New B170 ... Any comments ?

[Ferraricalifornia]

Touran seems to have a better engine...1.4TSI 170bhp 7DSG...

 

now $102,300...the 3rd row seats are useless though...but rear seats can also be height adjusted...

VW is better value...but owning my own first merc is priceless.

Hi All,

 

Saw in the papers that the B180 is now $93k. It's 20k lesser than the listed price.

 

Anyone knows how the promotion works? Any catch for the offer?

Probably includes overtrade plus cash back from their loans...

 

As always, T&Cs apply...

you must first have a car to trade in...

 

you must also take a loan of min 70% from 7yrs onwards...

 

interest rate of 2.8% applies(I think- which is 0.6%) higher than the industry 2.2%...

 

you get a 8% cash rebate from the interest and it can be thrown into the car loan...

 

quite complicated in 2 words...

Today saw ST that there is 7% extra on top of the trade in value of our previous ride. with this, does the price still remain as 93k?

yes...actually the Mercedes-Benz isn't selling at 93k...it's selling more than that...93k is the nett selling price...no more additional discounts...

C&C? Shouldn't be expensive.

Go to Benzline....one piece was $25 when I bought it many years ago. For MB questions, post in sgmerc.com for more answer.

The new B Class offers a better centre of gravity not that the older one is bad, they are both equally good. Electronic wise...Well I guess the new one has more that of C-Class stuffs, like Step Hold Brake and Park Assist and Attention assist and all that jazz, got it?.

 

The older B-Class has a superb size and height and the new one has a lower but longer wheel base making tight corners a piece of cake. One thing to observe, this not a car for power rather comfort with style and luxury. That's Mercs!.

 

The price should be around $170k for entry model versus C-Class $210k for entry model. The size of both models (old and new B Class) aren't that much difference but the power for the new model is some what like the older B200, responsive but not like BMW 1 series kinda power lah. Comfort ride and I would change mine for this new one if LTA reduce the COE in the future or I guess I will be taking a bigger Mercedes, the SBS Transit

Mercedes Benz!

Hi there,

 

We are students from NTU doing a market research study on Cars. Would be great if you can take 2 mins off to help us complete a survey :)

Thanks a lot for helping!

Hi All,

 

Any comments of the above ... interested in this model as it's bigger than the A-class, yet still cheaper then the mainstream Merc models (C, E, S) ... the 1.7L version also helps abit in rd tax as compared to B200 :)

 

Thanks in advance ...

The new b class should be B200, 1.6, 156hp. B170 is W245 from 2005 to 2009. If you are interested try sgmerc. There is a guy trying to sell his new B200 (2011 model) without Coe. He won in the lucky draw few week ago. I think is going at around 50k.
