C300 Sport/Palladium Silver on Black/P2
What do you guys think of the newest price increases?

MBUSA.com now have the updated, increased prices, listed on all the cars.

My C-Class, if it was a 2009 with same options is now something like $2,500 more than the window sticker on my car was.

I think this latest jump was $800?

I know it's because of the weak U.S. Dollar, etc. It's a bit troubling though, isn't it, because look how many times MBUSA have had to do this this year. I just don't see when it will ever end. I worry something like a C-Class will soon be $40,000 starting.

Ok, just wanted to hear if anyone else had a thought to share. Take care of your money all.

You can count yourself fortunate that you bought when you did, then. Just think about the prices on for example, the new E-Class.

And it's drop-dead gorgeous, BTW. Good thing I can't afford one.
