MB SLK Offer-Opinions

[ricky s]

My wife is craving a new car, MB are currentley offering brand new SLK200K , brought between now and June I believe, but from current stock, Auto, Metalic paint, and leather, £31.5K, or £4K down, plus £289 X 36 payments plus final payment (GFV) of just over £15K. APR is 5.8%. And MB are putting in a deposit contribution of £4.9K within this package. This is bacically a bottom end no spec SLK, however had Northhampton cost out a used Red Opal SLK car today, 58 plate (2K miles) with a reasonable spec, on a similar deposit and payment, it came to £469 amonth.
I am thinking that this £4.9K contribution help from MB on a new car, is very hard to refuse. I have my local MB costing out a new car with extra,s, wifey wants, to see what the additional cost will be. Anyone see any pitfalls with this package, bar the usual depreciation we all live with. Appreciate your comments

You must have heated seats and air con in the basic package

The low rate finance is whats helping .... none of the other brands were offering anything like when I bought mine, last month

My C class Elegance, was cheaper than a Mondeo TitaniumX, on PCP .......... by at least £80 per month ...............

Play the game ... see what spec cars they have on screen .......... and walk !!

Twitchy bums and bonus money will come into play again, in June ............ (end of the quarter)

As Malcolm. As for others too - the finance package hinges on the final (£15k) payment, so the way things are going at present you might find that you just want to give them the car back at that point, rather than pay for and own the car. If you accept that assumption, you will no how much the car will have cost for 3 years motoring (all of which is covered by warranty).
