Dealer discounts C350E and other PHEV
Discussion
Managed to negotiate an impressive 4% off ours just before Xmas.
...but then I am truly crap at negotiating and was in a bad position - they had the car in stock, they are selling FAST and we wanted one. Our alternative would have been to go away and use CarWow or similar, then wait months for delivery and end up getting nailed with the new RFL rules, thus end up paying pretty much the same no doubt.
That's what I tell myself anyway.....
E.T.A I miscalculated - got a massive(!) 4%, not the 2.6% I said originally.... Still crap, but as I say, that'll mostly be down to me.

Agteed - carwow did offer a great discounted price. I walked into fhe dealership, and said - heres the car / spec i want, heres the price incl govt grant. If you can match this and send me the quote ill place an order.
'Do yuo want to see the car, and have a test drive, discuss finance etc'
No, thats ok, i know what i want .just the quote and i can place the order.
Later the same day the quote came across from the dealerhip. Reatil admitred they wcouldnt match the price, but their fleet division, in the same location coild.
Delivery is end of march, but that may be due to having a tow bar so factory order.
