$75 Amazon GC w/ Mercedes C230 sports sedan Test Drive

[BlueMysticWarrior]

I did a search for this and found nothing.

I just got a metal tin from Mercedes a couple days ago, and when I opened it up it had a voucher for $75 amazon test drive.

Request information from Mercedes and I guess they will send you thie tin w/ TD offer

GO to puchase inquiry and request c230 sports coupe info.

By the way I drove it, and was satisfied and am still considering it.

Ok, so you're thinkin' 'bout buyin' Mercedes and still visitin' "hot deals" forum??? Is that me or smthin's wrong here?



j/k, thanks for info!

 

[kermalou]

that is the right thing here, he is after the right deal....

 

[BlueMysticWarrior]

This is the entry model benz, and I am a smart shopper and frugal. I want the toys, but don't want to pay fool price.

 

[Squalish2357]

I get the following choices:

I'm ready to purchase a vehicle resembling the C230 Kompressor Sports Coupe.
Please have a Mercedes-Benz Dealer Representative contact me to
assist with my purchase.

I would like to set up a test drive appointment with a Mercedes-Benz
Representative.

I would like to request a brochure of the C230 Kompressor Sports Coupe.

I would like to request information about Mercedes-Benz Credit.

which one(s) do I need to pick, schedule a testdrive?

I did this for the $75 B&N GC and they were the biggest pricks there. Even wrote on it in OT. I hope you guys hit up all the MB dealers in your area for it because nothing will satisfy me more than seeing them lose out on another $75. And maybe along the way see their reputation tarnished as snobby @ssholes.

 

[azoomee]

It looks like the request goes directly to the dealership -- will all dealerships send you the coupon????

Or is it just a few or one?

 

[MagicianBdotCom]

I have the C230k coupe... just got it last october... hmmm I think I might have to get $75

 

[webley]

Mercedes USA Linked Is this for the C230 Kompressor Sports Coupe? I wonder if it's best to request the brochure or a different option.

Well, just do the $75 Ford Explorer instead. They'll get down on their knees when you walk through the door, and you don't even have to test drive the vehicle! BTW, if MB is so great, why on Earth did they did they hook up with Chrysler? What's next, Hundai?

It'll probably be Mitsubishi. Something about pointed stars on the hood for them.

I got one of these in the mail today. I had requested a C class brochure months ago due to rumors of stuff like this... I can't think of a hotter deal than to get paid $75 to test drive a mercedes.

That reminds me we still have two other Ford $75 test drive vouchers, we need to get signed and mailed off.

Let's see.... One company that makes excellent cars basically buys another company that makes mediocre cars and so the company that has a reputation for building excellent cars is now equated with the company that makes mediocre cars? Maybe you don't yet understand how a merger is often done for financial reasons.You have to realize that Mercedes Benz cars are not made in Detroit.

That having been said, MB has tarnished its image not by buying Chrysler but by building a "car" not worthy of the usual Mercedes standard - you can figure out which one this is (and it ain't the C230 either).

You're right, they're made in Alabama (M-class at least)

Chrysler is well respected worldwide they also are the main manufacturer of tanks for the US armed forces. They also own jeep, wich sells lost of vehicles around the globe. If you goto germany the C-class is just another mediocre car.

 

[SOSTrooper]

Does it have to be the Coupe? The C320 sedan is what I'm eyeing at... But $75 is enough to buy a game for my friend for a surprise.

I just got my information from Mercedes. No GC voucher or anything, but a very nice packet. Thought about buying about a C-Class, but just remembered I need money for that. (c :
I might as well and go take a test drive because my friend bet me that I couldn't get a C-Class past 115 on the highway. I'll show him and maybe I'll just wait till I get out of grad school and then buy one.

 

[Maximus96]

i was under the impression that MB owns parts of Hyndai...

 

[Bomex]

time to go test drive the CL 55!

all i gotta do is act like a famous asian rapper and they will treat me like a god
wear the bling bling, and accidently drop a few bills as u're walking into the dealership

 

[tw1164]

No GC coupon, rats. Oh well

You can definitely take the C320 past 115 MPH. Now the C240 will go past 115 MPH also but it may take a while, the most important factor at those speeds is aerodynamics. Things like power/weight ratios (which IMO was a bit on the lower side on the C240) matter less. I found that the C240 auto trans would not let you rev the engine above somthing like 5800 rpm (even in manual mode - it will simply upshift for you), and so the car might have to hit 5th gear to get past something around 115. I actually managed to hit 100 on a test drive and the guy got a little worried, but I needed to gauge its performance before I could be serious about buying it.

Got mine a few days ago with the GC coupon....now I just have to drive 30 miles to the dealer, do the test drive, and get my GC.

 

[huesmann]

I'd love to see you take one of those suckaz above 115 on the highwway during your test drive. The sales droid will probably have to replace the passenger seat after urinating and/or defacating on it.
