[MBZ] copy of window sticker!

[R A Bennell]

Bought a 1974 Chevy Vega brand new for $2,850 and a 1977 Mercury Monarch for $6,200. Those are the only vehicles
that I have ever bought new. You can likely understand why I stopped buying new cars.

I don't have the sticker for the first and LAST new car I ever purchased - a
1976 silver Chevette with red vinyl interior, bought in 12/75.  I just about
caused the salesman to faint when I agreed to pay the sticker price without
even trying to bargain him down.  He was so grateful that he voluntarily
threw in free undercoating; the final tab was $3,672.00.  I learned later
from my then-BIL that it is quite acceptable to "negotiate" the price of a
new car.  Double-tripledy DOH!!

But I must have had good karma from the deal, because that car was so
reliable and cheap to run that we were able to purchase a Mercedes in 1982.
Mind you, that was a 1973 basic 280 that only cost $4,700.00.
