Hey, for those out there wondering about the MF and residual (like I was) on the 2009 models I found the following on MB world discussions (http://forums.mbworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=256606)...not the greatest deals but better than what the dealership in DFW quoted me today (for a 2008 models - honestly how are they going to clear out their inventory with MF rates at .0045)? 2009 Mercedes C300 Luxury 24 Month – Residual 67% of MSRP – .00245 Base Rate 36 Month – Residual 56% of MSRP – .00265 Base Rate 48 Month – Residual 46% of MSRP – .00265 Base Rate 60 Month – Residual 40% of MSRP – .00350 Base Rate 2009 Mercedes C300 Luxury 4matic 24 Month – Residual 67% of MSRP – .00235 Base Rate 36 Month – Residual 56% of MSRP – .00255 Base Rate 48 Month – Residual 46% of MSRP – .00255 Base Rate 60 Month – Residual 40% of MSRP – .00350 Base Rate 2009 Mercedes C300 Sport 24 Month – Residual 67% of MSRP – .00245 Base Rate 36 Month – Residual 56% of MSRP – .00265 Base Rate 48 Month – Residual 47% of MSRP – .00265 Base Rate 60 Month – Residual 40% of MSRP – .00350 Base Rate 2009 Mercedes C300 Sport 4matic 24 Month – Residual 67% of MSRP – .00235 Base Rate 36 Month – Residual 56% of MSRP – .00255 Base Rate 48 Month – Residual 47% of MSRP – .00255 Base Rate 60 Month – Residual 40% of MSRP – .00350 Base Rate |

Just got back from a dealer on Long Island, NY and left a deposit on a 2008 C 300 Sport with pana roof, Option P2, Auto, Multimedia, Paladium silver  $36,500. It was hard to find another C300 Sport, with lower options. Was this a good deal?

So I was at the dealer today, nice car the C300 4matic. P1 package and all the goodies, about $40K. Before I buy, can you tell me if you like your car? I read through the board and a few people did express how much they did like the car but just two that I could find. Are you guys enjoying the car? Did you compare it to the 328xi? Same price really. Would love to hear your impressions! |

Replying to: avatar1 (Aug 17, 2008 2:58 pm) I've owned 15 Mercedes, and 38 other cars since 1962, and the new C is the best we've had - smooth, quiet, quick, responsive, comfortable, and reasonable fuel use [though I would have preferred the new twin-turbo 4 cyl diesel - maybe 2010]. We have had no issues and no problems. It is a wonderful long-distance tourer, which is precisely why I picked this car. The BMW competition [E90 3er] has a couple of things that I really go out of my way to avoid, the most important of which is the mandatory run-flat tires, which I hate. It was also moderately noisier when we tested it, which I also attribute to the run-flats. No one who picks the BMW would get a serious argument from me - it really depends on what you value most. I don't need a "sports sedan" - if you do, your choice might be different. The Lexus IS didn't compete - its back seat is so tight as to be unusable...trunk space also too small for our trips. In short, I think the W204 C is a great choice. Ours has been everything I wanted except 40 mpg. That will have to wait for the latest diesel, if they ever decide to sell it here.

Replying to: jrct9454 (Aug 18, 2008 5:07 am) I liked most how the cabin felt secure, quiet and comfortable. I think the electronics are a fantastic and I love the looks of the car. The acceleration is OK, it's not a sports car and the "reported" MPG is something I can live with, but hoped for better. Maybe the diesel you talk about can help when I return the car in 3 yrs, after the lease expires. I was also pleased to hear you had no mechanical problems, which for many has been a problem with the older MB's. I have owned 6 MB's and never really had an issue. I too have owned a lot of wonderful cars in my life, my all time favorite car was my 1996 S500, which was a dream on wheels. I look forward to hearing about other's impression of the car as well. |

Replying to: jrct9454 (Aug 18, 2008 5:07 am) We only have 3000 miles on our 2008 c-300 Lux. We didn't like all the stuff the Sport come with (aluminum trim inside, the pedals, etc.) We did put the sport grille on because we like it .... the other grille is OK. We looked at IS, BMW-3 and TL. C-300 has a fresh look (to us). We only had 1 minor thing (with the loose door knob) which the dealer promptly took care of (Lokey in Clearwater, FL). They even replaced (at no charge) the driver's armrest (because of a little imperfection) and gave us a new c-300 sport for a loaner. I think ours rides better.
