E250 CDI cabrio equivalent

[CSK423]

Currently have a PCP deal expiring on the above in April. The new E cabrio isn't out till sept/Oct ? so that isn't an option in the short term to move into.

So not sure what to do next, move into the current (soon to be replaced E cabrio) and if so there isn't a current equivalent to the 250, it's either up to the 350 or down to the 220.

Anyone have an idea of discount on new of the current out going e Class Cabrio ? this would give food for thought.

Had a look at broadspeed for discounts on the outgoing E cabrio, would welcome thoughts on if these could be bettered from a dealer ?

E220 - 10K from list
E350 - 11K from list

Would've thought the new C-Class Cabriolet is the closest new equivalent, it's more or less the sams exterior size as the outgoing E. Choice of the 220d or 250d

The C is nice it's just that bit smaller on the interior compared to the E. Discount on the C is around 5k, due to it being so new but not sure how it's GFV (if on a pcp) holds up.

Had an appointment yesterday called by the dealer to talk through options, after waiting for an hour we walked out, pretty poor customer service. There are only so many "He'll be with you in 5mins" you can take.

Sadly that seems to be the way with customer service these days. As it happens I've been enquiring about a used car at a Mercedes dealer this morning, they said they'd call me back an hour ago but still waiting

Don't hold your breath. I visited my two closest Mercedes dealers, gave them all my details and ran through the complete spec I wanted. They said they'd work out the price and let me know the soonest delivery date. I never did get a reply despite chasing them up. Do these people want to sell cars?

They eventually got back to me and I've ended up buying it since the price was right! But yeah slow service.
