hello, I appreciate the advise. I do invest into stocks and crypto. To me investments are important. Thank God I'm comfortable for my age although I'm by any means not rich. If I do go through with a decision on a new AMG I will only do so if I can get the right deal, as this is a lot of money to be spending.
I understand the obvious reasons, but why shouldn’t I go with a non amg c class? I know AMG are king just curious to see it from another pov
It's not really because of the AMG badge or anything. I mean, you are looking for a C43 and even a C63 for the performance right? A C300 is not going to offer you that performance is all. On a side note, I also recently purchased a Hyundai Veloster N DCT and I find myself having more fun with that than my C43 haha. I'm not sure what it is but it's one hell of a car for a $32k car. Have you considered other cars that also have good performance or is Mercedes your only option?
if its between the c43 and c300, take any c43 you can get your hands on lol. then again if you haven't test driven the c43 yet - then dont if you want to get the c300 lol. i speak from experience had a good number of MBs.

Fully agree on getting the C43 but I am biased because I own one xD
Haider Reza, if you don't need power and prefer a somewhat smoother transmission (which a C300 should have) and is perfectly fine with a 4-cylinder then C43 might be excessive for you, the suspension is also more comfortable on the C300 if that affects your decision although you can get it to ride better with non run-flats and the facelift C43 have a way softer suspension tuned compared to pfl but will never be completely the same to a C300 (especially if that C300 doesn't have amg-line with sport tuned suspension)
Agree with others, if Mercedes isn't a must for you there are plenty of other great options from German rivals, Japanese, Korean and Swedish. If you do like Mercedes, wants some power and don't need V6 then A35, A45, CLA 35/45 etc might be something you could consider. If exhaust note is high on your list then C43 no doubt or C63.
If you are not in a rush and love tech (especially screens), then wait till early next year for the W206 C300 to come and see if you like that.

Totally forgot about CLA45.
Get that since you cant get new C43 and C45 isn't even out yet, looks awesome imo!
If you look at the rear end, the USA version has these things sticking out. Once you notice them, you can't not notice them. They're really an eyesore and personally, I think they ruin the entire design of the car.
Look how much cleaner it looks for the EU version:

Agree, at least the E-Class coupe's bumperettes used in the North American market looks much better but still...
Wonder if the regulations on that will ever change so MB doesn't have to include them anymore on any of their coupes in North America.

True. and....
Speaking of OP, I am wondering was there a reason why you were looking at all models of the C-Class lineup from base MB to AMG, is it because you prefer the 205 over other cars? If so do you mind sharing with us your preferences, things you like about the last gen C-Class or hate about it, if not do you want to share with us what other cars in MB's lineup or even from different brands are you interested in? OP, please share with us when you see this post so we can all help you with your purchase decision.
