Default New Merc C Class

Or to be honest - Merc C Class 2.1CDI C250 AMG

What a beautiful creation this is, and coming in at under £300 a month on PCL deals, less on Business. I've exhausted any attempt on anything else, and as seen by others, the Golf R dream has died down for now although some still just under £300 a month for those.

The Merc though - 4 pot derv with some tasty numbers despite its tractor engine.
0-60 - 6.6, 204bhp, 369lbft. 62mpg on the m'way- combined 54mpg - how the hell do they do this!

It looks a mini-S Class and nothing is a pretty as this in saloon guise.

Get one, before prices go up. Its a good one!

what's the deposit on this? direct with MB or broker?

My Golf is nearly ready but still on the look out incase something better pops up, although at 248 a month with 1k down though, the Golf still looks very attractive.

Beautiful isn't a word I would bestow upon any moderm Merc - possibly GT aside.

It looks as if they glued the grill on as an afterthought.

The Bremer Taxi is evolving back to its roots, I suppose:






But at least it's still a good, solid taxi and not Emperor's New Clothes like those horrid little FWD contraptions below it.

There's always going to be a difference on opinion to better class cars, compared to the diluted pooh on the market. They've done a tasty job on this - even comes in Essex white for you "on the knock Saverners"...

Check the little tablet thingy - internet aswell!

Mercs really are ten a penny nowadays. They're as common as Instigmas and Mundaneos ...

Surely brand devaluation so I just hope the extra volume makes it worthwhile in the long run ...

Funny, I was just thinking the same about Audis as I walked round an industrial estate this AM. It was actually briefly gridlocked with those, Sprinters - and all the heavies were DAFs.

Looks like a fattie sat on the boot. Or one of those Saab 96 things.
