C class w205

[My2sons]

Dear all sg merc bro, I recently place a order for c class 180, was told by C&C that my order has 4 item missing or diff Frm current line up, no Touchpad, crome parts at side, air intake , n rear bumper, they say will deduct $1k as goodwill, what's yr take? Thanks in advance

[bbwannabe]

I think exterior stuff are easy to replace (i.e. buy outside) but touchpad seems like a hard to replace item. Get that no matter what.

 

P.S. IMHO, rear bumper & spray painting is already $1k outside no?

[heidtb]

1k? That's like 10k at least. Better off go PI

[CES KLASS]

No way for just 1k discount, better get them to honour the 4 missing items listed in the purchase agreement you signed!

[arkaneslayer]

Better get the 4 items.

[My2sons]

Thanks all, I'm negotiating with sales ad now, hopefully can get a better deal, bought mine when Coe was $65k but got a $58k Coe, they make a lot but deduct so little

[Ah Bui]

you signed for it.... it's in the sales agreement... then make sure they are there.... tell that to the SE.... or you deduct 10k from the bill... your take....

[NigelTan]

I can't believe the Authorized Distributor like C&C can do that, no touchpad ? Seriously?!

[bbwannabe]

There you go. Owners who know better giving you morale support.

 

In any case, what is your COE rebate level? Can't be $50k right?

[My2sons]

Thanks all bro for the kind advice

[My2sons]

Coe rebate at $51k at that time if not wrong

[Omgamg]

Rear no chrome diffuser? That unacceptable!

Touch pad I find is unless cos the design not ergonomic

[heidtb]

Why sound like cnc become those dubious pi? Or they took a car from pi and try to sell u

[Mika]

Hi I am new here. I am looking to buy a C180. Do u have any good SE to recommend?

[vinfang]

If already sign black n white with all items in, personally I will say "NO" to the counter offer.

[heidtb]

They should be giving amg line or other cars as a counter offer. Cnc getting out of hand cause everyone just buy thinking merc ah won't cheat or ah reputation important.

Sadly they could care less

[My2sons]

I'm still waiting for their counter offer, will post up when I got gd or bad news

Many years ago, I was at a C&C function and overheard this old-bird salesman (perhaps cos he was drinking) telling my friends "Aiya, just buy la, chiah kiah nia" (small car only) when one of the group asked him for a better price on a C180.

 

My conclusion after that is, unless you are buying an S or at least an E, anything smaller than an E and you are just a wannabe in the eyes of these sales people and they really can't care less.

I had that same feeling when I spoke to this old woman saleswoman at Jaguar when I looked at the XE.  I just told her to leave me alone cos I am only looking, no intention of buying.  That was the 2nd saleswoman I found to be wanting.

On the other hand, there is this salesman at Lexus who is damn patient even after all these years.  How I wish there is a Lexus that I would like to own.

 

Sorry, a bit off-topic but, if I were you, I will just insist I want whatever that I paid for.

when comes to selling off the car, you might be disadvantaged. Since it is a business transaction, why make people's life easy at the expense of yours? They will not love you more what, right? 

[Omgamg]

The entry level argument is invalid imo. The mid size sedan of all makes is always the best seller like Mazda 3, bmw 3 series, Toyota corolla. Without c class, merc close shop liao.

Furthermore there are so many models beneath c class.

Sorry, I'm a c class owner and my previous ride also same class so I'm always miffed when ppl call these models entry level.

Mean buy Toyota cannot buy corolla must always aim for camry? Makes no sense

[heidtb]

I think the mindset rather right or wrong is buy c180 means Camry level but stretch budget to own badge. Then if you buy Camry means can't afford c180 but once reach E class level means up there already

[bravooc10]

maybe ba. anyway the new C price not that much difference from the E. Didnt really like the E cos the interior just looks dated compared to the new C. 

[Omgamg]

So buy Mazda3 means stretch budget cannot afford Sonata?

I don't have a big family nor am I big sized so driving a big car is never on my list.

[708]

can't believe 2015 already still got people is this kind of thinking.. there are really really many many who can afford an S-class but drive a/b/c class...

 

btw, 1k discount for 4 items really sounds too cheap.. got to be worth 10k at least??

[My2sons]

Still waiting for their reply, will start to chase tomorrow, thanks all for the encouragement
