So I went to place a c class estate order today, species to the max. But there are problems with the spec. Air suspension has a ? On availability and 360 degree camera is unavailable.

So I have to wait until May if I want the 360 camera or get one almost immediately without that option.

Not sure what to do...

The standard suspension is good you dont need Airmatic and as standard you have reversing camera so save £1,200 and order without both

I guess the airmatic element I wanted due to, according to mercedes, sound insulation is superior.

The 360 cam, though I know is a bit gimmicky, might help in difficult spaces. For the little it costs, I'd like it but don't want to delay the car. I'm curious why its not available when some early cars have it.

Its good that everyone is different but personally when I order a C200 petrol AMG line saloon when I know when the new engines will be introduced I wont have any extras as they have as standard everything I need,even white paint is free.Also helps depreciation but think that that will be good on the new C Class as you can get about 5k off the new price and they appear to be excellent value for money relatively speaking.

This makes it about the same price as a Golf GT,Passat or a Ford Mondeo with the extras you need to bring it up to the Mercedes spec.

I know which I prefer.
