Advice - Service Plan

[markjay]

... will still sell better and be more cost effective than overpriced full dealer service history on a 5 or 6 year old motor...

Agreed, when the service is overpriced.

But under the MB Service Care Plan the cost per service is in most cases actually less than what a specialist would charge (it was definitely cheaper with the 20% discount that is bo longer available).

That said, being cheaper than a specialist isn't the only prerequisite... you also need to find a good dealer. I am very happy with MB Brooklands (even though they are an hour drive away from me) which wasn't the case with the previous dealer I was using (and who were closer). So if the only dealer in your area is cr@p, then understandably the lower price of the MB Service Care Plan might not be enough to sway you.

Better than the right colour, sensible mileage, service records (receipts) and we’ll kept condition with a full main dealer service history?

Yes of course, should get you £400 more as a trade in.
