After months of waiting wife was finally able to test drive a 2022 C300 that she ordered sight unseen and isn't thrilled about the car. The monthly lease payment is ridiculous and when I was asked I told her I'm not thrilled about it because she's not thrilled about the car. What's even crazier is that leases on cheaper models from other makes aren't significantly lower and she's not thrilled about them either. Today she's going to take a look at a G70 so hopefully she'll be happy with that at the price. This car is basically a place card for the next 2-3 years because we want to see how the market shakes out
Funny thing is I asked her to find something she liked and she picked out a CPO 2018 SLK which was only selling for $6k less than the 2022 C300. She's a smart woman but I'm like honey, you're looking at a 4 yr old car with 1 year warranty vs a new car with 4 yr warranty and you want to basically pay the same payment? Her reply was "Well I thought you wanted me to get something I liked".
