W205 C400
Cool Right now is an awkward timing to buy a new car?

Hi everyone! I own a W204 2013 C300 4matic but soon, in a month or two I won't have it. However, I am planning on buying a new vehicle. I looked into W205 C class, but I am not very interested unless it is a C450 AMG Sport. I also have BMW 4 series in my mind, but C450 will be released on 2016, and BMW 4 series will be redesigned around then. I want to hear everyone's opinions on whether if I should wait, then get a car I really want despite the inconvenience of being car less or just go for C400 or current 4 series.

It's always better to wait for what you want.. C450... It'll be a sweet car.

I see. Thank you for your reply PeterUbers. I see that you have owned cars from different makes one of them being my all time favorites E63S- that I currently can't afford . Do you have any suggestions on cars under 65K dealer price? thank you again.

Brand new? I think the c450 and 340i or 440i and Lexus v8 coupe would be on my short list

I wouldn't settle on the c400

2014 E63 AMG S
Why do you need to get rid of the car in the next month or two? 2013 is still pretty new in my opinion, I would keep at least until the end of the factory warranty.

If you're itching for speed, I'd wait and get a real performance tier car. A relatively new E63 4matic or Audi S7 would be my top two right now, both with high 3-second 0-60s for $100k.

If that's not what you're into, wait and get what you really want.
