Anyone have a C-class benz?

Well my brother wants to get my mom a new benz since she always wanted one. Plus her altima is starting to cost more than its worth.

Anyways, any info on the lineup? Thinking about the C240 4MATIC, any good lease rates out for it now?

I personally would go with the C320, for $5k more you're getting a much better car (the main difference being 168hp 2.8l vs. 215hp 3.2l). On a lease that would equate to maybe $40-$50 more a month.

How bad do you need the 4matic?

Because honestly, at almost $35k base for a C240 I would sooner look at something else.

But the C320 standard or 4matic is a very nice car.

I'm sure there are some decent deals on both the C240 and C320.

Its a buyer's market, just watch the capitalized cost when they work up #s.....that is not a full MSRP vehicle and pay attention to the interest rate.

Also find out what the residual is for the C240 and the C320, because the C320 may have a higher residual. Same thing with the 325Ci and 330Ci, the 330 is the more expensive vehicle but has a higher residual. So, in the end it doesn't pay to lease a 325.
