Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

Mercedes offers the C-Class in two distinct flavours – traditional or sporty. SE and Elegance models focus on what you generally associate with Merc saloons – comfort, refinement and understated elegance. Sport models are aimed at more youthful buyers and have exterior styling tweaks, firmer suspension and more direct steering.

We prefer the smoother ride and lower prices of SE and Elegance models, but if you’ve got the money the Sport models are fine.

Running costs for most models are reasonable, and private buyers have the reassurance of excellent resale values.

Many C-Class models will be run as company cars, however. High list prices mean that contract hire rates are a little steep, but all models are highly competitive for CO2 emissions, which keeps tax bills down. The C220 CDI SE manual is particularly affordable as a company car, because it’s the only car in the range that qualifies for the 13% tax bracket, the lowest possible for diesels.
