2018 GLC300W, Selenite Grey Metallic
I apologize for my typo's. I was so excited last night that I pressed SUBMIT without checking my reply.

So here it goes:

GLK350, 4MATIC, Arctic White, Almond/Blank Interior, Walnut Trim, UMI, and 19" wheels. I got 0.99 % APR for 66 months.

They were trying give me 1.9 % APR for 66 months. I told them that it's advertised in the MBUSA website until April 30,2009.

The UMI is amazing plus the LIVE traffic messages. It's best option for $1,200 for the base GLK or C class.

Thanks,

Congrats on the purchase!
According to mbusa.com website, the interest rate is 1.9% for up to 66mths.
Where do you see the 0.99% rate at?
Also, Is the UMI a dealer add on for 1200 on top of the prices you listed earlier?
Thanks

Not that it's any big deal?
Either your mistaken or your dealer is pulling a fast one?
I just bought my GLK350 on 4/8/09 and I got .90% interest rate.
Some sites do say .90% and most now say 1.9% including commercials.
Either way we both got unreal interest rates especially being for a 2010!

Good luck with your new ride!

I just looked at the mbusa.com website under 'specials' and it clearly says 1.9% up to 66months...
I could not find anything that said less...

Hi Asian Dude,

I saw it last week in the mbusa site. All the dealers here in Southern California knows this. Of couurse, you'll need to tell them that you want 0.9 % APR otherwise, they will only give you 1.9 % apr. This rate is only good until April 30.

The UMI was already installed part of the car included in the $34,900 (33,700 car + 1200 umi).


Thanks,
GreenArcher85

As I've stated before. The money can be made in the front or back. Its almost like buying a point when you mortgage a house.

Say you wanted 0.9% APR in 66 months. but MB financing is 1.9%, you tell the dealer you want 0.9%, otherwise the deal is off. He will look at the margin, say he was selling to you $1000 above invoice, he has room to give and depending on your borrowing amount he may knock off 1% and cover the difference with the $1k.

vice versa, a dealer may give you an amazing price but make the money in back end financing.

Its always best to negotiate down as much as possible. Never give out financial info directly. Go with "maybe", "depends" etc. Dont' answer questions like "what's your budget?" "Finance/buy or Lease?" Always tell them you want to try out the car and lets see what the PRICE of the car is and then you will decide to buy/finance/lease....

but do tell them you are ready (if you are indeed) and when you would like to seal the deal (next week, next month, etc)

Hi AsianDude,

Check out http://www.mbzvalencia.com/specials/index.htm

You'll see the 0.9 % for 66 months advertised until April 30. You can use this in bargaining.

Thanks,
