Was chatting to a mate about rough maintenance costs for my CLS55 since I bought it 2.5 years ago (Mar 10) with 9.5k miles on the clock.
1. new parktronic sensor on front by MB dealer, May 10: £170 (paid by warranty compay -- 6 months from supplying non MB dealer)
2. interim oil and oil fiter change, Dec 10: £100
3. D service at main dealer, June 11: £170 (I provided oil)
4. 2 new rear tyres, Aug 11: £500
5. interim oil and oil filter change, Jan 12: £100
6. 4 new tyres (old ones had seen 2 track days, and 2 heavy hoons around Scotland), Sept 12: £1000
7. E service at main dealer, Sept 12: £450 (I provided oil)
8. discs and pads changed all round, Sept 12: £350 (parts from ECP and MB dealer [rear discs]). Original discs and pads lasted about 31k miles, 2 track days and 2 heavy hoons around Scotland. Impressive.
Not that bad, is it?
