Thinking about buying a new SLC205d but cannot decided if I should by a new one or an approved used one with delivery mileage. Are there any good deals out there this time of year or should I wait a bit?

OR, buy a dealers demonstrator of the model you want, usually 4/6 months old 3ooomiles ish, on clock, lots of the bits and bobs like pan roof, leather, 19s etc, all the warranty you're going to need, and thousands cheaper than new. What's not to like? When I was young and stupid I bought brand new, now older and a bit hopefully, less stupid, DEMO'S. Go for it.
SLC don't seem to be shifting based upon the discounts.
Get a quite on Carwow or DTD. Bet it's cheaper new than used.
Email newsletter from DTD was showing 28% discount off a new SLC 250d.
DTD = Drive the Dealwongl said:Thanks - the best quote I got from Carwow was 24% for SLC nothing like 28%. What or who is DTD?
Yeah mate I wouldn't buy a demo. I used to manage a Ford dealership (previous life) and all our demos were 'tested' every evening. It was like whacky races to our local pub 3 miles from the dealership through the back streets of Glasgows south side.
Three years ago I bought an e coupe with 5000 MLS from an MB dealership here in the south, 1 previous owner 6 months old, had loads of gearbox trouble, took it back after three months and exchanged for newer demo for what I'd paid, Never had any trouble with the demo, traded it in for current e 350 9g CDI coupe, which is excellent. The point of all this is, the first e coupe was owned by a man who lived in Glasgow, and the moral is never buy a car previously owned by a lunatic Glaswegian or any demo from Scotland for that matter.Here in the more gentle South life is slightly less frantic. No offence old mate, and a happy new year to you and yours.

Ex manufacturer management? I've actually bought those, that's what I would call a demo, I didn't realise there was any difference, well blow me down, every day back in the classroom. that 's why I say they're a good buy.
