- E Class 2018 220D AMG
So, I'd planned to replace my Skoda Octavia estate DSG with something a little bit more flash and had originally planned on getting a 5 Series Touring. After a significant mess about by one BMW dealer, when a deal that proved to be too good to be true - proved to be just that - I decided to look again at Mercedes as an option.
I have 2 young kids and a small dog, so an estate is a must. We've also been spoilt by the cavernous space of the Octavia.
My parents had previously owned a few Mercedes including a 190E and an SL and loved both cars.
So I'd called around a few places. My aim was to see what was out there and get one typically as cheaply as possible, be that PCP or lease. Anyhow, I was called back by one lease firm and they'd become aware of a large commercial lease order which had resulted in 4 heavily discounted new cars available at bumper prices on a lease.
So they've offered a 2018 registered E-class estate, 220D in AMG trim. It's going to be about £300 a month over 24 months with £1k upfront deposit.
That seems like a great deal, though I was disappointed to learn it only has the smaller 8.4inch non-command unit. What's everyone's collective thoughts? Would welcome people's input especially if they own a similar car and have experience of the smaller screen. I should add I love the larger screen setup (12.3), also can someone confirm if Apple Carplay is built into the smaller unit?
