Would you buy a new 2008 C Class for 35K or a 2004 E class for the same price?

I currently drive a 2002 Mazda Millenia and the C is smaller

I would get the C Class because its new and i like the styling.
Reply:I'd go for the older car. the reason is that the moment you leave the lot with a brand new car it looses almost half its sticker value. Its also easier to negotiate a deal on a used car. A 2004 should be in excellent shape.
Reply:ONLY if they`re DIESELS! The gas ones are too picky, but Mercedes make the most trouble-free diesels out there, and they go for a million miles (it`s been done!)
Reply:nether. Benz sucks
Reply:The 2004 above all here is why?


If any recalls have been sent out on the car the dealer would know if they were answered. All you have to do is call the dealer and give them the VIN# that is on a plate in the lower left of the windshield. Recalls do happen for sure. And if the car you are interested in was recalled and the recall was answered you will have no problem regarding that recall.


Some times more than one are sent out and are not all answered. So ask what recalls have been sent out and what


recalls ave been answered.
