Default New CLK500 - 06-28-2003 , 12:06 AM






Picking up my 2003 CLK500 tomorrow, got $3300 off MSRP & wondering did I get
a good deal.

Enjoy, whatever the price...

But why did you not spend less on a 4-door? Admittedly the CLK does look
nice, but you pay extra for less comfort.

Now, if you had spent even more and bought a Cabriolet (with even less
comfort - smaller boot/trunk) then I could understand it....

If its not a family car, and if one is not being chauffer driven, what is
the point of a 4-door?

In the past 2-door cars were usually budget cars, but their image has
changed totally now. A 2 door coupe is pretty cool, and the CLK Coupe is
much much prettier than any 4 door.

My dealer is a high volume dealer, last month he was selling the 2003 CLK
Cabriolets at invoice to clear them out to increase the allocation for 2004.
Checked around & found not too many dealers were offering much more off what
I wanted & it turns out I saved $4020 since there was no destination on this
car as it was a Eurpoean delivery shipped directly to the dealer. Plan on
keeping it awhile so the depreciation won't matter that much & the 2004's
have no changes on the coupes.

New model year in only two months. Would
it not pay in terms of depreciation to wait?
Also there was a dealer here at the beginning of
June who was offering 16% off to clear the lot.
Its seems to me this close to the new model year
that your bargaining power is the highest it can be.
