Article comments for Full Test: 2008 Mercedes-Benz C350 Sport - This week, we managed to pry a 2008 Mercedes-Benz C350 away from its press introduction in Portland, Oregon, and drove it all the way back to our offices in Santa Monica, California. What we learned on this 1,000-mile drive and after instrumented track testing shows us that Mercedes-Benz is serious about the C-Class' competition. (more)

Replying to: pat (Sep 19, 2007 9:55 am) I would not use these forums to sell cars if I could. My dealership typically does not do business out of state because it can be very shady. I don;t know why you cannot get the new C-Class in your state. It has been available for almost 2 months here. And we are getting more in all the time. The problem is there are no cars available with the new multimedia package. That is the option that drives the C-Class value beyond all other cars. It is the M-B COMAND system right out of the S-Class. Only cars that have been ordered by clients are showing up with the MM package. Cars that are ordered by the dealership to stock the lot are not available with the MM package, and won't be for another few months according to my inventory. However, to me the C350 with P2 package and a 6-disc changer would be a car I would be very happy to own and drive. I think they are awesome!
#22 of 26 Great car..need a good dealer in NJ by areddy Oct 07, 2007 (12:30 am)
Replying to: 500lbman (Sep 09, 2007 1:56 pm) Overall I am in love with this 2008 C350. There is a new CURE edition which comes fully loaded, the dealer is saying he will sell this only at MSRP which is around 44K... which i feel is really 2 much... has anyone in New Jersey or nearby state bought this CURE edition or the regular C350 for below the MSRP? Please post your comments if there is a dealer in New Jersey who can offer a good deal...thanks The dealer in Lawrenceville, NJ quoted that they dont sell below MSRP. If anyone ordered this car, whats the best price so far? About the car..I would agree to some extent that initially when you hit the gas there is no immediate response & there is also some wind noise when ur at 80-90+ Replies to this message: pat (Oct 07, 2007 2:34 am)

Replying to: areddy (Oct 07, 2007 12:30 am) Actually, the discussion you are looking for is at this link: Mercedes-Benz C-Class Prices Paid & Buying Experience. That's where you can get that kind of feedback. Good luck!
#24 of 26 C350 with options by casper1022 Oct 15, 2007 (5:42 am)
Hi, thats great that others have the vehicle already in different states. Over at Seattle, the demand is so much that my order has been delayed and will arriving end of January 2008. I decided to add the multimedia option and TELE AID OPTION..i know there has been problems in the past with the TELE AID analog system and a class lawsuit, however, on January 2008, MB will be going digital on all the TELE AID systems which may be a more efficient system. Any comments on the this? Thanks

Replying to: 500lbman (Sep 09, 2007 1:56 pm) THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!! I live in Germany and in the past 15 years I'm had the following BMW 320, BMW 525, Audi TT Roadster. I just odrer a 2009 C350 and can wait until June when I ge it. As for the BMWs...I had problems with both and maintanence was nuts. The TT was a great car, But Audi staff was not. So far, my dealings with the Mercedes staff in great. Mercedes driver do not just want a great car...we want great cars, great staff, great service. An no other car give us all...but Mercedes....Keep up the great work.....I will never buy any other car....Mercedes for life.

Is it me is has edmunds made some mistakes. Ive been on other car sites and they have the C350 weighing in at over 3600 lbs. curb weight. I think either the C350 is under-rating the horsepower or the 0-60 is from a roll and edmunds is lying to us. My maxima weighs 3473 and has 3 less horsepower and is just as fast as the C350 if not faster(havent test driven). I was planning on upgrading to a real luxury sport sedan and starting to lean towards the G35 or maybe even drop the luxury and go for the G8. I cant believe i thought about trading up to this. If I could afford it i would go all the way and get the 335. It seems that the C350 is made to compete with my 04 maxima, toyota avalon, and other entry level sedans and has lost ground on BMW.
