Sizable cash discounts are on the table at Mercedes, most linked to PCP finance offers with some pretty tempting monthly payment plans.
Best Mercedes deals: A basic A-Class 160 BlueEFFICIENCY will set you back £219 a month on a three-year deal. The interest is set at 5.7 per cent APR with an initial deposit of £1,999. Opt for a high-spec A160 CDI Avantgarde SE and the monthly payments rise to £269 but interest is lower at 5.5 per cent.
Best marketplace deals: If you can get finance elsewhere, check out the brokers for discounts. For example, Broadpseed offer a PCP deal on the A160 CDI Avantgarde with monthly payments of £268. It's more flexible too, with the company offering a deposit anywhere from 0 per cent to 40 per cent and monthly repayments from two to four years.
Mercedes C-Class
Best Mercedes deals: The C 200 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY Executive SE Saloon is available for £329 a month over three years, but interest is quite high at 5.9 per cent. It's a similar story with the initial deposit which comes in at £3,699.
Best marketplace deals: Push the dealers for more, or try the pre-haggled deal hammered out by the brokers. E.g. Broadspeed’s £2,238 off a C200 CDI diesel Elegance, now down to £23,797.
Best Mercedes deals: Big diesels like the E350 CDI Sport can be bought for £439 a month on a three-year deal, with interest at 5.7 per cent. The customer deposit is a hefty £5,499 though.
Best marketplace deals: Not massive savings, but slightly better than the official if you want to avoid being tied-down in a finance arrangement. Broker Broadspeed drops the price of an SE version of the super-frugal E250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY to £27,175, saving just under two grand.
