W204 vs a 2004 MB 240
 

The new model will cost a little more I presume (100-150 per month). Is it really worth it? I'd probably have to lease and I'm not sure I want to do that but I really do like the new body style. Is Mercedes doing any special financing right now on either cars? I know BMW is 2.9% for their 2004s.

I'm playing $450 for my 2005 4Matic 240 now. My lease ends next June but I've already been to my local MB dealer to talk about my next car which will probably be either an E-Class or the new C-Class. He already told me the new C-Class will be more expensive then what I'm playing now for my current car by approx. $100. I also went to the website and I speced out a C-Class that I'd like and in the payment estimator it came to $550 a month; spot on what my dealer said. Is it worth is ? That's really up to you to decide. I have to do it because my lease is ending.

The new C300 Sport is actually less then last year's C230 with more standard options.

MB is offering no financing deals right now since the car is so new.
