Hey guys ... first post here ...... sooo after drooling over R230 for as long as I can remember, finally did an impulse buy .......... stupid as it may sound (it actually does sound stupid when I say it out loud!) .... I ended up buying the car without even physically seeing it ... saw the car advert on eBay...called the guy .. he sounded genuine ... agreed on the price based on the pictures and the description which the guy gave and transferred the money ........... was bit disappointed when I picked it up as the pictures were from few years ago and interior wasn't as great as I would have imagined and shown in the picture .. + remote doesn't work either (RF) ..IR works so use that to open the door.............. couldnt show my disappointment there as wife was with me and well! she would make fun of me for the rest of my life for buying something like this without even seeing or test driving it first................. However, I account the disappointment to age of car - 16-17 years !!! +been using newer models soo maybe have forgotten how things were in cars back when I had a full set of hair on my head!!
long story short ............... I love the car ...puts a smile on my face every time I drive it and I have been using it daily..... externally the car looks stunning .... I am now looking for someone to restore the interior ..... the car was serviced by merc till around 80k..but last service was done by the seller.........or so he says...sooo now i want to get it serviced...it has done 90k .... I was thinking of going to some indie garage for it...
The list of service items I want to replace is
what else shall i replace? transmission oil ? coolant ? timing belt ?
I found this site BookMyGarage - Compare & Save With Instant MOT & Service Deal , if you check their major service, its lots of check this check that rather than replacement? So bit confuse!!
so is it worth going for this major service or getting the service items replaced would be better!
Thanks in advance
