costs

I'm very tempted to buy what seems like a very nice W210 Elegance Estate, registered June 2002. Its a one owner car, FMBSH, 7 seats, cloth interior, 6CD, etc, done about 50K miles and has the 2.6 V6 petrol engine (I'm still confused as to why its called a 240 and yet has the 2.6 engine)...

Any idea what an A & B service cost for a C220 cdi? And what happens to the computer when the mileage reaches the countdown, does it show as a malfunction?

Only consider this if not a cat lover.

Have a w124 e220 1994, car has done 85,000 miles and is due a service in August. Going through an independant MB specialist any ideas of the likely cost? Cheers, C

My 320cdi is showing that it's due for a C service in 1000 miles that will be around 21500. I've had the car from new and it's first service was a "b" service at around 13,000. At no time did it ever show an A service. That cost around £240. What should I expect to pay for a "c"service. My...

http://www.sky.com/skynews/xml/article/0,,40000-214185,00.html Would this reduction in service costs really mean you'd switch back from using an independant? Looking at what I pay now, I save WAY more than 10% of the stealership costs.

Just curious. What are the running costs of a 500 SEC ? http://www.classic-auctions.com/detailb.php?&sal_salno=70C&car_carno=14205&sal_type=CAR

Here's my Christmas Present.... What do you recon the damage is? (I already know!! )

Took my ML in for brake pad replacement recently. MB dealership charged £98 per hour labour (plus VAT) plus cost of pads. Rear pads and labour came to £250. ML's wear pads out in about 8,000 miles and thats with careful driving. Since then I've found that Haynes in Worthing would do the same...

Just been quoted £20 to fit and balance two rear tyres for the runabout Civic by Honda dealer. Mytyres.co.uk can supply dunlop sp300 or bridgestone 391 for 40 quid per tyre. There is a dealer they list who fits/balances up 20 inch tyres for £5 per tyre inc. disposes of old tyre for 1.00 and...

It was only the other week, I noticed enough road changes to look and see if there was an update for my Panasonic Sat Nav. Currently I have a 2003 DVD (Navteq). There wasn't one, but then today, I was pleased to get a letter from them saying the 2004 DVD was out. One issue. It's...

Can anyone tell me if the UK dealerships are suposed to sell spare parts at the same price. When I phone up a number of dealers to get a price for a part they all quoted wildly different prices. Can anyone recomend the cheapest place to buy official MB spares from. Cheers

Hi, As a new mercedes owner I've heard rumours of expensie service costs. (although my last car was a hyundai coupe and that was'nt cheap to service and the dealers were crap!). Anybody got any rough costs for A and B services ? (Mines got 43000 miles, appears to have had 2 A and 1 B...
