Like the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, but figure it looks just a bit dull at the price point you can afford? How about this then? The Mercedes-Benz C 200 sedan is currently available for an on-the-road price of $72,900, fitted with the Edition C package. That’s an option pack that normally retails at $7692 and features AMG styling cues with Diamond Grille, metallic paint and 19-inch AMG alloy wheels in a five-spoke design.
On top of that, the Edition C package also includes Active Distance Assist Distronic and a panoramic sunroof. The C 200 sedan normally sells for $66,300 before tacking on the stamp duty, registration and compulsory third-party insurance, but buyers can pick up this car for $72,900, drive-away.
If you are at the other end of the social spectrum and happen to be looking for a workhorse, the Ford Ranger XLT 3.2-litre 4X4 dual-cab ute represents really good value at the moment, with the manufacturer’s retail list price of $59,440 now undercut by Ford’s limited-time drive-away price of $55,990. With an offer like that you’re not only saving the on-road costs, but Ford has discounted the price by $3450 as well.
Families in the market for a medium SUV should check out the deal going on the Nissan X-TRAIL ST 4WD. Normally selling for a manufacturer’s retail list price of $34,040, this variant of the X-TRAIL can be purchased, on the road, for $32,990. So that’s a saving of $1050, not to mention the stamp duty and first year’s registration and compulsory third-party insurance Nissan will pay for you. And lastly, Nissan is also offering buyers a special finance deal.
