MZurf Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I have seen a few new Mercedes C 180 in Thailand and went to the local Mercedes dealership to check the price but they said they did not sell that model due to the fact that the fuel sold in Thailand is of a poor quality and this creates problems in the engine of this car. Any idea why this only affects this model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manarak Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 (edited) Ridiculous MB, where did you go t get this reply ? C180 if officially sold by MB in Thailand for 2.99 millions. I guess that's for the base model, "without everything", as the German press called it. Almost 2.5 times the price in Germany...

Jitar Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I assume the OP is talking about the C180 coupe. The small C class sedan is now a C200 (with 1.8L engine)? Anyway the MB Thailand web site has the C180 coupe brochure but the C Class Coupe spec page only lists the C250? http://www.mercedes-benz.co.th/content/thailand/mpc/mpc_thailand_website/enng/home_mpc/passengercars/home/new_cars/models/c-class/_c204/facts_/technicaldata/models.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkokstick Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Yes its weird ! They show the price of the c180 on the brochure but not the specs on the website ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) Only five months I waited for 8 months for my PJS... What?!?! The PJS has never had a booking queue that long - looks like you bought from a dealer with account/credit issues. Or maybe yours is the only pink one in TH?

Payboy Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 C180 is a crap entry model, but I'd say a C250 CDI with its 500NM torque and 200+hp, kicks serious ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace of Pop Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Id say the Ford Scorpio 2.8I i had in Lisbon years ago was better Value than any Benz. In fact Benz and Opal were our main Taxi Cabs.Id go for Audi here if i could afford one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennedy Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I just had a flashback when I saw Mercedes 180. I bought a 1957 180 D in 1970 for 500 bucks. 42 hp. You clocked 0-60 in minutes not seconds. That being said, she was challenge to drive, but still miss the old girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangkokstick Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 C250 is not coupe. The only C-class coupé available in Thailand is C180 Coupé. Actually this C180 coupé has been launched in 2011 so it's not so old, I wonder if they will really launch a new one in 2015 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
