Actually cheaper on Merc site.
6 x 23 at £319 + Vat for the 220cdi SE auto in saloon guise and £10 more for the estate.
We will see sub £300 a month by April.
Considering they come with comand, online, bluetooth, leather, media and xenons it makes for an amazingly cheap new car ownership experience. Puts in firmly in Ford Focus, VW Golf, BMW 1 series territory.
But with that spec and it costing £33k new, so £30k after a bit of a haggle, it will always be a cheap lease car as it is still an E Class and therefore will still be worth £18k at 3 years old.
I think Mercedes will have an absolute winner on their hands with this.
