I am considering to buy a 2003 C230K (w/ manual, C4, C7) or the Jetta GLS 1.8t (w/ manual, spt pkg). What kind of pricing should I expect to get for the C230K? I heard they are giving out a big discount (over 4k off MSRP?) and that's the only reason I would ever consider buying a MB out of a tight budget. What do you guys think are the pros and cons for both cars? Obviously, MB is a much more expensive brand than VW, but what would you guys say beside the name? Thanks for your help.

 

First to need to list which area of the country you are in. Second, this sticky by MB-BOB and this is also very helpful.

 

are you comparing a VW and a mb?? hmm.... oh well, go test drive both and compare prices!
