Hi guys, take it easy , newboy on first MB ownership.
Well tomorrow I should collect my first ever MB. C180 Elegance ( power yawn!) P reg with 67 on the clock under the approved scheme.
She is in silver/black cloth with both air and sunroof plus rear fold seat option. I have been looking for around a month or so to get out of a bad Lexus.
All I can say , not knowing much about them is the ride in the C class is the best I have come across for the money, size etc... in fact it even rides better than a Lexus how that !
I spose I paid over the odds for buying from Mercedes direct but at least the guarantee plus service from the dealer so far (yes even before collecting it) have been great.
They are doing the 72 service, four new tyres, four new wheel trim, overmats, minor touch up on the bumper corners plus full prep so I am really looking forward to a casual ride home.
The only downer is it's a four speed auto and was really after a 5 sp one but the condition and history of this car got me!
That's my first question really , the difference between the 4/5 sp boxes. I beleive neither have a lock up top direct drive so assume the 5 sp is just another ratio in there instead of four ?
Cheers for now
Rich
