Hi, I thought I’d start off in here as i have only just joined after a recent Mercedes purchase.

I’m from Aberdeen, and this is my first Mercedes, if you can excuse a Vito V6 that I had a fleeting fling with last year. I have wanted one of these cars since 2013, however when I went to buy one back then I couldn’t afford a facelift, hated the pre FL interior so settled for an E90 M3

Fast forward to last month and I looked at various cars, with a somewhat limited budget, I found this one. A basic car, but it was a late one with low owners, FSH, Michelin tyres and priced the same as a 2009 locally. It was worth a look Despite being 520 miles away.

It checked out fine, it wasn’t perfect but its 5 years newer for the same money Than the one on my doorstep.

I’ve had the awful silver wheels refurbished to original finish, fitted two new rear Michelins, new OEM centre caps and given it a thorough clean throughout.

I have added some pictures below of the first of many visits to the petrol pump, As it sat when I got it, with my wife’s pride and joy, my son, and how it looks now.

I plan to refurbish the exhaust tips, and make it as nice as possible. No plans for any remaps, cat deletes etc, just keep it as it is

Look really nice :)
 
Congrats very nice however your first picture shows you filled up with 95ron fuel, your c63 filler cap will show you that 98ron is recommended, enjoy that fab m156!!
 
Very nice, my son has a 6.2 on a 14 plate too, a thing of beauty and great fun, enjoy ☺

Absolutely bang on, realised that’s once I’d filled it. Force of habit
 
When I collected my SLK from the MB dealers it had no petrol in so they filled it up with 95ron and said it would be fine :(. Ran perfectly well in comparison to my previous ML but now it lives on either Tesco Momentum 99ron or Shell V Power 98 Ron and is very happy, unlike my wallet but who cares.

My Golf GTI ran on 95, hence the faux pas. I had to fill again with 95 as the light was on in Newcastle and I was running out of options

It ran without fault on the trip home
