W213 E200 or W213 E250

[Merc Fan]

Hi bros,

Given the E200 and E250, which is more worthwhile to purchase in terms of value?

[michaelleongchangliat]

E250 for the Widescreen cockpit n higher omv. We might see a new 4 cylinder engine for the w213 fl

[Merc Fan]

However, I was told that the resale value of E200 and E250 is only a few thousand dollars difference and it makes it not so viable?

[Spurman]

Ah. Its a 17k diff.

From c n c options.

1. Widescreen cockpit

2. Nappa leather if i am not wrong.

3. More horses.

No nappa leather for AVG model except for exclusive. Nappa is harder to maintain😢

Is the non Nappa leather on avantgarde real leather?

E250 avg gets exclusive rims as well. Imo the e250 is worth getting especially in avg trim

The E-class all have real leather, except Nappa Leather for Exclusive models. Nappa leather is softer but harder to maintain and easily scratched. Yes the AVG also get the exclusive rims too. Need to pay another 17K for the E250 but when you sell it, can get back maybe half the 17K?

Yes all E-class has real leather. C-class and below, man-made artico leather.

Bro, have you pulled the trigger yet?

So I was also deciding between E200 AVG and E250 AVG. They had two of these cars... same colour side by side. The rims on the E250 definitely looks better.

But I decided against E250 as I am not particular about the higher HP and the widescreen. I opted for E200 so that I can spend abit more on aftermarket mods.

[Merc Fan]

I went for the E200 AVG as the little extra HP and the widescreen are not important to me as I only use some basic functions like aircon, radio, telephone etc. Hence I go for the E200AVG. I agree with you that the rim for E250 is nicer. I have already collected my car recently, 2017 version with the black Mercedes logo.

Congrats!

Maybe you can change the rim to E250 rim?

Late Sep/Early Oct. Shopping around now for potential mod. I think change of rims can wait until the tires become worn. Change all together. Nobody wants stock rims. So difficult to get value even if just fresh out from C&C.

What colour did you get? I got a Diamond Silver.
