2004 E-500 Awd

I was just told by my mb dealer that if I preordered a 2004 E-500 AWD with options totaling $65K, the best he could do for me is offer a $500 discount. He said the 04 E-500 AWD will be in short supply thus they cannot offer larger discount as they are on current 03 non awd models.

Earilest delivery would be November. Has anyone received a better discount for this model.

Damian - Will the same hold true for the 320 AWD E? Do you hear rumblings about the 320 engine going to the 370, and if so when?

The 4matic system is the same as before I believe...I doubt if there will be major issues adding that to the E-class. I would think any '04 E class should be a pretty good car.

I agree with 500AMG's comment. I currently own a 2000 E-320 AWD, so adding this feature to the 04 E should not be an issue.

since we have had NO 4matic E320 for a year the list of customers is somewhere around 50 people,we are looking at a 4month wait or so. there will be no discounting as long as there is awaiting list. i hope the larger engine is going to be used, but there has been no word from benz yet. dont sweat the 4matic system , worry about the gateway.
