Shopping for 08 350

Currently consider options as:
P02, P01, 220, 297, 287, 333
Anything else worth for consideration?
It looks like current price is $10K off sticker. Could somebody get better deal like $12K off?
What's a good dealer in SFBA for quick negotiation? I dealt with Autobahn Motors in past and they looked as tough guys acting mostly like main stream dealers.

881 - Electronic trunk closer is pretty cool.

Are you planning to lease or purchase?

I'd seriously consider an '05 upwards E500. You owe it to yourself to exp. an MB V8 with 340 ft/lbs of torque @ 2,700 rpms if you haven't done so already. Just a suggetion. Good luck in whatever you choose!

When I was shopping the Oakland MB Internet Representative was responsive but did not have options and color in stock. Sam LA. There was another dealer in San Francisco that was pretty good but I made a purchase before he was willing to lower the price. MBUSA.COM has all the dealers listed by State. You can build and send to the dealers in the area. Most will reply within a day or less.

I used this approach when purchased my current E. Indeed it worked well, however I hoped to save some time using direct references from this forum members.

They do reply very fast. Some are up front and others never state what they are willing to sell. I usually make the offer and work from there. I bought two MB from one dealer in LA and the other in the South Bay Los Angeles County and the last one out of state.
