Great deal! Mind if I asked where you got it? I may have to pay them a visit

Starting 7/1/11, CA sales tax will drop 1% so don't buy until 7/1/11.

Unless you're leasing, in which case the tax amount will automatically adjust to the lower rate.

Hold up! So will our Lease payments just automatically go down a bit, starting in July?

Well, to update on my (2nd) E-Class deal....

First one (P2/Pano) was Leased before the '11's came out, which meant the W212's didn't start on their "blowout discount" rates, and the MSRP was almost $57K, and I got it for just under $53K.

Second one, is a P2 car with more Options that get it to just over $58K, and in order to meet my lowered payment after I "swapped" from the last car, the car was brought down to $48K.

Over-paid for the first car, in accordance to todays prices (however, I got a fairly good deal for that time), and got a good deal this time, so I think I'm about decent overall in what I'm paying to Lease this thing.

It's pretty unfortunate as to how much cheesy "price slashing" M-B is doing on this car. Makes prices very much all-over-the-place, and makes it so that people who might have bought a year or two ago, and paying catastrophically more for the same, yet older MY car than the guys Leasing today.

If they can't move them for the listed MSRP's, then bring the MSRP down and do the owners and shoppers a good service! This doesn't just go for the E-Class, but any popular/volume Luxury Car really. The E is a perfect and ideal example, due to its immense popularity and aggressive incentives.

I got it from House of Imports.
Nelson Sanchez helped me, I negotiate the price online.
very nice guy, you can tell him your friend Jack bought a E350 last month for $46,000, then you can negotiate from there, I'm sure you can get a better deal than $46,000....
probably one more thousand off.. good luck!!

Hi all, I was wondering if you guys can provide some input. I read through this thread and every other thread containing e350 and e550 prices. This is my first time buying a car from a dealership.

Required:
2011 New
E350 or E550
Diamond White
Beige / Black Interior
Sport package w/ 5 spoke solid wheels 321
Package 1 package P01
Leather package 201
Wood trim 731

Dealer in TX for E350 wouldn't budge below $55.x. MSRP at $57.x. They were willing to give $2k for conquest as well. So, it would've been $53.x. This included the heated seats and split rear seat. Based upon what I read, this is still too high. They gave me the invoice price and they can't lose money on the deal, blah blah.

I'm considering buying this car in SoCal and shipping and title in TX. Based upon what I read, for 350, asking should be about $48k, with final deal at $50k. I read 10% off MSRP is a good place to start from. Is this possible?

Thanks.

Is everyone referring to edmunds or kbb for their invoice pricing information? Does anyone know invoice pricing for European Delivery? Was considering doing a ED next summer. I did a ED on a BMW 335 few years ago. A BMW forum had great info on invoice pricing for both dealer and ED. Made it extremely helpful to negotiate a great deal. Had to go 400 miles outside of town though. I guess people in Houston have more money than sense. Dealers won't come off sticker around here.

I think you'd be a lot happier with P2,
good luck

Found an E550 P2, Panorama sunroof and Parktronic MSRP $67,050 broke down to $60,000 + DMV fees.... Thoughts?

hyperion667

sounds great saltheman....I didn't get pano or disctronic, but I didnt want them.....and I special ordered my car, and paid more......of course that was in 2010 too....
but it still sounds like a good deal.....of course I'd always try to get them lower...

good luck

After 5 years and 99k miles (and 2 kids), it is about time I grow up, ditch my C320 and join the dark side. My C320 has been a trouble free dd. Plus I don't go on the C boards, I am on this and the GL board mostly.

Here is the E class I have been toying with the dealer over (I wanted a BTC, but they wanted $200 more per month on the lease) and since K-A didn't sell me his car.

E350W2 (gas model) that lists for $60,090 we can lease to you at a price of $52,500.* Better deal than those you found and sent to me.* Car is White/Black with the exact same features as the car under example 1 you sent (except it is a 2-wheel drive instead of a 4-wheel drive model).

Lease terms are:
~1st A service included
~$679.19/month
~$1,590 due at signing (includes first month lease payment)
~33 months
~15,000 miles/year

White
Black MB tex
P02 Premium Package
R08 Wheel package 18"AMG Twin spoke
104 Rear Deck spoiler
240 LED DRL
277 3 spoke sport steering wheel
287 split fold rear seats
321 Sport Package
413 Panorama sunroof
432 Dynamic Multicontour seat

I just switched, traded my '09 E350 near its lease end for a '11. I was actually at an equity point because MB pushed the residuals so low after the baths they were taking on the '06/07s. So, traded it for $32k with a $30.5 payoff. The difference paid for the tags, bank fee and first.

The new one is a loaded car with leather, panorama, p2, multi contour, split fold seats and $62k MSRP. $6,200 off sticker to start, minus $1,500, minus $1,900 for $9,600 off with incentives. This is also my 4th MB from the same dealer.

24 mo lease, $510 plus tax with no cap reduction. A little more than the 2009 lease, but not much. I live right by work, so lease is super low mileage, 7,500 per yr.

Can't beat it for monthly outgo vs. level of car. Liking the contour seats.

Another note; there are lots of cars out there but finding what you want is getting tougher. I wanted pano, split folding seats and tan leather 2 tone and had to have the car brought in from another dealer.
