Good spec c350 CDI Sport in Obsidian Black with Cappucino leather, or is this a bad colour combination?

Really wanted Cavansite Blue with Sahara Beige leather, but this has a decent amount of options - Command, Panoramic roof, Harmon Kardon HiFi and DAB, memory package, telephone pre-wire, dynamic handling package.

Was looking at leasing at £372/month for a C350 CDI Sport with metallic and Command - my best quote so far - 6+35 payments. I could use my Focus ST2 as a part ex - worth about £6k and put down £10k cash, financing the rest £13k - could i do this through Mercedes Agility as the APR is only 5.9%?

Or am i still better to lease, at 3 year cost of £15600?

Any thoughts?

I can't really comment on the funding side of it but I have had a far from pleasant experience buying from that place before. Never again.

Nice high spec car.

A word re finance, I wouldn't give £16k in cash Inc PX to a lease. Works better with low deposits. I'd try and sort a loan for the cost of change figure and own the car.

£10k down on a car is healthy if you end up owning it. £10k to reduce a lease payment seems silly and not a good way to spend capital.

Black, enough said for me.

I counted 8 blacks on the board in the garage today!!! Do we need a range of 8 blacks?

As mentioned on another thread I noticed interest free in Doncaster today.
If such a thing exists

Just had a quote back to lease a C350 CDI Sport 4 door auto saloon with the following options:

Metallic
Command
Leather
Heated Seats
Phone prep

6+23 £330+vat (£396)/month based on 10000 miles pa. (KG vehicle Solutions) Vehicle Savers do not have any deals on the C350 at the moment - they have been the cheapest in the past.

My ideal spec, but would probably want 12000 mile pa. Wonder if i can get a quote nearer to my self imposed budget of £375/month?

Hmmmmm ...... Decisions, decisions???

Nice spec on that car, it has some desirable options.

Can't comment on the finance, but that black/capp has all the toys!

I've just sorted my E220 cdi cab out through contractcars.com. Very good price compared to others. Speak to Matt.
