Leasing

I'm thinking of trading in my 320 and leasing an '07 230. Has anyone taken advantage of the holiday special that is running right now and if so, what options and for how much? I'd like feedback from everyone though.

thanks!

Russ

I know.... I'm just not so sure about the w204. I really like the styling of the w203.

You say that now but when all your friends have W204's, you'll want it bad. Hang in there.... I thought the W203 was not that great looking when it first came out and then it grew on me and I bought 2.

But there is no way in hell he will get low 300's for a lease on a w204. First year he will probably be looking at 500-550+(based on e90 first year lease prices and my experience on first year w203). If you are in dire need of fresh leather smell then lease for 2 yrs and return it right back to them for a w204 when they will undoubtively have promotions.

That is exactly what I'm thinking. In 27 months I'll either be ready for a w204 or maybe a w211. I love my 320, just would like to get into something a little more sporty...

Just make sure you don't go upside down or loose on your 320

I almost traded it in on a C32 a few months back and they were going to give me about $3000 over what I owe so I dont think that will be a problem.

Even the '07s? The 201hp doesn't bring it within range of the 320's performance?

not even close
C320 has much better performance and interiour features than C230.

only good part about 07 c230 is that, it looks much nicer, cause of amg bodykits, and newer style interior.

but as far as the performance, and features, C320 is just much better than c230

You are 100% right

Besides, if I had 320 I would never change it for 230; my another 2 cents
