Hi, all:
My friend is buying a new mercedes benz C230 4-dr sedan (with only standard equipments) and he is currently living in the Bay area. He would like me to post some quick questions here:
- As he is kinda frugal but he do have some cash at hand, so he is thinking about buying the car in cash with the lowest price possible. I know there are some Internet dealers (autobytel.com, cars.com) but after trying them, it seems that they DO NOT want to give us a direct price quote either on emails or phone calls. So my question is, is there any new car selling website that would give you a direct price quote, say, within a radius of where you live by expanding up to 200 miles?
- We also heard that if one buy Mercedes Benz in Los Angeles, usually you will get better price (as it is the port of entry of these imported cars) and sometimes could save you up to 00-3000. Is this true? If it is true I think it "might" worth a trip to go to LA to pick up the car and drive it back to the bay area.
- What dealers you could recommend that is based in LA that is more possible to have lowest price?
- Does anyone here recently bought a C230? Could someone please report the lowest possible market price for the basic model of C230 (all standard equipments and no optionals)..
Thanks!
