What car target price? You would probably get more off buying their finance and then paying the finance off quickly than buying outright too.

I think this sounds a very sensible number. OP, if they offer you less, walk away, and if they offer you more, the car is a lemon, run.

Don't ask for a penny more, and don't accept a penny less.

No, but
-it’s arguably a better buy considering depreciation etc
-it was a reasonable assumption that 30/40k isn’t a C63 (though I’ve no doubt the model being considered is most splendid and not slow)
-it was out of concern for the OP incase he /she’d overlooked that alternative
-I’m jealous
-It’s easy to spend someone else’s money.
-I’d argue that the majority of PH’ers would plump for the 2010 e500.

OP, phone them and ask. Are you buying new? Is it a popular model? do you require a specific spec?
