Good morning, I am in the market for a Mercedes C300 2009. The car included pakage 1, navigaion, automatic transmission, wood trimming One dealer lower their MSRP from $38,890 to 35,000. Would this be considered a good deal, considering todays times? any input on this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Does anyone have a P2 or got one recently? Any #s would be greatly appreciated. Whats the ride/handling diff between a 4matic vs 2wd? I dont really want a 4matic but I got salesguys forcing it on me...your thoughts?

Replying to: gotgt3 (Jan 13, 2009 5:45 pm) In parts of the country where snow is a real, daily, unpleasant reality for several months out of the year, the 4-matic option makes sense. Everywhere else, decent winter tires accomplish the same thing at a considerable saving. I don't know where you live, so can't comment further, except to say here in the Portland OR area, lots of people THINK they need AWD, but they really don't, and the local dealer is happy to sell you whatever you want. We get challenging weather maybe 3-4 weeks out of any given year, and my experience is that most of the people using AWD around here don't actually know how to drive in snowy conditions, especially when it comes to stopping, and thus get themselves into more trouble than those of us carefully making do without. Anyway, the car behaves pretty much the same with or without 4-matic, until you get into really challenging conditions. |

Replying to: gotgt3 (Jan 13, 2009 5:45 pm) Sure driving on icy roads is a skill. But given a person, following is the order of safety (from highest to lowest) as I read probably on this forum before: 1. AWD with good winter tires 2. RWD with good winter tires 3. AWD with OEM tires 4. RWD with OEM tires I am sure some other members of this forum may disagree with the above list, but my personal experience with RWD isn't good. My current purchase preference is 1. FWD (if available, so that I don't have to pay for AWD and the excess baggage) 2. AWD I don't want to buy a RWD ever again. |
