2017 Mercedes Benz C 300 loaner $293

Once again we have a used vehicle being evaluated as if it were new. Not sure how many times we have to say it but the car loses 20% as soon as you drive it off the lot. As many of us got 16-18% off MSRP for a brand new vehicle I would want 25-30% off MSRP on a used loaner. So I don’t think the 13.9 score is right because the MSRP is not the right number to plug into the formula.

Now that being said I agree it’s a good deal - you’re paying about 20% less than I did for a better equipped car, that’s been driven a bit.

There is a point to @Boraxo’s post of evaluating these deals as if they were new vehicles. I agree we should be looking for >25% off MSRP for decent deals - and it is possible to find these if one is patient and persistent.

What is the current MF for a 2017 C300 4Matic?
And after 10 MSDs?

Buy rate is .00089 - after 10 MSDs it would be .00019.
