2012 CLS550, 2014 E350 C,2010 E350 Sport - sold, 2006 CL500 -SOLD, 2006 E350 - SOLD - 2006 Saab 9.3
To Benzcrazy23

Keyes wants to be the number 1 SOCAL Mercedes Dealer - if they think that you'd go to Fletcher Jones they will deal.

Email the internet manager -tell them you're ready to pull the trigger on a 2012 E350 Coupe - CPO etc. - tell them you're shopping them , FJ, Keyes and Long beach -

The black one from Keyes has the goodies -AMG Sport, Adjustable sport seats and more - low miles

Think and believe that this can be bought for $34,995 - $35,995

we got 10k off of 63k list on a 2014 Coupe from FJ in November

you do need to email the internet manager at Keyes and offer them $34,000 for the car - see what they say

You just never know

You do want the Premium 1 package , AMG sport and seat package as a minimum.

Regards and good luck!!!

Good Luck benzceazy23

make sure you email and then call the Keyes internet sales manager - be professional and let them know you're a serious shopper - ready to make the rounds of the local and Orange County Mercedes dealers and will buy within the next 2 days a CPO 2012 E350 Coupe.

finance through Mercedes Financial - the special rate is 1.99% - this way the house will make a little profit on the sale through finance and then after 2 -3 months you can pay if off.

Just a suggestion - also - if you make the deal - in finance offer to purchase an additional 1 or even 2 years of extended warranty - the 1 year - on top of the 1 year CPO and what's left on the original 4 year MFG warranty will be under $1,800

A good investment and peace of mind for up to 4-5 or 6 years of warranty with unlimited mileage.

be smart - cool - know what you want and what you are ready to spend - set the limits in your mind - give a little - expect a lot and in the end you'll be driving home in a beautiful CPO E350!!!

nope, still looking.

I have a deal pending on a 2012 E350 CPO for $33,500.00 plus taxes and license . Silver with black interior. But it has 43,080 miles and I don't know if that is too many miles for a 2012 car. it does have warranty until 2016 or 100K miles. it has the AMG package and the P01 package, but no distronics.

do you think it is a good deal ? even with the high mileage ??

Ben, check this out! CPO from Mercedes Benz Houston North loaded with the P2 package. I checked it out the other day while servicing my vehicle and it looks clean! Can hardly see any swirls or scratches on the paint. There's a nick on the lower right side of the front bumper though so you can use that for negotiation. The best thing about it is it has only 10k miles on it! If only this car was available when MBUSA had the 2-month payment credit and the 2 year free maintenance I would have bought it. Anyway it's still a great deal!

Ask for Joshua Trenary he's a good sales rep. Here's how the MB Houston North and Houston Greenway works - the cars go into 4 buckets depending on how long they're on the lot. You can tell which bucket it's in by examining the last number of the price. Eg. this car goes for $41,991 - means it's in its first bucket. Every 15 days it will drop to the next bucket so you'll see a price reduction of $1-2k.

You can wait for the price to come down or better yet just negotiate with the sales rep and tell him you'd buy it if it's priced in 3rd bucket.

I think the 3rd bucket price for this vehicle would be somewhere in the $38k.

Remember though don't fall for the "oh a deal this great is going to be gone before it hits 3rd bucket". Then again someone reading this thread might just go out there and buy it for the current asking price who knows seems everybody here in Houston have lots of money.

Too late someone bought it already. This thread is great for advertising I should be getting a commission but I did not.

Fellas I am Happy to report that I finally bought my 2012 E350 Coupe Black on Black today.

after weeks of searching I finally found one at a dealer 20 miles from my home. I have been going back and forth with the internet sales Manager. I went in today and brought my Benz home. This thing is loaded:
P2 Launch Package
AMG Package
Parktronics
Lane Assist
Wood trim package
Rear Spoiler
Lane Tracking Package
the car is CPO and it has 19,700 miles. warranty is good until 3/3/2017 unlimited mileage.

It was $43K Out the door.

I am happy with the deal I got. I will take some pictures tomorrow and try to upload so you guys can see the new member of my family.

So - John Adams - pray tell your final purchase

John,

Been traveling and and would like to know what you finally ended up with and where you purchased.

I was in Houston from 3/16 - 3/26 - actually went to Austin, College Station and back to Houston.

Did you purchase your CPO from a Houston MB Dealer??

Hi dk, no I have not and am still shopping. Can't justify a $40k purchase to the wifey. Maybe the 2012 would be in the low $30s next year. Thanks for checking tho

Fellas, is $2495.00 a good deal to pay for extended warranty from Mercedes Benz for Two years.

there is a dealer that is offering me this price if I want to purchase two additional years of extended coverage, but I have to do it before the original warranty that comes with the vehicle expires. The finance person told me that if I buy the extended warranty I can cancel at any time and get a full refund as long as I cancel before the extended warranty goes in effect. Currently my car has warranty until March 2017 with unlimited mileage because it is a CPO vehicle.
Please let me know if you guys think that $2495 is a good deal for two additional years of coverage .

Thanks
