Stay up to date by tracking the KBB.com Fair Purchase Price.
If you think the price of German engineering is out of reach, think again. The 2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class costs about the same a nicely equipped Chrysler 300 or Nissan Maxima, plus when it comes time to move up the M-B ladder, the C-Class’ strong resale will help with the down payment.
If rear seat accommodations are an important part of your buying decision, the C-Class can’t match the legroom found in the Hyundai Genesis or Buick LaCrosse. Cost of ownership post-warranty is likely to be much pricier than with a simple family sedan such as the Honda Accord.
