We went looking at Mercs today - my mother is after a W202 C Class. I was genuinely amazed at the prices. In comparison Land Rovers seem to be holding their prices well.
For the same money I paid for a 1997/8 Tdi base model automatic Discovery w 200,000 km, we found 1998 C220s w 100,000 km.
The new price on the Disco was $42,440, the C class $85,990 :eek:.
I'm amazed that such a nice, well regarded car with everything* is selling for under $9k
