The Best 5 AFFORDABLE Mercedes (With Warranty Too)

That blue C300 is gorgeous. Even though these newer automatics are super quick shifting and super fuel efficient, I’d love a three pedal version, especially in the coupe. So much fun rowing gears in a boosted four banger.

[@ECPP]

I totally agree. A stick would be a nice touch.

[@jnrocktx]

Agree, and in the states I’m seeing a ton of W205 zipping around as the resale makes them accessible now. I actually picked up a 2018 C300 Cabriolet as CPO earlier this year. Just make sure it comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, still boggles my mind that package wasn’t standard in the W205.

[@nirvanasingh8407]

the most stunning. had mine written off a few days ago by a distracted driver

[@TheOriginalDJMrVee]

I bought a CLA250, 4matic with the AMG sport package in Jan. of this year. It’s a 2015 CPO and had just over 33k on it. So far, it’s the best car I’ve ever owned. Amazing pick-up, very good on gas and just an incredible vehicle for the money. My only real complaint is the ride is a little stiff so, on bad roads you feel every bump however, put it on some smooth pavement and it rides like it’s on a cloud. I’ve owned Lexus and while it is a good car, it’s no Mercedes. I’m a Mercedes Benz driver for the rest of my life.

If you buy a Mercedes that doesn’t have four wheel drive, then fitting winter tyres is essential. Without them, driving in snow or ice is dangerous. I believe that all new cars sold in Germany have winter tyres fitted as standard. So I was told anyway .

[@dct124]

I have a E-Class this car cost as much as a Accord to maintain 🤷🏾‍♂️ now if you go to Mercedes for repairs it's definitely expensive. But if you learn a bit about the car it's really really easy to maintain. Also don't use the 10k mile oil change interval. 7k or 5k for spirited drivers and if you are just hard on cars definitely 3k miles. Also change the trans fluid regularly and ahead of schedule. Never go below a quarter tank to preserve the fuel pump. Also if you live on the East coast in snowy areas, consider the Nokian WR G4 they are All Weather tires not All Season. I've been up to 130mph, no issues. If you swap Summer/Winter cool. I prefer these over the Continental DWS06. I haven't tried the plus yet but from what I've read the DWS is still a really soft tire. These are slightly firmer. They do seem to last a bit longer too even though they have the same rating.

[@dct124]

I know have a set of DWS06 Plus. Night and Day difference, these tires are as grippy as summer tires for normal driving especially good in the wet compared to the Nokian WRG4. These have a AA traction rating, the Nokians have a A traction rating and don't have sizes bigger than 245/40 in 18in. My rears are 265/35 18. Grip is no issue in the wet and my car is RWD only. Planning to swap to Michelin AS4 for winter.

The S class is definitely classic if you want a looker and a bit more maintenance but it is more luxurious. If I wanted an SUV it would have to be the GL since I am used to more space and hauling capacity. I am the oldest of five sons and my mom had her first Suburban in 1975. Came in handy hauling us around with our friends to school and sports practice. When she went to her assisted living apartment I started driving her last SUV which is an excellent GMC Yukon. It’s a very comfortable and well built vehicle but not a Mercedes. Been driving Cadillacs since 1970 and Mercedes since 1980. Love them both! 😎

But what the heck I got to drive a Cla250 for couple days for free and I loved it when I first saw it and after a couple days of driving it I did not like it anymore.... LOL...

[@mykofreder1682]

Unless you put a lot of miles on a car a warranty on a used car is not important. I bought a 5-year-old Mercedies and it already was out of warranty, so you get a 3- or 4-year-old used car you may only have 1 or 2 years of warranty. There is some sweet spot millage on and planned millage added during warranty, it has 50K and I plan to put 30K on it the year and a half of remaining warranty, I see it. I would prefer an out of warranty car with 22K like I got and I planned to add under 10K to that if I had a theoretical year and a half left on the warranty. That year and a half is up for me and I put a lot less than 10K on the car, nothing broke as expected for such a low millage and relatively young vehicle. The vehicle a year younger with warranty (not much more than a year) had more milage and were $5000 more, and to get another year or warranty it would be another $5000, it might have had less millage.
