Is this a good price?

I'm being offered a new 2004 CLK320 (Pewter on Charcoal) with no options other than the sunroof for $46500 OTD from Fletcher Jones Mercedes in Southern California. Is this a good deal? Can I do better? Thanks in advance.

Well, i am not sure if thats a good offer or not, but I just bought a pre-owned certified CLK500, well all options besides distronic (keyless go, command, bi-xenons, phone, parktronic, Voice command) with 10k miles and 5 year 100k mile warrenty for 46k. I don't know if this will help you or not but i thought i'd just throw it out there.

You can definitely do better than that. My 2004 CLK320 in April was $43,600 before taxes. It has lighting package, keyless go, and sunroof package. Even a bone stock CLK320 on carsdirect.com is $41,570 and with 8.25% tax, that comes out to around $45k.

MSRP was $49,000 or so and it seemed like it was $3000 - $4000 below invoice, so I assumed that I was getting a great deal.

...this one has the Sunroof Package. Isn't that worth the extra $1500?

from what i hear around, fletcher jones marks up the price a bit more than other dealers. but they sell the most benzs because of the after service they provide. carwash, shoeshine, manicures, lounges, airport shuttle, airport parking, etc. sounds funky but it works. im sure you can find a better deal somewhere else. try caliber motors or house of imports and shop around.

They don't offer shoeshine or manicures...

I purchased a Starmark vehicle for someone very close to me and i've been with her when she gets her car washed at FJ many times (even today!). I've never seen any of this, but i'll be sure to keep an eye out the next time we go... thanks!

price

in fl, mine was $41,750 before acq fee.
'04 320
black, charcoal
sunroof package
lighting package (hids)
wood wheel
MSRP was just shy of $50,000

but i leased mine, so they're making the $$ on the vig.
I think they really discounted the car to make the deal work, as the '05s were arriving...picked it up in July.
