Kalmath 1st Gear October 15, 2014 Share October 15, 2014 Which car would you choose considering both are priced approximately the same, although the XF is a class bigger than C Class. The XF OMV is ~50k, while C Class is ~33k, but XF is 6 years old model, C Class (W205) is new C Class is a good car, however, the high profit margin imposed by the dealer makes it a less attractive option. Anyone can provide opinion on Jaguar vs Mercedes reliability and maintenance cost? ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone can provide opinion on Jaguar vs Mercedes reliability and maintenance cost? For desirability, go for the Jag. For reliability and cost, just go with Japanese. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damienic 5th Gear October 16, 2014 Share October 16, 2014 Jag XF. Granted it is a 6yr old model but both the exterior and interior don't look dated at all. At the current price which the AD is selling at which is even cheaper than the C200 but with a significantly higher OMV, what can you ask for? I will consider the C class only when the model is out for a longer time when the AD slashes its margins. Right now, at a margin of over 50k, I will not. That's just me, perhaps is also because I do not have the moolah but I just do not see why I would fork out such obscene premiums at the moment for a C200. Reliability wise, can go check with the fellows at jagsg club. From the recent rankings, they are not the most reliable but also not the most unreliable. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akula Turbocharged October 16, 2014 Share October 16, 2014 The Jag. C Class, whilst nice, profit margin is simply too much at this time. Once the novelty wears off, or newer competitors enter the market, AD would reduce their margins. Having said that, if one really liked a particualr car, just go for it (regardless of margins/resale value etc....) else, if settle for another car, would always have a nagging doubt at the back of the head..... : "what if/if only at that time I opt for "XXXXX" instead" 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyundai8818 3rd Gear October 16, 2014 Share October 16, 2014 in terms of value, think the XF is more value for $$$ given the high OMV but both very different class leh, 3L vs 1.8L Merc spare parts many stockists have and not that expensive Jag...... no idea, if not easy to find then go back AD, sure expensive but for me, Jag, the more I see it the more I like it, got a class of it own 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanmachine 6th Gear October 16, 2014 Share October 16, 2014 The Jag is a total different class, british made and comfort level is excellent, drivability is top-notch as compared to C, better to use S class Merc as comparison best. Merc parts can be found in any stockists here and it s really available and any ah being to ah kew can service a merc, I would say affordable & light in the pocket. Well, The Jag will be on a high mode if under repairs, Wearnes is never cheap, once go in servicing alone can cost an arm, later stage a leg too. dun get me wrong, I have driven a jaguar and the sad part was the body was heavy, fc was around 7-8L/Km acceptable however it does not bode well older version as it tends to have nitty gritty wear and tear often. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel8210 3rd Gear October 16, 2014 Share October 16, 2014 i drive a C200 W205, just collected the car about 1 month ago previously driving a Toyota Camry for 7 year plus I would say the new C class is very nice, alot of new technology and gadgets FC is on average 8.5L/100Km so far (12km/lit) 184hP, very good, i hardly use the sports mode, just comfort mode under Agility Control and already its very powerful However, having driven a Camry for many years, i have to admit size wise, C class is really much smaller especially for the rear passengers It is afterall a compact luxury saloon, and being RWD, there is this ugly hump near the rear seat floor i would say behind cannot seat more than 2 adults for comfort I have friends owing Jaguar XF, XJ, its nice, but i heard FC is bad and cost of repair..hmmm.....damn ex I wont recommend the Merc E Class although its undergone a new Face Lift, but a brand new Model will be launch probably end of next year or 2016 In comparison, my business partner just bought a BMW 520I (F10) i would say thats a much better car than the E Class of XF ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
