  Should I buy second-hand? Should I get the parallel import version? If so, which company should I go for? I am thinking of what kind of after sales service I can get if I go parallel import.

  I thought you can only get the C200 Kompressor at C&C?

  How about Brand new from C&C.
  
  Buying Mercedes should not be treated as a transaction. It should be an awesome and memorable experience throughout your ownership. Im sure only C&C can give that.

  Hahaha unfortunately not every one can afford the C&C Merc experience. Mitsubishi, maybe.

  the difference u get from PI & from C&C
  
  normally should be $10K to $20k, depends of which models & the grade!
  
  with the difference, there are some who use the difference to do up their ride!!

  You might be able to get the Artico seats and Classic trim from a PI, saving much more money.Personally, having Artico or MB-Tex is much more practical in our topical climate, saves on leather maintenance..
