Thanks

I am facing the same dilemma about whether to wait for the new C class or buy something else now?

Can you kindly share the details of the deal you got for the GLC petrol? Thanks in advance.

MB is out of stock of C-Class and are waiting for the new one to launch in Q1 next year. They don't seem to be aware of the launch date or the version that will come to India, prices expected to touch around 65+ as per the SA

Trying to decide between the 3 Series and the C-class. The new C looks awesome in the videos, don't know how it will drive though as compared to the 3 series.
Anyone have additional information on this?

Was in the same boat, went for the 330Li Msport instead. With the current demand-supply mismatch and low discounts, I don’t see a similar spec C class coming below 65-66 on road. Probably will be more than that and whether they give the GLC coupe 250+ bhp petrol or existing 200 bhp petrol seems to be seen.

Hi Dash,

There wasn't much of a discount on the list price as Mercedes changed the sales model last month and dealers were trying to get their stocks off the floor.

Cheers

Thanks for the update. I am getting the same reply from most places, sales are through the roof and there are negligible discounts on offer by BMW/Mercedes.

BMW dealers are offering 2-3 lakh discount on the 3 series, stocks are limited i believe.
