CrossBones Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Hi I am thinking about a Mercedes Kompressor C Class for around 2.9 million. Its a pretty nice car, supercharged... a bit small though. Is this a good buy in Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katabeachbum Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Honda Accord is much larger, same power from a 2400cc (benz 1800cc kompressor), more equipment, at 1,6 mill baht. thats a good buy in LOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rixalex Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Depends how rich you are. To my thinking, over 50,000 pounds for a car like that is a bit daft. But i guess, if you've got it, go ahead and flaunt it mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSJ Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 If you think it's a good deal....that's all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildoates Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I had a C230 in the States, small, not a good ride on the highway, had the most problems than any car I ever owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadekGCZ Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) I had a C230 in the States, small, not a good ride on the highway, had the most problems than any car I ever owned. Everything can have problems, Im always saying I have most problems with TOYOTA and also some with Mercedes, cars are pruduced by humans... + I must edit for second time: I never been to USA but as I know max speed on highway is 75-80mph... I was driving C class 150mph , my S 170mph and both handle great, C as "small" car for old man (previous generation owned by 59yr old people in avarage) is quite sporty with suspension setting to be good for all... Take C 220 diesel, or BMW 320d, if you are under 40yrs . Both diesels have so much power and consuption smaller but you feels as with V6 3.0 petrol engine... I will go for "magnetic suspension" I hope they offer it here, I had in M3, it is simple miracle system! Both RWD, good cars, if you have $, go for it, life is too short!

Eazy-Going Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Had one in UK about 4 years ago, bought from new, mine must've been made on Friday afternoon because nothing but trouble. Engine management system never was set right, panels never seemed to look right on fit, big engine lag, car really drifted and not good on wet corners...swapped it next for the BMW M...evrything the Merc wasn't, and more besides. BIG money to be laying out on a small car, they are v.cramped, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rixalex Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Take C 220 diesel, or BMW 320d, if you are under 40yrs . Bingo. I'd go with the BM. Great engine. Ask Mobi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask Mobi. the 2010 benz 220 and 250 cdi are great twinturbos, more power than BMW 320d/520d Edited January 27, 2010 by katabeachbum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
givenall Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Buy a Mercedes in LOS only to show off. It is too expensive and not much value as compare to Japanese cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 If you want to save some money and drive the Mercedes or BMW you can buy the second hand car but not so old. 1-1.5 year old C200 compressor or BMW 320d with low mileage will cost you about 2M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
