Looking to pick up an 07 or 08 R350 in Bay Area
My wife wants a car with 3 rows so we are checking out the R350. Seems like for an 08 every dealer out here wants high 30's to low 40's for a CPO with around 30K miles. The 07's for similar mileage and options are about 4K less.
Are these just way too much? I keep finding posts in here about low 30's or high 20's and am wondering if I should just look outside of the bay area or just really lowball their "asking price"
Thanks

My R currently has 9600 miles on odometer after 2 years and I would not mind sell it for mid $35000 but I love my R so I decided to keep it and installed myself a GPS Navigation system for less than $700. The DVD drive itself is $1950 and dealer refused to retrofit it.

Mid thirty's is a good deal for an '08, this was the official year MB made the AMG styling standard. IMO the '06 & '07 look dated by comparison, not that I don't like the '06 & '07 it's just the AMG kit makes the R look more up to date. Our '08 listed at $42K CPO with 25K miles. We got out of the dealer for $30K + Lic & Tax. Keep in mind though I've also bought three Mercs from this dealer in three years and sent my dad in this past January to by a new W212 E350.

I think if you want a less option models, you can probably get it for low 30 or even high 20 even on 08 since base end models are harder to sell.
To me, R-class must have Nav, parking sensor, heated seats, power lift gates and pano roof. Mine also has power tilt steering and folding side mirror, 3 zone a/c, interior light package (interior door handles and foot area are lid with dim light, and third row reading lights) and chrome trims and etc.
I was not lucky enough to get the $25K R500 at that time, which was sold in less than 1 day during Thanksgiving weekend, which has everything possible such as HID and Key-less-go.

Well we made the plunge
R350 with 31,XXX miles
Capri Blue with Grey MB Tex
Brown Birds Eye Maple
P2 Package
18 inch wheel package - R41
Lighting Package - 319
Heated Front Seats
Ipod Connection
Bluetooth Adapter
Roof Rack - all for under 34K
Got them to add on the 2 extra years of warranty and they matched Lisa's price.
Thanks for the advice and I am glad I used search on here before buying!
Now the only thing it does not have is rear DVD - what are people using aftermarket these days? Anyone try FloTv??

I am in SF Bay Area. I have been monitor the R-class since September 2008 til now. I got my 2006 R350 with 24000 miles for $27K loaded in showroom condition in and out. The car looked like it was never been driven.

So far the only thing I have noticed that does not seem right is on the Passenger side rear suspension, it really makes a squeaky noise. My neighbor is about 240 and when he sat in the rear seat there was a very audible squeak somewhere from the rear suspension. Is this a known sound??

We're on the hunt too... looking for a 2008, <30K miles with P2 Package.
I generally seem to be able to get $2.5K off the "Special Internet" price which puts them somewhere in the $32-35 range (depending on Color/Miles). We're probably gonna pull the trigger today...
What are other people getting?
