Thinking of placing an order for this

[ioweddie]

C200 Petrol Brilliant Blue AMG Line Premium Plus Auto Estate.
Had a test drive today in a C220 version today and really liked it
It had black interior, which my better half thought was a bit dark, she thinks grey would look better, not sure! any suggestions as to which to go for.


Need to order soon with £1k deposit for Sept delivery.

The deal at today is £17k for my 62 reg AMG Sport Plus (20k miles mint cond other than the rear tyres on 2mm Full history).
MB plus dealer contribution just under £4k Me to put £5k depost works out @ £303 p/m final value £18k
If I go ahead my p/x will drop a bit by Sept, but deal about the same.

Does this all sound reasonable?

Check Drivethe deal and carwow first. If it was me that is. Also check to see what your car it worth via webuyanycar.

Other than that if your happy then go for it.

You do realise that everyone can see all the photos in your album via that link?

 

[ioweddie]

we buy any car £16k today but will need an mot in less than 6 months so they will dock some.
Carwow £32600. which is about the same with mb and dealer contribution.
not sure if the mb and dealer cont counts?

Personally, I'd go for a light interior on most cars.

My W204 was Alpaca Grey interior which always looked great. My first W212 was Almond Beige upholstery with Macadamia headliner and that looked great too. So many black interiors can look like a Teutonic Coal Hole.

That said my E63 is black, with a black headliner, and it sort of suits the car...

Try orange wheels, on similar spec (sport not AMG though). My discount was £4K PLUS MB contribution of £2K. Final value of £17k my contribution 4k, £500 deposit, monthly payment £330. Also had intelligent led and privacy glass.

Is the deal £17k + £5k + £303/month?

Have you checked the cost to lease a car?
Just guessing but I suspect you could find a lease for 6+23 £300.

Not the same engine, but for example:

Mercedes C Class 5Dr C300 BlueTEC Hybrid AMG Line 5Dr Auto

6+23 £338

Mercedes C Class 5Dr C300 BlueTEC Hybrid AMG Line 5Dr Auto Contract Hire

Is the deal £17k + £5k + £303/month?
No Will. This is what has been discussed so far
Its £2k equity in my p/x (end of previous pcp owing £15k) dealer and MB Contribution £3702 plus me putting in £5k so total deposit is £10702. Based on list price £36875 which includes privacy glass, metallic paint and the premium plus additions.
Me to pay £303 p/m final value £18.5 but I will probably do similar again in 3 years time

PCP confuses me at times, sorry.
How much will the car cost you over the 3 year finance period?

£15908?

£15908?

If that's the case then leasing would be ~£3k cheaper.

£39k list for a C200 seems like all the money given you see 3 year old ones sat on dealer forecourts for £10k

Its a private PCP not business.
If I keep my current car its going to cost me £15150 to by it then £500 for 3rd yr service including auto
g/box oil change and 1st mot and 4 tyres. Plus no warranty. The new one costs about the same for the next 3 yes.
If I kept the old one and nothing goes wrong I might have a car worth about £5k less any repairs, and servicing.
So in 3 yes time I either do the whole PCP again, or buy a banger as I'll be 65 then and have my bus pass

Isn't it £17908?

£2k equity from PX and £5k in cash then £303 x 36?

I'm 100% sure that a personal lease would be cheaper.

It would possibly be cheaper to lease it, but you have no option to purchase and virtually no early termination rights.
