I'd roll in that for 2 yrs for that lease price. The first thing i would do is pull the run flats and put really nice performance summers on it. Then put the run flats back on at lease end and call it.

I was doing the math... C63 doesn't make sense unless I keep it for 3+ years, which I don't think I want to.
C43 has comparable performance + :aintcare:

since warranty etc at a price that is within $100...

Why do you have to pay the guy $500? The lease transfer fee is probably more than $500, so the $1,082 "incentive" you get at the end is BS.

I also used to live in that area. CSB.
It is and it isn't that's how I did it with my BMW too. The dude gave me an extra $500 from his "deposit" I paid BMW $400 to transfer it, but I am getting it back from his security deposit at the end of the lease.

This is a pretty killer deal, but this is a VERY bare bones Merc. I don't like that it doesn't have a moonroof, the moonroof in these things is epic, and because lease.

The white MB looks nearly identical to AZN mk1s doe...

I get paying the transfer fee...but the bro wants $500 for himself on top of it if I'm reading it right.

:butwhy:

0-60 in low 4s is plenty and i think that the benz is a nicer car than the beemer.

He just wants to recoup some of the money. I paid my "bro" $2500 for his $3500 security deposit. Part of that covered the Acquisition fee and the other part is for the scrape on the bumper...

Doesn't appear to have the glowing emblem in the grille. Pass.

Gberg2119 · Wed Jan 10, 2018 10:35 pm

I checked my local :dillerman:

website and they're already discounting about $3k off new 2018 eggs.

I like it. Price is reasonable, maintenance included, and these cars are beasts. Just be sure this is what you want because it's expensive regardless. But I love it, I love the C class, and I'd enjoy driving this more than a 340i.

:doit:

My issue is :plac:

if I owned cars for 5+ years I’d be buying something different. The 1-2 year ownership period really makes things expensive.

Even a used 30k vehicle costs pretty much just as much to own as a 50k lease :-/

Aren't you just trading for the same car, different manufacturer?

might as well get a 97 Buick century same thing ... has 4 wheels

max225 · Thu Jan 11, 2018 2:20 pm

Having had some experience with the C... It has a nicer interior, a more comfortable/quiet ride and in this form more power than the BMW. And since it has AWD i can take it off roading. :lolgasm:

Major

luck ...
Got a nail in the tire ... (first flat in 30k miles of driving)
Of course it is “not fixable” so it looks like this shit will cost me $300 if I can’t find a used s001 in :225:

40 19

Door lock is totally busted to shit ...

Also this car has no spare
No tire goo
And no compressor
So if you get a nail you go to fuck me in the ass shoulder and pray that the tow truck doesn’t ram you at 70mph if the tire is really busted

:truk:

time

Tires are looking low, brah. You'd probably need to put a set on it before trade-in anyway. :sad:

that there's no way to fix this shit though. Those RFT's aren't supposed to be patched.

A spare tire was a must for me. I get too many nails in my tires at work. Major knock against the upscale Germans, and even Mini.

It is how the thread is designed in these

Called BMW they told me as long as they RFT and speed rating they :aintcare:

about brands. They can be 4 different brands... :scrooge:

Sucks about the nail.. Building next to my friend's office has been under construction and she's picked up three huge screws in her parking lot from it in the last two months. Cost her like $1000 in tires, plus a few coworkers have had to get some replaced as well... Think they were trying to get something done about it.. I need to follow up to see what happened.

I'm sure she's getting over-charged or being tricked into paying for unnecessary stuff with the tires, but that's what she claims.. drives some older hybrid Lexus CUV thing.
