Mercedes C 300

Anyone have it? Lease it, test drive it?

Thanks

Re: Mercedes C 300

I have the e320 I love it...

But I will say as high priced as Benz is the customer service SUCKS and also they have the lowest of low lives working in service!

Re: Mercedes C 300

Going to test drive it on Thurday..so excited

Re: Mercedes C 300

Let me know how you like it.

Re: Mercedes C 300

I will!

Re: Mercedes C 300

My friend leases one and hates it. He claims the lower model Mercedes ain't what they used to be. (I don't have one - I'm just telling you what he told me!) I think you get more bang for your buck with an Acura, but that doesn't have the same name recognition.

My friend has one of the convertibles (a lower model) and loves it... but she said she's not thrilled with the service it needs. She's had several repairs she shouldn't have needed and, b/c she had them all done by Mercedes, they were $$$ to fix.


I can't personally say I'd mind driving a Mercedes, though...

yeah, I'm trying to convince Dh that that model which is the most affordable (if you can call it that) is not worth it.

I would rather have an Audi myself but I know we will end up with a Honda and a Camry. It's just the way it goes.

We saw the midnight blue Mercedes c 300 last night and it was gorgeous but was small.

Re: Mercedes C 300

My sister used to have it and we always joked that the C class actually stood for "crap class"...just didn't have the oomph of the higher mercedes models and is very small...she ended up trading it in for the Murano because she was so unhappy with it.

Re: Mercedes C 300

My DH is a Mercedes salesman. I happen to LOVE the new C class...wasn't crazy about the older model, but I love the 08's.

Feel free to FM me if you have any ??'s

Re: Mercedes C 300

I hate the 2005

so a search on here- nothing but a nightmare- major problems to the point where they took it back early (2 years early)

service is $$$$$- you need A or B every 10K miles (includes an oil change)

A is about $250 - $300
B is over $400

the tires on the car - are Z rated- which means they go every 20K miles (same as on a real deal sports car)

I was very umpressed with it

for an entry leavel luxary car- I would go woth one that includes service- I think the BMW does

but on a positive note- I got the ML350 and I love it

it's about $200 more a month then I was paying for the C class- and totally worth the money- it's truly a Mercedes - the way I remembered the ones my Dad had when I was growing up

I have the teleaid service from them (onstar) and it rocks- get lost- press the button, flat tire- press the button, accident- press the button

need a 24 hour pharmacy and you guessed it- press the button- they find you one- call them- and then give you directions!

I am much happier with my new one- when I had the C class- I was at the service department so much - they knew me by name

but I will also add I love the service at huntington MB- they were above and beyond for me to make me happy after the C class nightmare- including my frist service free on my new one- which is very nice!

Re: Mercedes C 300

I have 2005 E Class 320...

Love the car... We bought it outright..

I am just not a fan of Mercedes since they are not great to their customers....

Re: Mercedes C 300

I have the C Class 300. I love my car but the only negative thing I can say about it is my 6 CD changer recently got jammed which annoyed me being this happened about 1 month after I leased it otherwise I have no complaints.

Re: Mercedes C 300

I'm currently saving for one - will probably buy one the next time they run a promotion with lower financing rates...
