C43

[MICKEYMCM]

Good morning,

I am hoping someone can help me.

I am seriously looking at getting a new C43 finance is currently 0.00% interest offered by Mercedes.

However I am concerned that the car will depreciate at such a steep rate due to the new to be released CLE, should I be deeply concerened and steer clear of getting my C43?

thanks

You will be a long time dead, pull the trigger slim.

I really wanted the new C43, but MB have priced themselves out of the market for me - especially with their 'one car one price' policy so there's no negotiating to be done. My current car was £57k new (I didn't buy it new, ex-demo with 28 miles on the clock for a lot less money) and the jump to over £70k for the current model doesn't seem justified. Yeah it's got fancy rear wheel steering, a trick turbo and lights that can draw pictures, alongside the normal nice MB interior, but when I can get a brand new M340i for £55k (after a £7k discount) that still has a 6 cylinder engine and technical-wise is the same as the C43 (in fact I think the 4WD system is actually better) it's a no brainer for me to go down that route.

Even if it wasn't out of my budget I'm not sure I would have made the choice to go for the C43, just seems very over priced.

Of course a run out C43 is going to drop like a stone, losing a third to a half in three years.

That's why they "give" C43's on 0% finance.

But what else are you going to do with the money?

You'll only waste it on younger women, or older whiskey if you've got more money and don't spend it on a faster horse.

All new cars depreciate something chronic so if you want the car go for it!

Also I had to look up what a CLE even was, it's basically a C/E Class Coupe replacing both those current models. I really wouldn't worry about it. One thing I learned when I bought brand new is that there's always another model on the way ready to make the current model look like the, "last" model. So just buy whatever you like and enjoy.

As a general principle, if you're scared by high levels of depreciation don't buy a brand-new £70k Mercedes-Benz.

The best hedge for the high-end cars is always to buy ex-demo cars that are normally nicely optioned and have taken their initial depreciation hit, but those cars don't get cheap finance (I wonder why?).

If you like & want the car, and can afford it, go ahead. If any one of those three criteria isn't met, take your money elsewhere.

I can't help but feel the "one car one price" ruse will backfire - unless all the other manufacturers get on the same bandwagon, which they won't.

Buy it!!!

I presume you’re talking about the outgoing one hence the 0% being offered, maybe look at the interest savings to make yourself feel better.

Great cars, will lose money as they all do, but that’s the cost of enjoying a warranted 400bhp 4wd AMG with a noisy exhaust button.

Also, forget the fixed price thing, it’s a benefit. All this talk of ‘saving’ 6k on something else is irrelevant if you don’t want it, plus in the old days, someone, somewhere would of still got it cheaper than you.

Go for it!

As a few have said, if you really want it, then get it, simple's.

I went into the local dealership today and test drove it, loved it Also looked at the CLA 45 S.

There is only 15 available of new C43's. They are not making anymore.

I'm ordering the C43 tomorrow in Premium Plus, Night Edition in Black.

Good morning! I can understand your concern about the potential depreciation of your new C43 due to the release of the new CLE. While it's difficult to predict exactly how much the value of your car will depreciate, it's worth noting that all cars depreciate in value over time.

That being said, there are a few factors to consider that can affect the rate of depreciation for your C43. One is the overall demand for the C43 model, which could be impacted by the release of the CLE. However, the fact that Mercedes is offering 0.00% interest on financing for the C43 could also help to boost demand for the model.

All cars do not , mine has gained circa 30/50% in value.
