I may take you up on that offer but I just got a phone call from another dealer, the car he has on the lot is what I want but has the voice control, so another $500, bringing the MSRP close to $59,000 and he is quoting me a selling price of under $54,000.

$4,100 drive off (all fees, 1st month, bank, etc etc up front) and $668/month for 12k/yr. I then asked what if we reduced the drive off to $3,000 and he is saying about $700.

Seems you still have a better deal, you don't have the $2,000 AMG package but you have other items that increase your MSRP about $3,000+ over mine and you still have much better with the payments.

I tell you if a dealer tells me $3,000 and $650/mo, I am in there the same day with my check book... I assume that is probably close to $52,000 selling price.


I am always shocked at the various quotes I get from salesman and how different they are, I think that may be for a few reasons which I can relate too. I am a real estate broker, very busy (even in this market) and when someone asks what I offer and how much is the commission I just tell them the number and it is usually the lowest I will go, take it or leave it. They usually sign up right away. I think some of these sales reps are just smart and know if you give the best damn price you will get a sale, vs trying to play hardball and possibly losing a potential buyer as some of these dealers have. Then you have the real busy salesman who need maybe 1 more car to hit a goal and they don't care how much they make on it... who knows? I do very similar things every month trying to hit a certain number of closed deals so I wonder if that is the case or is this particular dealership much larger and has better prices then smaller dealers?

Ok, just heard back from another salesman from another dealership, I guess they are starting to get anxious with the end of the month approaching, here is the quote I got so far:

27 months, 12000 miles @ 620.88 per month with 3537.31 due at inception.
If taxes are in the lease the payment is 671.15 per month with 2351 due at inception.
MSRP of the car is 58,620.

Seems to be the best so far. I just left a voice mail to get me the payments based on 39 months so I can compare apples to apples. He is also going to give me the selling price he is basing this off of.. seems really good now...

I've called my guy-he's out to lunch right now, but tell me what features you are looking for specifically (He swapped for my car from [ironically] White Plains MB). I'll tell ask him to get me a price and I'll let you know what it is.

DieselNY

I have an appt. with Dirk at White Plains MB tomorrow. Small world. Dirk is new so I do not think that is the guy you went too?

2008 Black/Black E350 - 4matic - $52,400
P01 Premium I Package- $2,410
057 iPod Integration Kit - $425
321 AMG Sport Package- $2,000
600 Headlamp Washing System $100

The most recent quote I got from another dealer included the $500 voice control, so the MSRP was close to $59,000.

Your deal seems to be the best so far, with $10,000 off MSRP:

Total paid at signing; $2939
$635.44 per month for 39 months with 12,000 miles per year


Your total MSRP is $3,000 higher than mine yet your final deal is much much better. I would love to have the P02 instead of P01 which would only increase my MSRP another $1,800 yet still be under your total of $62,000.

Thanks so much.

I bought the car at Globe Motors in New Jersey but he swapped a car they had with White Plains to get the car I wanted.

DieselNY

Yeah when I bought my Acura in Westchester they got the car from NJ too, I see that often.

Let me know if your Globe Motors guy can still give the sick deal you got, I should know Wednesday evening if my local dealer can do it.

sounds like gstatus can beat this but I talked to my guy and he's out tomorrow but said he could do a similar or better deal since you're looking for a lower MSRP. I'll send you a PM with his contact info.

I would have called you last month. Too late for me this time around.

DieselNY

Hey LRM1 - you got any pics of your Benz?

LRM1

No, but I'll take a few.

if you wanna see pics of mine, www.virex.com/e

DieselNY

Well seems like I will be using this forum for another 3 years, it is official today Thanks for all the help, I got a very good deal that I did not need to go crazy calling even more dealers that I already have and even added the $995 rim/tire coverage and still working on if I want them to tint the windows for me prior to Monday's pick up. They just charge so damn much but I would prefer the dealer do it so if they scratch the car during the process then I will make sure they fix it.

LRM1 - would love to check out pics of your ride.

Virex - very nice.. same as mine and I want to at some point add the CL Grille and the rear lip spoiler, as I saw it on the C class today and it really polishes the car off and flows very nicely.

dsbull

what deal did you get ?

DieselNY

$596/mo, $2999 drive off, I also ended up going for the $995 wheel/tire warranty not calculated here.

LRM1

Cool. Congrats!!! That is a damn good deal.
FYI, my dealer was only charging $795 for the tire/rim coverage and I thought that was high since for the Audi it was only $400. Maybe I should reconsider getting it. A co worker of mine was just told he has four bent rims (ouch!) on the same car.

DieselNY

Yeah the sales rep kept telling me to get it and don't even think twice about it. He has the same car and he has already messed up his rims/tires. Reason why I did it without thinking was that on my Acura TL I have gone through so many rims/tires that I wish I had the rim/tire coverage. With all the pot holes and bad winters and crap, I think its worth it. If the tires were big fat round suckers like on a 4 door chevy then I would not think it is needed, but the tires are low profile and will get messed up as will the rim if a pot hole is hit, and those pot holes love to find me out on no where!!

LRM1

I went through three tires due to potholes in two years in my Audi (never any rims though), so I regretted not getting the $400 insurance. I was all set to get it on the Benz, but when he said $795 I thought, that's about 3-4 tires before it begins to pay for itself. Now I find out rims are getting bent and it doesn't look so bad.

I know New York roads, New Jersey ones aren't much better. There has been so much construction around here you can't go anywhere without gouging a tire. My street right now is being repaved-due to the weather they scraped it but now won't pave till Monday. Meawhile my driveway is now almost 8-10 inches off the road. It takes me about 5 minutes to pull in and out so as not to destroy my car.
