2015 C300 RWD AMG SPORT ~ Iridium Silver
NEW TO MBWORLD

New 2015 C300 AMG Sport RWD, MB-TEX, Roof, Blind Spot, PREM1, RCAM, Heated Seats


..
Coming from an 07' 335i 6MT, Sport & Leather
.
.
I really tried to stay with BMW but the MB C300 RWD is just so far ahead of BMW / Audi . I guess the 16' change over for BMW/Audi will be an attempt to catch up. Sure, the numbers will be in favor of BMW but 90% of the driving experience will be leaps and bounds in favor of MB C-Class.
.
Paid: 44,300.00 and I thought I could have gotten more. But then I paid 2400.00 for ext maint and 1,250.00 for maint A,B,C so the dealer made big dollars in this area.


OH - Did I say that it was Iridium Silver & with that black roof it really looks amazing!


I look forward to learning from this sight!!!

Welcome! I also came from the last 4 leases 2 Audi's and 2 BMW's Nothing is better then driving a BMW but I went for the C300 over the new 3 Series because you get more options and MB is now discounting much more then BMW. I was getting 3-4k off with "owner loyalty" and MB gave me 6k off of a pretty base 43k car and I know people getting 8k off a 52k car. They are being aggressive on this new model. Because I'm only doing 3 year 12k miles a year lease I passed on the maint.. Thought it was a rip off for 3-4 oil changes and 2 filter changes.

MB MAINT under warranty -- Worth it

Paid 1,250 for the maint -- and it is a fair deal with all the things they do - way more than oil change. The engine scope its the key. In my wife's ML 350 Bluetec they found a leaking water pump and replaced at 20k miles.

New model year cars make this even more than worth the price of entry.

Maybe if you keep the car for more then 36k miles, if you look at the maintenance for under 36k its 3 oil changes, filters, wiper changes and mid way there is a brake fluid flush. All this is under $700 with a good mechanic. If anything outside or regular maintenance happens to the car is covered under MB. To each there own, all the other checks they have in the book is silly like looking at the air pressure and tire wear. I do this weekly and its just a sales pitch for them to make it look like they are doing a lot.

Nice Wheels - they remind me of the BMW Style 225 that came one the M-Sport Coupe 3 Series -- some of my favorite.

The car I have came with the 19" multi spoke wheels and the factory trunk spoiler, since we represent Carlsson for North America the we swapped the rear deck spoiler and changed out the wheels to our 1/10 wheels, painted all the chrome trim in a Dark Grey and custom painted the Calipers.

Here is a link to a thread we posted when we first got the car done, it shows the paint mods we did to the trim and brakes, along with the deck and wheels.

Waiting still for a few items to come in from Germany, we will post any new mods as we go.

For issues like this, the manufacturer (MB) should be held responsible for warranty right?
