- C250CDI (C320CDI & SLK350, Sold) & the Trusty Citigo
I've been thinking about getting myself a new car to accompany my SLK. My need for estates has gone now, so I can get rid of my trusty but boring Astra and get something more fitting for my newly minted first grandchild.
So I've been considering a C saloon, either a C220cdi or C250cdi now the 7 speed box is available. Nice cars, they will do the job, but I really want non-sports suspension and xenon lights - Cumbria is not noted for streetlights to illuminate the suicidal sheep, nor flat roads. Doable, but pricey.
Having a look at the MB website an equivalent E is only 5% more, and better equipped. It seems to be better value, but slightly bigger than I need, but not a problem.
Is there a catch, lease prices seem to be about the same...
