Hi everyone.
I'm just about to buy (deposit paid) a 2010 E Class cabriolet, 33K miles.It's Mercedes Approved Used, from Mercedes Northampton.
I'm being offered service care, £36 a month, or £432 a year for 2 years. Covers 2 services.. It last had an A service, ? about 10 months ago but the A service is showing on Service Assist again. I plan to keep the car at least 5 or 6 years, taking it up to 100K +
I'm not sure how much difference a franchise service history is going to make when I eventually come to sell it - for servicing I could live with it, but it's when it needs other things at 70-80K like brake discs that it really bugs me.
Can anyone recommend a good independent in Northampton, in many ways I would rather develop a relationship with an indi than the main dealer over the long run.
I'd be interested to hear what you guys think?
