Mic Man Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Brisco, I thought you had a brand new Golf? Also, Eskay- £1000 was literally the cheapest I could find, & i looked everywhere. Even if i was 25, the insurance still would have been £800. I have no points either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car mechs, I'm looking at 05 Merc c220/c200 coupe, about 7 bags to spend, what should I look out for when buying it? Bro. forget the Mercs I had one last year. I had the C180 on a 54 plate. the petrol was a damn joke. 35miles for ten quid. SERVICING cost me 250 just for a damn Service B the Service A will cost double/triple that Parts are just a ripoff twice as expensive as honda/vw/audi You're buying the badge for the price you can a nicer, cheaper to run faster car.

SoCo KinG Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Tbh if you cant afford a brand new merc then you shouldn't get a merc at all because the parts/services/fuel comsumption etc etc are priced for people who can afford brand new 1s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCo KinG Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Tbh if you cant afford a brand new merc then you shouldn't get a merc at all Maybe went abit too far there but if you want to take pride in your car getting it serviced by merc and having no expense spared it's going to hurt you unless you have a very decent income.. My old college lecturer used to work for merc and he said the charges he'd have to give people for the simplest jobs were ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskay Jones Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 I paid 170 for a Oil + Air filter on my first mercedes 2 years ago. It was because of that rip-off i got clued up on doing everything mechnically for myself. smfh@paying 170 for a 30 quid job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old college lecturer used to work for merc and he said the charges he'd have to give people for the simplest jobs were ridiculous Yeah that's very true. I guess it boils down to whether you want to service yourself, or preserve resale value by getting it stamped. I replaced the air filter in the BM for 13 quid myself. 5 Minute job, easy as piss. BMW quoted 75 quid to do it. It's disgraceful but a little DIY and it's much more affordable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCo KinG Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 My old college lecturer told me 1 time he had to charge £150 for an oil change because that was the hourly rate (eventho it took minutes) i nearly left the room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskay Jones Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 His right though. The Mercedes dealership in Chiswick charge £148 for a Oil + Filter change because thats the hourly rate. It's a joke. Mercedes expenses take the piss. Honda > Mercedes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCo KinG Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Oil change taking minutes? That doesn't sound right you round it up to the next hour 59 mins = 1 hour 10 mins = 1 hour 1.2 hours = 2 hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost of not havin it done and have a f*cked engine is much worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
