Hi

Picking up my 2009 C Class 250 CDI saloon on Friday traded in my 2005 BMW M3 .

I know it is not as quick as the M, but it is soooo nice to drive (auto).

Expecting it to be somewhat less thirsty than the M3 - the local petrol station owner was in tears when I told him

Hi Tony & welcome - as and when you need anything done to it, the best dealer in the area is MB in Pannal (Harrogate) - been using them for years - superb services & they deal on prices

Few days ahead of you! Collecting my C250 on Wed. I'd love an M5 so appreciate the change your making but I hear the diesels have plenty of torque so should still feel rapid...

What other specs will you have?

Where in N yorks are you ?

Hi,

Collected my car this afternoon and absolutely love it, althoughh sorry to see the M3 go.

Nice added bonus the dealer did not realise the car has SATNAV!!

I'm near Pateley Bridge which is 15 miles North of Harrogate

I looked at a C250 at the MB Dealer in Harrogate but they offered me such a derisory amount for my car and seemed more interested in selling the gap insurance and paint protection extras.

I ended up getter a better car for the same money and £1,500 more for my M3.

I will look at them for servicing but car says next service A in 300 days!!! Maybe I'm not expected to drive it!

I had the M3 E46 too ......and I know were your coming from when it comes to trade ins with dealers , they take the p**s . I ended up selling mine private and bought this E55 AMG privately

Hi Tony and welcome to the forum. I am sure the 250 will prove a lot less thirsty than and M3 if my C32 is anything to go by.
