An 06 isn't the new C is it? I think the current C came out in 07... in which case I wouldn't. Quite like the new C - had one as a rental car for a fortnight a few months back and did a 2 day round trip from Bracknell to Edinburgh and back for work - I was quite impressed by it.

Depends on the true value of the Merc. If you're getting a good deal out of it then it could be an option as you could move it on again for a profit and get something that you'd prefer afterwards, eg. a new GTI, S3 etc etc

I dont know which merc your looking at, but basing it on the C180 Komp Classic, Glasses says the following....

P/X £8600 excellent, £7750 good, £6810 fair. Dealer retail £11200

Now if your Golf is a 2006 06 GT TDI, the figures are

p/x £9190 exc, £8280 good, £7370 fair. Dealer retail £11000

Therefore, although Im assuming a lot about the cars as I cant confirm the model, the Golf is worth £500 across the board more than the Merc come trade in time.

Hope this helps
