Hi all,
This is only my second post. I found you all extremely helpful last time. I was going to buy an '08 C220 48000 miles with Comand and Parktronic for £20700 on finance. You all talked me out of it as finance deal was terrible, £5000 down, £309 per month and final payment, blah...
Now I've decided to pay cash for total cost. I can afford no more than £19000. The question is, does anyone have any idea how much a main dealer is likely to take off? I've seen a few cars at around £20,000 up to about £21000. If I offered £19000, are they likely to tell me where to go? The money will be from a personal loan at 7.8%. Is a dealer likely to be able to match that rate?
My plan is to retrofit the Comand SatNav myself, or pay someone to supply/fit. I found a place on e-bay who will supply and fit for £1000, or a place who will supply for only £450.
Really looking forward to owning my first MB, just after a little advice from all you with the experience.
Thanks,
Ben.
