That is exactly what I wanted to say... pay extra 20k for the new CGI engine + 7-Gtronic gb version of C180...

 

aiya the CGI C180 and C200 price diff didn't actually calculate la, around 15-20 lo...

 

haha...agree...

 

Both C180 and C200 is using the same 1.8L TC engine but different tuning (HP/torque)

OT A bit, anyone notice C&C started to bring in non-Avangrade version (eg: Elegance etc) nowadays?... applicable to the new E Class at the moment. Notice it when I was going thru their price list after visiting the showroom...

 

COE high they starting to bring in cheaper merc?...

 

Actually for the C Class, best bang for the buck would be the C200. 15k more u get all the memory seat n what's not, more powerfully tune same-o 1.8L engine, cheap roadtax etc etc...

Your last statement is quite true, best bet is on the C200, however, seem like the CnC SE is hard pushing the C180 CGI instead. But still many goes for the C180k of the low road tax and under Cat A COE. <_<

For a little bit more, I will go for the C250 CGI compared to the C200 CGI, 204 BHP against 184 BHP. Same 1.8L engine for the C250 CGI as well.

bro, the last time i checked, the C180 CGI is using 1.8L engine with turbocharger. meaning its under the Cat B.

 

the C180K Kompressor is 1.6L engine with supercharger. this is the one that should be under Cat A.

 

usually for cars in singapore, the lower trim level model will sell better.. due to lower price and our crappy road tax system.

Ya, prob settle for the C180K.

 

Any idea which PI and how much it costs frm them?

 

Hoping that the CatA COE will drop bit by Nov.

I dunno. but on my dad's S350, when on comfy mode forward and reverse start on 2nd gear, the more sporty mode start on 1st gear. More punchy on 1st gear obviously, but 2nd gear to start the car rolling also not ricy at all...

So, does it mean more value to grab a 2yr old C180 with higher OMV and much lower COE (which was back in 2009)? If i intend to use the car for only 3 more years.

 

Considering between getting old vs new C180.

 

well that depends how much you are paying for a used Merc. Looking back at 2009 when the COE was much lower the C Class cost much lesser then so to pay $135k+ is not that economical. Thats near to what they pay for a brand new car in 2009 i believe.

Thanks...

 

In fact, I'm now even considering old C180 or E200, left 3-4yrs which OMV is bout $50k

 

But very very worried bout such old Mercs. Not sure if i should even try out.

 

Sell the current Rush (OMV $19k) considering it can fetch good price now.

I notice that for older cars especially those with higher c.c. like the E240 or C240, their price is as cheap as a E200 of the same year. Reason maybe that it is alot harder to sell to used market when everyone is buying lower c.c rather bigger engines. Like those S280, they could price almost like a E240.

 

Happy hunting [cool]

I'm also debating between C180K or 180CGI. I've booked 180K already. The engine is definitely less noise than my Civic 1.8. But I'm still thinking may be I should have gotten 1.8 engine instead?! I've one more day to decide...what to do what to do...

 

If you can afford the 180CGI, should go for it. C180k is using older technology.

180K is 1.6? go for CGI if you can afford the difference
