2007 Mercedes-Benz C280 Avantgarde 4MATIC Road Test

Down to one
Actually, there are still three version of the C-Class available for 2007: C230, C280 and C350. Should you be interested in the first or the last, you will have to make do with what the dealer has to offer. My tester, a C280 Avantgarde 4MATIC and its non-AWD version are still available. The all-new 2008 C-Class will be arriving in showrooms by the end of August of this year. With the W203's few shortcomings addressed, the new W204 is a formidable offering.

Our tester retailed for $46,100.

The C280 C-Class sedan's price range is from $43,500 to $46,100. The C230 and 350 do not have any advertised retail prices on Mercedes-Benz' Canadian website however they range from $38,400 to $53,600.
