A few questions...your opinions...new c250

I Think I'm settled on this.

2013 C250 w/p1 and push to start, wood grain, black interior.
(liked the "feel" of the turbo better then the c300 I drove first)
Seems like 7-10% off is about the best I've found online for what people paid
Do you think I'd get much better if I just buy a 2012 that has been on the lot a bit? Delivered in September is the plan if go with the '13.

Are the rims the same size front and back?

The car is white, working on figuring out rims now....Does anyone have experience with painted rims? I've seen a few wheels that look great when parts of them are painted to match. I can't imagine the paint stands up to the heat and brake dust very well? Anyone have experience with this?

Personally, I hate a brand new car with more than 30 miles on them. Its maybe 2 miles per test drive and 5 miles for gas or whatever. You can imagine the beating these cars take. Spending 30k+, the car you get better be brand new. However, yes, you would get a much better deal on the 2012 model since it has depreciated. Personally, the choice is yours so just weigh the options.

I would assume that they would keep the staggered wheel set up on the 2013, so, no, the rims are not the same size front and back.

Plenty of people use plasti-dip with great success and it easily peels off if you ever want to remove them. You do need to reapply every now and then.
