| Re: [scans] AMS: Mercedes C-Class BUYING ADVICE The list shows the costs for each car for a month. Example: C 180 K When you would drive 40.000 km a year, the C 180 would cost 672 € a month without depreciation and 1004 € with depreciation! Then you can compare these costs to the one of the C 220 CDI! As you can see, the C 220 only costs 586 € (954 € with depreciation) - so it would be cheaper (running costs) when you would buy a C 220 CDI, when you would drive more then 40.000 km a year!
