Mercedes-Benz Thailand is offering a cash discount of 700,000 baht for the last lot of the existing E-Class model.

President Alexander Paufler announced the company is doing well amid the economic recession in 2008 by staying on the top spot of the luxury car sale for eight straight years, literally capturing 60 percent market share.

He said the introduction of the S500 late last year was a major attribution to the company’s core auto sales figure, while the last lot of the existing E-Class model also received well response from its customer group.

“We are offering this campaign for the current E-Class model ahead of the introduction of the world’s first E-Class coupe with the right-hand-side steering, the C-Class CDI, and the latest E-Class facelift model late this year,” Mr. Paufler stated in the company’s press release.

The special offers include interest-free for 72 months installment payment with first class insurance and cash discount for customer who purchases in cash.

For example, buyers are offered to receive a 700,000 baht cash discount for purchasing the E-Class NGV worth 3.7 million baht in cash, or paying at only 2.7 million baht.

For customers who opt for the financing alternative will pay as low down payment as 480,000 baht for installment term of 44,000 baht per month for 72 months.

“The campaign aims to help customers get access to the E-Class a lot easier,” Mr. Paufler said.

All together, Mercedes-Benz offers a 25 percent off for a list of 8,000 spare parts items at its authorized service centers nationwide.
