#808 of 1295 First Benz - 2006 c230 - good deal? by gyaruo

Jan 04, 2009 (3:02 pm)

I'm about to buy my first car and am looking for a good deal... swinging by the Mercedes dealership I saw a 2006 c230 sport, with several options such as sunroof, entertainment package, all leather, etc.. I want some advice on what kind of deal this is:
 
Car: 2006 c230, certified pre-owned
Miles: 31,500
Warranty: until 7-2010 or up to 100,000 miles
Great condition
Sticker price: $24,900
Sale Price: $18,000
Negotiated down to $15,500
 
I just worry about being hit with really expensive repair costs after the warranty is up. What do you guys think I should do?
 
Thanks!

It is hard to judge without knowing the condition of the car, but assuming that it is excellent, this sounds like a good deal!

#810 of 1295 Before you buy a C300 2008 "check suspension system" by abe300

I strongly recommend that you test drive a C300 before you buy it.
The suspension system may not meet your expectations.
I've been buying new MB's since 1987. This is the first time that my internal organs shake when I go over a pothole or a crack in the pavement. The dampening factor is non existent.
The problem is exarcebated by the inadequate driver's seat (it lacks padding). I also own a 2007 C230 and it's suspension is superb by comparison.
If you own a C300 already I'll like to know if you concurr and if you have any suggestions to improve the unacceptable ride.
I purchased it at Fletcher Jones Newport Beach, the service dpt drove it and play with the tire pressure but there was no improvement.

Ride quality on the C300 Luxury is fine - well within the usual MB and German parameters, Ride with the Sport package is certainly too firm for my tastes.
 
I've owned 15 Mercedes since 1968; I'd say our '08 C300 Lux is probably the best of these, period....

I am surprised to read your comment. I have the c300 sport and I absolutly love the feel and drive of the car. Now I was looking for a sports car so that may be the difference. I thought the suspension was softer than the BMW 3 series. I think this is just a matter of personal taste.

I think you can get it down a little bit more. that price is just around invoice and I think you can get it to below invoice.
