Anyone purchase a MY2019 C43 estate/wagon? If so, can you please share the deal? By chance, if in Alberta, which dealership do you go too? Either lease, finance or cash purchase. Thanks

Anyone encountered any wheel skipping/hopping/crabbing on full lock turns? I think it is most prominent in European GLC 43s but not sure about the GLCs we have here. Thanks

The new GLE looks amazing! I wish they still made a diesel option... my 2013 ML350 diesel is still going strong at 170 000 km!

Hello,
My partner and I just bought a new 2019 Mercedes C300 Wagon and want to know if we got a good deal out of it. Location - BC
Car includes - Night Package, Permium Plus, Metallic Paint, Heated Steering Wheel, + other throw ins that came with the car which we didn’t really care much for but it was prebuilt like the satellite radio etc.
Got $3000 dealer discount + The 3 month Waiver (Factory). We realized that the margin % would be low if we asked for more cash discount as the car is only 3 months old and we had shopped around at other Mercedes Dealers so we decided to get more in the accessories pile so we got the following + a couple hundred off the extended warranty:
Accessories Included:
[*] 2 Bike Racks
[*] Roof Rack
[*] Cargo Tray
[*] All season Winter Mats
Any feedback would be great as we have put the $750 deposit down and we are having a bit of a buyers remorse on if we should have waited a bit longer for a better deal or we should be happy campers with the deal we got!
Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Booble told 2019 C43 would be 4% off easy, 5% with a little work, and 6% would be great.Ninar53 wrote: ↑ Hello,

So for a C300 it has to be at least this...sales are dropping and interest rate are raising. I expect dealers to be open to move cars...

I don’t see why not. Dealers need to clear them any which ways they can, but you will not see more factory credit than now. You can work on the dealer side discount though.

Hi Booblehead. Thanks for your help!
Moving from the BMW thread to Mercedes.
I'm in Ottawa.
Looking at the 45 month lease for the B class 4Matic.
See the following offers:
-Receive 3 monthly payments on us
-$2000 cash credit (2019) /$3650 (2018)
-1.9% APR
-$750 CPA Canada
Any insights on what kind of deal I should be aiming for are much appreciated.
Is there a big difference between MY 2018 and MY 2019 B-Class?
I was unsuccessful with my negotiations with BMW, maybe there is a better strategy for entering into negotiations?
Thanks so much.

No difference 18 vs 19. If dealer still have the 18 in stock, then you can find out the payment first and compare to 19. Last I heard, the 18 is offering around $4,000 in factory credit + 3 waived payments and you can aim for around 6-7% dealer side discount.
B250 is units final yr in Canada as the A class is to takeover the B class spot. I would think dealer will likely offer in the 4-5% (dealer side) discount + the Factory credit.
Test drive it and see if you like the b250 4matic and go from there.

Here is mb St. Catharines is offering for the 19 b250... too bad you are in Ottawa.

Thanks booblehead. Yeah I agree, Ottawa sucks for deals lol.booblehead wrote: ↑ https://www.mercedes-benz-performance.c ... le-offers/

So if I understand the St. Catharines ad correctly …
They are offering a 4k rebate for the 2019 b250 (vs 2k listed on unhaggle) on top of the 3 monthly payments? And that extra 2k rebate translates to approximately a 5% dealer side discount?

Yup. You can try and push another 1-2% and see if dealer wants to play ball.
As a min, you should get that advertised price for sure.
Maybe email or call to get a general consensus from mb St. Catharines
As for fees, you should be looking at no more than $3200 in grand total.

Fees as follows:
FCLP Classic (MB/smart exc. SLS/SLR/Maybach) $1,615.00
V.I.P. Mercedes All Season Mats Package $299.00
Freight & PDI $2,495.00
Administration Fee New $399.00
Air Conditioning Tax $100.00
WRC Security Etch $249.00
Tire Tax: $16.50
OMVIC Fee: $10
Fuel: $85
License Fee: $32
I will ask him to drop the lease protection, but I believe the other fees exceed the $3200 you quoted above, correct?
Thanks again for your continued help.

remove the security etch $249
remove the season mats $299
- both are optional and bogus items that under OMVIC, you can choose to opt out. If dealer wants to charge you, then same story ... include into the deal at no charge or remove both. You can even threaten dealer that you can report these charges to OMVIC. In majority of the case, dealer will comply and remove.

try to get the full tank fuel included. Once that's done. you are left with $2495+399+100+16.5+10+32. Actually, PPSA of approx. $50-$60 would apply as well. It is likely dealer will collect this on delivery.
As for lease protection, if you drive so little, I suggest you to opt out.

I thought I would hate the purchase process of a car...but having this kind of ressource (booble, big role...) is very comforting.
Blondie looks like having fun doing that to!
Now where is the Volvo one ? I think I'm gonna go toward the V60 R-Design...
Thanks again Booble
