North Carolina Mercedes-Benz Car Dealers

Just purchased a 2011 GLK from Harry Severino at MB on Capital Blvd in Raleigh, and enjoyed an outstanding experience from the comprehensive test drive up to a flawless delivery

I started off looking at the Audi Q5 but did not want to spend the x-tra money. The GLK was not my first choice but I can say I like it more today then when I first bought it so I have no complaints. However, the reason why I bought the GLK is because it had been out a little longer so I found one pre-owned with only 13K miles. I could not find a creampuff like that in the Audi and save the money. I went the the MB dealer on Capital and they were nice enough but did not seem terribly excited about bending over backwards to make a deal. I've seen way better deals being floated around on this blog. I woudn up buying this car through AAA which has a website. Great buying experience, quick, easy, no frills, and they delivered the car for free from Charlotte. Took my trade sight unseen. You can go to the MB on Capital but recommend shoppinng around.

Hi Tony - I'm starting to look for a 2011 GLK and its my first time looking at MB. Can you give me your thoughts on the best buying experience in the Raleigh/Durham area and who's a good person to work with? Thanks.

Storm, Thanks for the assist. I live in Raleigh NC. I realize it is a good idea to negotiate the price down but I am trying to avoid the trap of getting the price down to where I want it and then having them come back with "the current summer lease special is X" which may call for a different selling price. More importantly I am trying to get a good idea of what the negotiated selling price should be for hte GLK350 I described. I always that at or around invoice should be a decent deal. However, I am reading other posts where people or getting 10-12% below MSRP which is $2-3K below invoice. Is the market for the GLK350 really that low and can I expect that or is invoice more realistic. Thanks.

I think 49,000 is really low unless you have some type of super deal. Best I have been offered from 5 dealers in the NC,SC,GA area is 48,850 + taxes and tags. And that is with a 2,000 USAA discount. Good luck though. MB sales were down 31% 09 year to date compared to 08 year to date through August. Down 17% this August compared to last August. I did the Vehix thing also, but not sure how accurate their information really is. The TMV at Edmunds is substantially higher, but then I have always paid well below TMV anyway.
