New Mercedes A Class Advice Needed Please

[caz787]

Sorry first of all I am new to this so apologies if I am doing anything wrong or posting on a topic already covered.

We are due to go into Mercedes today to have a look at and possibly purchase the new A Class,180D Auto AMG Line Premium. Reason we like this car is mainly due to the interior that has the new interactive dash.

They are including in this 3 years servicing as part of the deal. However they are asking for the following:

Deposit - £2500
Part Exchange my car (Audi A3 S Line Saloon with 28500 miles on clock - they are clearing the finance which is approx £14000)
Monthly payment - £312 on a PCP 4 year deal with 10,000 miles

They are saying the list price for the car is £31,650 but that I am actually getting it for £26,429.15 so a discount of £5220.85.

Our budget is £300 including gap insurance and they will not budge on the £312. I really need advice are they ripping me off? Thanks in advance to all for your comments :-)

Put your details in there

Might save you a few bob.

It would be a PCH not a PCP but then again I've never liked PCP.

Check CarWow and the like for the price of the A Class

Check WBAC and the like for the value of your A3

Then make your mind up whether the deal you've been offered is a rip off or not

Hello and welcome, it certainly does not appear that you are being ripped off as you are receiving a healthy discount on a newly launched model.

I think the thing I would want to check is how much you are actually being given for the Audi PX? Are they giving you £14k value for it to clear off the finance or is some of the finance being added to the Mercedes (if that makes sense)? If they are giving you £14k, is this the correct value for the car or is it worth any more?

Webuyanycar when I put the details in say £14,500 for my Audi then again they wont have seen the alloys and the damage caused by my bad parking!!

Thanks peeps for the help

Well, the deal you have seems a good one - I imagine they are trying to get a deal done for September registration to help with target- so from that point of view yes.

Personally, I would just be sure that a 48m PCP is what you want, if you decide you fancy something newer in two years will you be able to change the car without facing a big negative equity situation? There is no definite answer to this and you probably have considered it already but it is just something I would want to be sure on.

We have done that with the Audi due to go back end of January next year - still happy to drive around on it 3.5 years on....
