dreamybear 1st Gear June 4, 2019 Share June 4, 2019 Just dropped by C&C last weekend. B200 sellable for 172888 with 5000 discount & 5000 credits. When asked how many sold so far during Vivo event till now, SA skipper the answer hence quite sure the take up rate n response are muted for the new B200. Hopefully, this will make C&C treat existing its customers better ! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjc Neutral Newbie June 5, 2019 Share June 5, 2019 Taking care of existing customers well means giving them good trade-in prices so that they can up-trade & continue to drive & support the brand. This plus ensure good quality value for money in the maint of the fleet, whatever the make. Somehow the C&C of today is rather high handed, thinking they are at top. Hmm, use cases, Nokia & Sony, where they now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceecookie 5th Gear June 5, 2019 Share June 5, 2019 Wait for B180 trim to be launched. Turbo engine can be chiptuned for more power, so u are essentially getting an "upgrade" to B200/B250 for a few Ks at outside workshop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartlander Turbocharged June 5, 2019 Share June 5, 2019 Wait for B180 trim to be launched. Turbo engine can be chiptuned for more power, so u are essentially getting an "upgrade" to B200/B250 for a few Ks at outside workshop.But unfortunately this time round, B180 will be under same COE category as higher end variants due to engine output, so essentially will only be a few k lower. Not worth imho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
therock Supersonic June 7, 2019 Share June 7, 2019 When a new car is introduced, it’s understandable that there’s a premium attached to it. However at its prices, it’s going to be a much harder sell. Previously the W246 was a top seller, even hitting top ten locally before. I’m not sure if it will reach those levels. Merc also needs to make sure the electronics are reliable. Otherwise if it descends to the level of other conti brands, that won’t bode well 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahok Neutral Newbie July 11, 2019 Share July 11, 2019 The profit from cycle is way high up. Compare the previous and the current generation E class. The price difference is 60-70k and the pre facelift and the new facelift of C class. Its almost 10k more. Furthermore there are no discount and almost naked body with not much options on the cars except they give you higher service credits. Their SE giving take it or leave it attitude. Those reliable biggest PI cars have full options and it's way cheaper. They even have their own workshops. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Innocuous 3rd Gear September 6, 2019 Share September 6, 2019 Any existing driver in regard of the chat title ? I went to test drive B200, 2 days ago, everything looks fine. I am contemplating between the new A-Sedan or B-200. The former South African and the latter is Germany made. Price wise, marginal difference . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw in SG carmart that both the A & B class are made in Germany? I've not driven either so can't really comment but A class being saloon shld be able to handle better though B class shld be more spacious so really depends on what you want. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I got from my AD B - Germany , A Sedan - South Africa & CLA - Hungary These 3 cars share the same engine. The only diff is the exterior design and space. A Sedan is $163k , B is $170 and CLA is $180k - retail prices. Negotiable, based on individual bargaining skill My driving pattern and needs , B suits me more ! Anyway, I am adopting a wait-&-see attitude, given my car is relatively young (5 years @54,000km) Let see any miracle on COE , or C&C runs year-end promotion Edited September 6, 2019 by Innocuous 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've not even properly launched it so there will definitely be some over offers (read: high over-trade) along the way. CLA - is nice but priced too high.

Cant say for sure as i don't work there but knowing their style, they rotate the models they want push and dishes out goodies as and when. Look out for their ads on the papers or get a SE to prompt you on their offers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
