Question 2010 vs. 2009

I'm interested in buying a C300, but I'm kind of particular about the specs and apparently there's not much inventory in Canada.

It seems like it's getting a little late in the model year to order a 2009 from the factory. So I'm kind of torn....

Should I just wait for the 2010s to come out? When do you think I'd actually receive a new 2010? Anyone know if there will be significant changes for next year?

Thanks for your help.

If you are not in a hurry, I would wait a couple more month for the 2010 to show up then you will know exactly what are the changes and which one is right for you.
By then, if you decide to go with a 2009 C300, you can get better deals as dealerships are cleaning out inventory too.

I agree, definitely wait for the 2010. It won't be much longer..

i'll be the dissident here..

2010 is still a good 4-5 months away.

plus, if you plan to order special (atypical) option packages, that's another 2-4 months wait.

so you could end up waiting another 6-9 months.

besides, you can get a great deal right now when demand isn't so high (for a new model)

Judging from MY09 dates, the 2010 production will start in June. First cars will show up in late July-August.

& again, if u r ordering with atypical options, you will receive the car at the same time 2011 specs are beginning to leak, and then you will wish you would have waited just a bit longer for that model..its a never-ending cycle.
