Identifying a MB TDCI powershift model

[Wazza]

Hello all,

I have found this forum very informative while researching my next car, which is likely to be a diesel titanium. Many thanks to those posters.

I have started making calls to a couple of car yards to enquire about the MB titanium tdci powershift, which has caused a little confusion. One yard told me that there is no such release, and that I must be referring to the MC model due out later in the year. Another that I went to showed me a zetec tdci powershift model for comparison.

This raises the question, how is one to identify the powershift in a MB? Media on the ford website shows powershift written on the stick itself, can anyone confirm that this is true? The one I was shown had no such markings.

I would have a hard time to make a purchase based on the promise from a sales person alone that it contains the new transmissionm, after some of the information I am receiving.

I am likely to wait for the MC model, but wanted to see if I could get the price down on one of these late model MBs.

Thanks in advance.
