked them what the current pay off was for the vehicle. They told me what the contract price was and then told me what the market adjusted price was. I tried to negotiate an even lower price but they would not budge. I turned the car in last week and the dealer already has it listed for $3k more than what I could have purchase it for.

how come you didn't buy it? did it have the panoramic sunroof or the xenon lights? what other options did it have? are you buying another e350?

No Pano or Xenon. It was a P1 with Sport package and iPod kit. It was a good price and a very nice car but I'm looking for a change and something with a little more power. My current search is ALL over the place but I'm looking to buy a CLK550, CLK55, SL500, E55, BMW 6 Series, or a Corvette. There all nice cars and I'll probably end up with which ever one I find first that is too good of a deal to pass up.

Having just gotten a CLK550 I have to say that it is the way to go over the CLK55. I too was also tempted by an SL500/550 but I think the CLK is more practical w/ 4 seats.

I've got an '07 CLK550 and my buyout was reduced to just over $32K. If I remember correctly, they knocked off 6$K from the get go. My car is basically loaded -- Nav, P3, satellite, etc....

007ML500 - if you are really serious about wanting a CLK550, let me know. I'm about to extend my lease for a few months to give myself time to find a 4 door (it's getting to be too much of a hassle to take the little one in and out of the back seat). I'll even throw in my Carlsson 1/16 (18x8.5 f and 18x10 r), Goodyear F1 GS-D3s (about 80% tread remaining) and Brabus springs for a couple hundred bucks extra as I doubt I will stay in the MB family. I've got just over 17K miles on my car and it is in escellent condition.

atl2nyc - Thanks for the tip. I sent you a PM with some questions.

Xenon only comes in the P2 or Saks packages.
