c180K - can you clarify

[bob mushroom]

hello all - first post be nice.

I am considering buying a c180k Auto with Sports package

I understand the model is receiving a facelift this year but I am unsure as to when ($tealer wasn't very forthcoming!!) . Does anybody know when orders are being taken and what price increase?

Thanks

Prices

My mum works at mercedes so i got the price list right here and they take orders now cos my mum's friends are all having them delivered on the wicked company car scheme they got.

A C180K Coupé with the evo package would be £19850 but you wanna get leather aswell with that really cos the cloth seats in mercs are shiiiiiite (in my oppinion) which are £1250, but for that i spose u cud get a c-class saloon... I'm stepping a little off the mark now. I'll leave it at that

Thanks for the info - wonder why $tealer wouldn't tell me??? it is the Saloon I'm looking to get. Any prices for the 180 SE Avantgarde saloon and the sports package?

They're nice they are. My dad'd get one of those if he didn't have to have a diesel. Look on http://www.parkers.co.uk/pricing/nvpo/ to price up new cars it's really good.

According to MercedesNews, the coupé and estate versions will be available in May, and the saloon in July.

I read somewhere that prices will be going up by 5%. It's worth considering that dealers and car supermarkets will be increasing their discounts to get rid of any existing stock. For example www.motorpoint.co.uk have a new c180k SE for £17,999 today - about a 10% discount off the current price, even more below the new price. Of course the arrival of the facelifted version will cause extra depreciation.

It is a company car that I will be getting and as such I might as well wait for the new facelift. My current thinking is C180k Avantage SE Saloon in Black with Sports Kit leather twin and Parktronic . My sticking point is Auto or not as the new manual gearbox is supposed to be improved!! Any thoughts
