Did I get ripped off???

[mmmendoz]

I am fairly new to this forum and this is my first post.

I just purchased a pre-owned 03 S500 from MB dealership in SOCAL. It has AMG package, sports package, 6-disk changer, parktronic, v60 motorola, and keyless go. It has 32000 miles and in perfect condition. I can not find a flaw on it.

I went through the fleet department and paid $56,875. I did not try to negotiate a better price. Are fleet prices negotiable? Did I pay too much?

Thanks

I don't think so.

I have been looking to buy a 2003 S500 and the lowest prices I have seen is in the low 60S. Granted the mileage I have been looking for is lower (under 15K), but your deal still sounds pretty good.

dude,

u must be leaving SOME info out. It simply is not possible for a dealer to sell an 05 S500 brand new, 0 miles for $65,000. What parts are missing? FLOOD DAMAGE? Windows, doors, tires not included? Engine not included? come on...... ur telling me a dealer took a $20,000 hit on a brand new car?:)

Ahhhh, you asked the right questions! It was a lemon trade in for his previous 03' S500. So MBUSA Stepped in and "hooked it up".

[Chucky300]

wow! an 03 S500 was a lemon? What went wrong? I thought MB fixed ALL kinks in the S Class model.

I have an 02 S500 and have had some problems but would not call it a lemon.

Horn broke (twice) haha.

Center Right Air Vent blows cold air even with heat all the way up (sometimes blows hot though!)

GPS Antenna fell off.... twice

but still, a nice car :)

Lemme know :)
