2006 Mercedes-Benz B-class 200 .. test drive?

[greenapples]

I'm getting a great deal on the 2006 Mercedes-Benz B200. My boss knows a manager at a MB dealership. For about $270 a month (leasing, taxes included), I get all the options and a kitchen sink.

I have never seen the car, other than on the MB website. Has anyone had a test drive with this car or know anything about it?

Well it looks like Mazda 5

B class?.....ha-ha, i won't even say more about that

[greenapples]

Is it worth getting or not?

How much is the total price if you were to buy it with cash. I would not loook at from the monthly 'lease' payment perspective only,

What is the term, rate, annual km allowance, buyback option etc.

The car is a small compact class. People use to see MB as a luxury brand here in NA and an economy class vehicle like B or A Klasse from Benz seem funny for them.

How is the warranty like? 80,000 km 4-5 years? Maintenance included?

They have a promo on now for 327/ month, with abotu 3000 down. lease. But ya it's not alot of car for what you get, and it';s FWD!. I thought about getitng it too. I would get a base one, all the bells and whistles really up the price and for "leather" u only get 2 strips of leather on the seat, and middle is still clothe, they call it the "sport" seats.

The sales wanted me to test drive, but maybe go back when i am serious about it.

What a Mercedes with no leather? That's the first I've heard although I don't know anything about this car.

All I've been told is that it's a 'wannabe' Mercedes to lure people into the segment that normally wouldn't or couldn't afford the higher end models.

The C classs coupe doens't have leather either, and the basic C220 back in the days do'nt have it either.

But ya the B class is an attempt by MB to get a bigger market share. There are even smaller cars the A class in europe that they haven't introduced yet but probably won't.

The B is a pretty practical car, if you are a practical person, but also want to have the MB badge.

The A class' proportions appear better...the B looks...weird

B class


A class



The B is fairly roomy...probably comparable in cargo space to a matrix or audi A3

PT Cruiser is based on a Neon, no way in hell would mercedes use that platform for it's cars.
