2017 vs 2016 differences and expected discounts

Wondering if there are any differences between the 16 and 17 c class cars.

In addition what can be expected in regards to negotiating price for a highly equipped car around 60k sticker? Thanks guys trying to decide what route to go here.

Don't expect much on the 2017's. I'm in the same boat. Either get a 2016 C450 or wait for the C43. The C450 has everything I want expect Carbon Fiber trim.

As someone who has worked in the auto industry for five years, if you're really looking for a deal, wait until December if you can. That's when dealers will give cars away.

There are several differences between the 16 and the 17. Probably he biggest one is the arrival of the 9 speed Trans.


Also, at least in Canada, some of the packages have changed slightly from what I can tell or now include certain items that were stand alone options.


Also, there is now the sport exhaust in the drivers package. I'm curious to know what makes it "special" as compared to the standard exhaust.


Any input on the exhaust and if there are in fact differences is appreciated.

The C450 and the C43 are almost the same car except for transmission and a couple other small tweaks, I believe. The packaging change goes along with what Mercedes has been doing to align their packaging scheme across the line.
