Chi-Benz

Hey all. In the market for a used W204 C-Class and have found 2 to choose from. I'm in the Chicago area and would really like a 4-matic sport (winters can be pretty nasty). Pricing is irrelavent as they are very close and all under 10,000 miles. Here are the options:

1. C300 RWD - P2, Comand HK, iPod kit, Certified.

2. C300 AWD - P1


I would love to have it loaded like the first car but it's not AWD. Do I really need AWD? Maybe just go the winter tire route? It's a very tough decision for me and really need your Pros and Cons. Please let me know what you all think. Thanks.

wait a bit more for the market to open up.
since your primary preference if for a 4matic.
I say wait for more to come.

the next concern would be the color of your car as well.

Hey Chi-Benz, I live in Chicago too and I am trying to buy a C300. I am going with the 4Matic, I have an all-wheel drive car now (an old Jeep) and so I just though it would be hard to adjust. I'm sure there will be a few times durig the winter where you would need 4 wheel drive (parking lots and such), but to be honest, they are pretty good about plowing in most neighborhoods. If it were me, I'd go with the 4Matic.

I live in Sunny Cali so no snow here, but I would go with a 4matic with the P2 and Command Navi. Having it fully loaded is the way to go. Wait it out and get what you really like.
