Hi


I have currently got the C220 AMG line (all standard manual/artico seats) on order but am thinking of getting the cheaper C200 diesel as for the same contribution (its a company car) I can get red leather, seat comfort pack and the matte black ash trim.


However this will push my current delivery time from mind December to mid March.




what would you do?? Stick to vanilla or go for extra but wait????


also what are your views on the 1.6 diesel?

Do you push the gas?
If yes and if you're looking forward to drive the new W205, than go for the 220
If not, than wait for the 200.

Personally I went for the 220 but in my opinion the 1.5 and 1.6 Renault Diesel engines are best of breed!!

Thanks...i get told I drive like a grandad!

What sort of lead time have they said for this particular model?? I'm wondering if it may be any quicker bases on mt assumption the lower powered diesel will not be so popular.

In Italy the situation is the folowing:
I placed an order on 2/9 and my car will delivered on 15/1
My father asked for a quote on August and the expected delivery time was 3/4 months (obviously my father will place his order after having tested deeply my car... ;-))

This review by What Car features the C200 Diesel.

Might be worth a look to get their opinion.


Hope it helps.

I wouldn't be changing if it were me. Lead times are a joke as they are and you have the best spec as it is.
