Page back a bit, and I think you'll see where Mercedes Financial was selling R350s to their lessees for $23K-$27K.. For a CPO from a dealer, you'll probably have to add $4K-$5K to that, to make a deal... Or, get the current auction value in Real-World Trade-In Values Read More...

I'm from Australia and this is my first post - I have a 2006 R350 which I purchased 7 months ago from a Mercedes Benz dealer. It is a 6 seater with "touring pack" which means that it has the removable console in between the 2nd row seats. I love the car, it has a couple of very annoying electrical bugs - thankfully not the battery draining issues that I have read about elsewhere ... Read More...

I was told by a technician at my local dealer that this is normal and I have a tough time believing this. anyone have any experience with this? Read More...

I think your numbers might be a bit optimistic. Back in October, 2006, Mercedes was offering $10,000 marketing incentives, and the dealers were willing to go about $16,000 under MSRP, not invoice. Of course, the vehicles are still not moving (witness the demise of the R500), and you might succeed. Please post your findings when you are finished negotiating. ... Read More...

I have a 2006 R500 that I internet shopped in the L.A. area. I got a local San Diego dealer to match. I would try that first. Having said that, I have a 2005 Jaguar X-type that I bought from Jaguar of South Bay (Torrance, CA, about 100 miles from home), and I have only had the vehicle serviced locally at the only San Diego Jaguar Dealer. They have been absolutely courteous ... Read More...
