New MB pricing

[Scooby_Doo]

I edited the post to include a discounted car available via MB.
The stupid prices have been on the MB website for about 3 months, could have changed them if it was an error. They might also be planning to offer a potential buyer a massive discount.

The agency model doesn't apply to used vehicles. Used stock is still owned by the dealers.

I've just gone to the MB Swansea website to look for the white C-class mentioned, i think I've ended up on the Mercedes UK website with this offer ! Save £2500 on C-class Saloon models. Plus a further £1000 saving on orders between 21st-31st Jan

Yes, it is a January sales campaign that Mercedes are running on new vehicles. I've just seen a similar advert from Sytner Mercedes on Facebook. That URL takes you to the online showroom. All franchise dealers will now link to that as part of the agency model.

So much for the new one car one price system :

MB Lincoln - C220 AMG line premium, 2240 miles , £80,000
MB Lincoln - C220 AMG Line . 5599 miles , £70,000
MB Lakeside - C220 AMG line premium, 3257 miles , £46,930
Ex Stock at MB Swansea - Brand New C200 AMG line premium 0 miles £47,345 discounted to £43,845 (looks very nice in white , I did have a think about buying it)

Hold on a second 80 bags for a C220

What kind of glue sniffer is buying that

My thoughts exactly, seriously who would, I have seen the new S Class for a few thousand less that 80k, granted it’s used, but not many miles on the clock.

Some buyers must be really stupid if they fall for that trick.

As suggested, the new pricing framework applies to new cars. The first two appear to be well over market value, so possibly an error as suggested, or more likely demonstrators which can’t be sold for an agreed period.

White C200 premium , new, now sold.

What I did notice, looking at the MB stock new cars for sale, was that "electric seats" are no longer included in "A" class P Plus or "E" coupe Premium models.
I don't know whether they're no longer standard fitment or parts not available when they were built. I wouldn't be too happy if my car turned up missing electric seats , bit of a deal breaker for me.

Just checked the brochure, no basic "E" coupe , starts off as premium. Premium Plus gets 20" alloys, night package, pano roof, Burmester ,electric seats and few other bits all for £3000.00 , not a bad price really. I can't really see anyone not spending an extra £3,000 over the £52,000 base price. ..?

My A8 (only driven by me) had ten way electric seats.....I set them up comfy the day I bought the car......then never moved them again!!....so certainly no deal breaker for me!!! As long as you get the cash back for them if they are missing from the order of course...

That's pretty much been my experience with electrically adjusted seats. Apart from when the car goes in for service the seat stays in the same position after first setup.

And really the only advantage of memory' seats IME is to get the seat back to that position after the car has been in for service and the mechanics move it.

I believe they've been omitted due to component shortages, they've even been removed from the AMG models. When I bought my A35 back in August it was a showroom model which has the memory seats, the car was built just before Mercedes omitted them from the spec. I was told if I was to factory order the same spec car now, it wouldn't come with the memory seats. It isn't a deal breaker for me as I only drive the car, the only benefit to me is getting the seat back into the exact position after the car has been serviced.

I had an SLK200 about 20 years ago , manual seats , bloody nightmare. The seat tilt mechanism was fixed at the rear so you could only raise the front part , no up/down at all , couldn't get a really comfortable seating position.I also find that with electric you can easily ajust the reach depending on how thick the soles on your shoes are.Doc Martins are a nightmare.
Worst cars I've ever had were BMWs with manual seats, too many levers.

Even though they are of little benefit to me, I'd still choose the car with electric seats if there was a choice between two cars one with and another without, but it wouldn't bother me if there was no choice. I actually ordered an A35 Executive Edition in white which didn't have the electric seats (just rolled off the production line as a cancelled order) as the deal was better than what was being offered on the showroom car I now have. Mercedes' stock system messed up and the car was sold twice to another Franchise dealer. I ended up with the showroom car for the same price as the white one which was about 7k difference in price in terms of spec.

I believe the W213 facelift only has or had driver memory seat. Wherby the pre facelift has driver and passenger on premium and plus.

 

[BigJase88]

Electric seats with memory are good if you share a car.

If not then as said set them once and who really cares after that

I know when the other half was learning to drive in my car it was a nightmare getting in cause i had to pretty much be a contortionist to get myself in
