Hi Rich I am considering a number of cars including the C330 4 matic. Can you tell me where you received this offer? What dealer did you go to in CT? What kind of gas mileage are you getting around town and on the highway. Good luck with the car. Thanks for your input.

White Plains (Pepe) Mercedes - ask for Paul Research - google search of all cars in category you are looking for at least 3 months before you are looking - then look to see what incentives each make is offering and any special discounts ( in mercedes case fleet discount -- i now know it may be possible to join USAA which would give a big fleet discount next time) go to dealerships or call at least 2 months before you want to take delivery - you will get an idea of which ones really want to deal - they will call back with some "special authorization" the dealership has. In my case we were looking at Jeep, Nissan and believe it or not Suzuki because this was a third car for the family - we had a Pathfinder coming off lease and if we didn't hate the car so much would have named our price on a new one because the new local Nissan dealer called me 20 times and admitted how slow they were and wanted to make a sale. It got to the point where i had to tell them that i would not come to them except to drop off my leased car - which i did on saturday. While shopping on line, I saw online "good" deals on mercedes and decided to call for the heck of it - ironically the dealer i called first was the one i made deal with after calling 5 other mercedes dealers and reading posts on here that gave me an idea of "fair" numbers. Thankfully I am in a position to afford the car but that doesn't mean i wasn't going to haggle the hell out the dealer. Don't be "afraid" to low ball - especially on a high end car - they have many customers who take the first offer! and definitely tell them you are looking around for other cars and at other dealers - this dealer did not want to lose me to another mercedes dealer nearby - ironically one i never called but they thought i was going to go to! That is key - have the attitude that YOU are buying a car - DO NOT let them try to sell you a car!!! Dont tell them a number you want until you are really close to what you feel is "fair." They have a way of always adding on something that will add to price. A large dealer will be willing to make less to not lose a sale - smaller dealerships seem to have their limits unless they really need to move a car to meet a manufacturer's number or goal. I also knew i was going to take some time off for the holidays and wanted to "enjoy" the process as i did when i was younger and had the time. ** Be willing to take a nice drive to get your car - i got my 2005 vette (first year of C6) in CT about 2hrs+ from my house - took my wife to lunch that day and saved a few thousand because that dealership wanted to sell the two they had in order to get more vettes from GM. When i got my 2008 vette i realized there was equity in my lease - i made a different dealer buy the 2005 and used the 3000 profit to lower the negotiated price of the 2008 - again i did not use it as a down payment! I Know it might be better to negotiate as if you are going to buy then get a lease number but in this case i knew there was 2000 lease "cash" available and 1775 dealer cash -- plus there is dealer hold back etc that no matter what is dealer profit. I took the approach of a zero down (except first payment) drive off. The reason is simple - if you put 5000 down and the car is totalled you are screwed! This happened to me in 2001 - i had a 7 month old vette that was totalled - i had put down about 3000 at drive off and got screwed - a lower payment is not worth it! If you want/need any more info or advice feel free to ask - i think getting good deals is possible for all of us because of the sharing of info!!! Ron

Just wanted to let everyone know that I got a great deal on a 2010 E350 Sport P2 with AMG Wheel package. The dealership was Freehold Mercedes in NJ and I dealt with one of the Managers over there. I had a not so pleasant experience with the initial salesman but the situation was rectified by the hard working managers who were very accomodating. I got some fantastic offers from other local dealerships in NJ/NY/CT, but they matched what I thought to be an un-matchable deal offered to me by another dealership further away. Only problem is now my wife wants to trade in her 08' Lexus GX470 for a GL that she saw there lol
