C220 vs C250 / Alloys / Deposit
Discussion
Hi All,
Wondered if some of you may be able to assist with some questions I have. May appear a little crazy but I put a £500 deposit on a C220 without knowing a tonne about the range. I previously had a 2010 C200 company car and was given a C220 loan car when it was in for service one day. The C220 was the new 2011 model with sport pack and it blew me away compared to the 2010 previous generation model.
Anyway, today I walk into the Merc dealership thinking the 220 was the way to go.. I put a deposit down (£500) over the phone (when I left the dealer) but getting home this evening I've played with the Merc website configurator.
Questions I have:
1. I notice the C250 isn't way more expensive and yet offers fantastic performance. Am I missing something here as the engine sizes appear the same. Appears to be a better option than the C220 - not too much more money, similar economy and much more performance.
2. The option for alloys are 17" and 18" - the 18" are no more expensive (£0 cost option). Would you recommend the 18"? If nothing else they look nice.
3. I put the deposit down over the phone when I'd left the dealership. I doubt the dealership will get funny about the deposit but by law am I ok to change to a different vehicle or refund? I haven't even signed the PCP finance agreement yet.
Any other advice appreciated. Very much bought into the car as I love the drive but want to make sure I make the right decision.
Thanks, Rob.
