I did consider another C350 but an estate - but have decided not to lease again. It's a great way of getting a nice new motor for a lot less a month than a PCP deal but I have ordered a new Audi A4 2.0T Quattro Avant this time. Fancied a change from MB, didn't want a BM so plumped for an Audi...

Well in case anyone is interested Mercedes came by and 'inspected' my car before its return next week. I am glad to report they stated it is within the defines of 'wear and tear' and I do not have anything to pay. Even with some minor wheel kerbing and a damaged front seat they just said...

Sorry for the delay in replying...not yet. It goes back late September.

Cool. It sounds like MBFS are not as fussy as they used to be. Just be upfront and repair any major issues. Thanks for your help chaps.

The prices quoted on the site are actually less than I have been roughly quoted by firms near to where I live. Tempted just to give it a clean and hand it back. The damage is only minor while 1 dent would actually need a repair, so up to £90 for that repair. £55 to repair a curbed wheel, I was...

Perfect must of missed that PDF. Doesn't sound as bad as some of the horror stories online. I have a curbed wheel and 3 minor dents on the doors, all of which are on separate panels.

Thanks for the link. I was really after anyone's feedback on returning a car to MBFS. Are they still very piccy about what they charge for and do they still charge the earth for any repairs? Cheers

Hi guys Unbelievably my 2 year lease for my C350 is coming to an end. Man that has gone quick. I need to start thinking about returning it to MBFS. I know there has been some horror stories about MBFS return standards, has anyone returned a lease car recently and can offer any advice? I am...

I have a 61 plate C350 CDI saloon with the new 7g gearbox. Over the last 18 months I have averaged 37MPG. Mainly short journeys with the odd M-way thrown in. HTH.

Great thanks!

Found this guy mentioned in the forums Dent Devils - Technicians (Keith Allen). Seems he is not too far from my house - perfect. Anyone recommend a wheel repairer? Thanks

Hi guys I am returning my C350 in a few months and I need to sort out some minor 'Tesco' door bumps and a kerbed wheel. Can anyone recommend a mobile repairer or one in the Peterborough/Cambridge area? I seem to remember someone mentioning a company that specialises in lease car return...

I did on my C350. Its a little pointless and I prefer to be in control. Go into the menu and you can put it back into manual mode. DAB is one thing I wish I had spec'd. A few friends have it around the Peterborough/Cambridge area and say they rarely have a break up and rate it very highly. If...

selectcontracts.net gets my vote

Very good so far. I am 1 year into the lease now. Although all they really do is sort out the initial lease costs and delivery. Then its over to you for servicing etc. I guess they will be involved in the return of my 350 next September.

A few friends have DAB and I really like it. I didn't spec it and wished I had. Signal is fine around here (Peterborough area). Don't get me wrong I like the panoramic sunroof but I don't think it's really worth the extra over a normal one. I didn't try the COMAND system and just plumped for...

I have had my C350CDI 2011 since new (12 months old now) and average 36MPG. Great car my only views not related to yours: 1) Don't bother with the Backer SatNav - not very good. I use my tomtom and never turn on the Becker. 2) Don't bother with the panoramic sunroof - get a normal one if you...

This is a great thread I keep coming back to :) I have a 2011 C350CDI and while I love the torque and sheer speed of the thing I will be going back to a petrol when I change it next year. Like Gizze I cannot put it down into words, just having a petrol with a better sound track is more...

My C350 went back 5 times to fix a rattling seat belt fixture. They eventually replaced the entire seat belt at a cost of over £350 (so the dealer told me) and it cured the problem. I have to say Mercedes Peterborough didn't flinch when I kept bringing it back. They tried until they fixed it.

Who is that with?
