Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / September 20062006 or 2007 Diesel E 325? Or VW Passat Diesel?
Is it worth to wait for the 2007 model, around $56 K MSRP vs. a 2006 $50 K discounted model? Neither is yet OK in CA. and in 3 or 4 other states and a few more HP and Blue Tooth tel. are not worth $5K, I guess. Does anybody have a recent diesel and can provide feedback, also re MPG? Or is the VW Passat Diesel a better choice for much less money? >Is it worth to wait for the 2007 model, around $56 K MSRP vs. a 2006 $50 K >discounted model?

If you are going to buy, then you can always make a deal... If the dealer not willing to discount, just walk to another one. Carsdirect.com is very straightforward. You always get discount. The choice here is really between an '06 leftover model vs. a new and updated '07 model. That the '06 has a straight six diesel and the '07 a V-6 diesel is secondary to the economics of "new model" vs. "leftover model". I'd buy the '07 V-6 in an instant but I can't as I live in California where it's not yet sold. Urea exhaust treatment eliminates NOx and may eventually qualify it. Why do you suppose M-B designed a new diesel, not just for fun, it's a better power unit and will also be offered in the '07 Jeep Grand Cheroke as well. In Europe the V-6 diesel is offered in the E and S class models. Beyond the diesel engine, the '07 E class model has some improvements over the '06 that one should also consider. Thanks for the update re MB 2007. I now just wished they (MB) would offer the diesel in 4 cyl. like most Europeans drive, at speeds we can only dream of. Especially when we have such a miserable oil crisis. Yet MB pushes onto the US market only their 6 cyl. diesels! > The choice here is really between an '06 leftover model vs. a new and > updated '07 model.

NOW --- why not offer these great 4 cyl. cars here in the US? >> > In Europe the V-6 diesel is offered in the E and S class models. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Juergen |
