After the Alfa Romeo deal, was browsing the drive the deal website once more, and saw a substantial saving off a brand new C200 SE saloon.
Brand new car, available for September delivery on a New “67” Registration. You will be the first registered Keeper.
Available in either Solid Black or Polar White with Black Artico leather interior.
This model carries the following features as part of its standard specification:
Headlamps – halogen with integral LED daytime running lamps
Rain-sensing windscreen wipers
Reversing camera
SPEEDTRONIC cruise control
Tyre pressure monitoring system
Seat Comfort package – driver and front passenger seat
Audio20 CD with 7-inch colour display
DAB digital radio tuner
It is one of the entry models in the C-class range, and there are numerous other higher spec options available on the drive the deal site (https://www.drivethedeal.com/SpecialOffers.aspx) that may be worth checking out, but I have picked this model out in particular as it represents the biggest saving (percentage wise) of the whole line up.....and it is a relatively cheap way to get in a brand new Mercedes 4dr saloon for under £19k.
The deal is subject to taking out a hire purchase agreement at 4.9%, but there is nothing stopping you from cancelling this agreement within 14 days of taking delivery of the car.
Delivery by end of September, 2017.
*Also, worth noting, I do not work for Drive the Deal, or in the auto industry at all for that matter, my Audi A4 lease (that I also got from HUKD) is up soon and I am looking for a new car deal for myself, and I am considering ordering this as replacement.

Back seats are pretty much useless on the c class, still a great price for a Merc.

Good price to get into a new Merc but if this is a manual shift, it might be difficult to sell on when the time comes.:{

Is it an automatic or manual?

Won't look much like the pic. It will be on 16 inch wheels.
Also artico leather is man made leather so modern day vinyl.
Cheap car, though what are you really achieving driving a poverty spec Merc?

'achieving' :blush: Has life come to.this?

Kind of. What's the point in having a Mercedes and putting up with the bottom of the barrel dealer network and baseline trim when you can have something else better for similar money - no-one's going to be impressed by an entry level Merc and people do tend to buy them for the badge. Certainly not for the driving dynamics anyway.
Though I am surprised you do get some creature comforts like reversing camera and DAB

Not in the sense of "achievement" more in the sense of "what's the point?"other than to say you drive a Merc as it's the entry level poverty spec one
Mercedes should be about comfort waftiness and opulence (or with AMG ignorant speed!). Not poverty spec and vinyl seats.

Agree the spec is not good but having had both leather and artico in my mercedes i have to say artico compares well and although it may be a modern vinyl equivalent it is certainly several steps up from most car seat materials. (16" wheels are definitely horrible)
On my 4th Merc (2 C220's, ML and C63) never had a problem with electrics and cant fault my local dealership, maybe i have just been lucky
Before you settle on the golf take a look at the bmw 330e

I've spoken to two separate specialist BMW mechanics - neither of them were impressed with newer model BMW's they say the build quality and standards has really dropped over the years.

Great price, I was interested in the c350e for £29k as few months back (posted as a deal) but immediately put off by the extortionate £450 a year in tax - for a plug in hybrid! Well done Govt.

Hybrid or not but still uses road so fair decision. At the end of the day road tax is for keeping roads maintained to keep people safe. Pollution side is only excuse and marketing boost plan. And in overall it was unfair to give free tax to new cars an all in the past...People who could not afford new car were bashed with road tax on second hand cars same size and weight as new ones... All motoring should pay road tax unless its a flying car :grin: But even so I guess there will be air way tax :angry: My personal believe if you can bash out £29k for a new car why the hell to moan about some ~£500 road tax? If you got new car as a deal saving more than £5k of market price that's already 10 years of road tax covered, your new car not gonna last so long :wink:

Tax bands were supposed to be about pollution, namely co2 produced at the tail pipe. But what's the logic in a car that can do 120+ MPG and cost £29k pay nearly the same in tax as my friends 2017 5.0l V8 range rover sport costing near £100k that does 15mpg, downhill.
Keep the car 5 years and that's over £2000 in tax alone. A Prius which costs near the same and doesnt do anywhere near the same mpg pays £0.
Like I said I won't pay out of principle so instead settling on a golf GTE.

£0? I thought that the tax was a flat rate £145 for new cars under the price bracket?

Yup. You're right sorry. Daft system

The Prius and Golf will be £130 a year - only fully electric cars are now £0 tax.

Road Tax hasn't existed for 80 years...
Vehicle Excise Duty is a tax on vehicles, not roads. The money goes in to general Treasury funds, and isn't earmarked for road maintenance. It literally has sod all to do with how much wear and tear your car causes on our highways.

Why do all Greek and Cypriot taxi drivers drive these type of vehicles? I thought Greece were on their ass.
