Literally just booked in with them before your post. They quoted £499 for this A service because of the ATF change (3 years) - quite a big job supposedly that takes 3 hours (consistent with what other dealers have said). Worth me sourcing oil myself to avoid markup? - is there a big price...

That's right, I knew I had got myself comfortable on that at least - cheers. Thanks BD. Now just gotta find a dealer that isn't London -they got a monopoly haven't they!

Useful cheers, I was just trying to work that out myself when you posted - the stratford one appears the same - MB UK. Yeah I bought from an inchape dealer MB warrington. Will try. To locate nearest franchised dealer - could be Bromley or Maidstone.....

Yeah that's what I thought so gonna be about finding best priced dealer about. The Loughton guy helpfully told me not to bother ringing other MB dealers in the area as they own them all and pricing is the same!

Yeah has been MB serviced from new per service book. Last service was c12 months ago done by dealer I bought from. Can't recall exactly but believe the ATF needs doing at 20,000 right? Hence why is getting captured by this service. Loughton did tell me but can't recall - will check again in...

Hi - I have an A service notification up on the dash. Its an C63 08 plate done 20k miles. Looking at ATF being done as well from what I can tell from service intervals. I bought it from main dealer up north but live in London so its my first time into servicing and I have a few questions...

yeah i will get to the bottom of it a little more when i go up there to see them although they have told me it hasn't been tracked at all. a used car is a used car, i'm not particularly precious to be honest, i just want full spec in a decent condition that has been serviced as required etc...

Ah come on, lets not make out this is a science please i've been to see several cars over the last 3 months, lost some of them and passed up on some of them, i've looked a prices most days as cars have come and gone (most cars haven't, they've com.......and stayed because they are badly...

They dropped the price by £3k 2 weeks ago (it was previously advertised at £42,990 i think it was).....they're looking to shift it by the end of their half year so were fairly adamant on a completion by 30 September......so the screen price has already come down if you like - i saw it happen...

Don't get me wrong i was genuinely interested in knowing if you knew of better deals around as from my watching of the pricing I saw £39,995 as a solid price for a 2008 car with low miles, fully loaded and with PP

Its not PPP its PP (which has the LSD) re tyres see above!

tyre damage cover - yeah not gonna turn it down given its thrown in on the finance deal i dunno about worthless, i live in central london and had 2 punctures on my TVR and 1 on my CSL in the last 2/3 years - given you generally have to replace both sides if you get a puncture its ends up a...

£10k down, balloon £13k, 4 years i'm a short-termist before you start ;) although i just came out of an M3 CSL at £27k that I bought for £33k 4 years ago which was a bit of a result to be honest...

. i never pay much attention to these one dimensional car valuation tools I've monitored the prices of these things for the last 3 months during which time i have lost two cars due to them selling so fast (when they are priced right) If you want to show me where I can buy a 2008 c63 PP...

Had that LSD oil on my list to check through. does the drivers bolster always get worn? nothing one can do about it i am guessing??

Still working that through. Won't be MB finance thats for sure as they couldnt get close Oracle coming in at £525 a month including 4 year RTI cover and 2 year tyre cover Small broker coming in at £510 without RTI or tyres Just waiting to see if MB finance guy can do something with his...

;) exactly....hence why i moved so fast with the deposit just want to see what i can get in there before I hit the red button

2008 basically full spec with performance pack, 14,000 miles £39,995

Yep - was a fully refundable deposit paid over the phone - I was on holiday at the time, knew nothing about the car but didnt want someone else coming in to take it. Hence the deal isn't done, I have only just found out the full details in the last few days (deposit given 10 days ago)...

the servicing is definitely on my agenda its a C63 and i've been tracking prices for 3 months on these cars. Theres only ever 40-50 in the country available and the stock turnover on them is pretty short. The dealer dropped the price by £3k and it was the cheapest c63 in the country by...
