No Mazdas or Peugeots for me.. And especially no Iriz. It drives and feels like the Myvi. And I'm seriously concerned how you seem to know how long my car will be out of commission.
Psst everybody knows. 1 year anniversary soon!

And, I know your pain.

And how do you expectme to cough up all the extra difference in cash? And who wants to buy my car la? I wanna sell it double the cost I bought it for.
Good luck. Be lucky to sell it off at what you bought it for.

I'd be happy with a CLA45 too. End of the day the engine is still something special.
Btw just found out the price of new C43 and CLA45 are actually the same! Shows that the C43 is not really 100% AMG, isn't it?

Cannot say not AMG. Maybe can call it the production line AMG. Not the one man one engine. But if same price, hard to say, I might buy a C43 If I was paying.

Well the "one man, one engine" motto has been the uniqueness and pride of being an AMG, unless later AMG wants to move on from that and start being more like the rest which is a pity. Anyway I'm pretty happy already if I can someday become an owner of this proud brand even though only thru the cheapest A45. Rumor is that later AMG will split the A45 into 2 A class models, one cheaper entry level with 300HP and another with over 400HP. C43 I won't touch coz of the stupid Malaysia road tax.

In Indonesia, road tax is determined by a number of factors such as car type, CKD or CBU, and market value along with engine size, so it's much more fair than here.

What I can say is, don't be clouded by the small amount of price drop and get yourself into a larger long term debt with bank or financial institutions. Think and consider carefully before making any purchase.

If you can afford it, and need a car as a means of transportation, there really is no better time to buy.

Now is the best time.

If it is like the situation that you mentioned, yes indeed now is the best time to buy a car.

I've heard some people getting itchy to buy a car or even asking people around them to buy a car just because of this price drop thing. Bad idea if one falls for it despite not really needing a new car.
