Just did the A9, the big one! 1280 euro. Plus 2000 in needs done. The first 1000 gets done tomorrow, injectors pulled, cleaned, re-seating and transmission cooler replacement. Then April for the flex pipe and stabilizer links. And its normal. These parts get used up. Much I could do myself but they have good coffee and a beautiful accountant that I like and a high brow showroom to literally sniff around.
I got the e class 2014 coupe bluetec e350, I only drive it conservatively I’m trying to preserve its lifespan and hopefully won’t rack up too much cost if I only use it occasionally small trips. To be honest I just wanted a nice car, but in all honesty I still only use it for to A to B trips
These cars are meant to be driven. There is a reason you see them as taxis in Berlin. Looked after well, they can get over 1,000,000km on the clock. But having one and not driving it, that is what made me decide to sell it on. They are too nice to sit on a driveway!
@@FalertTheDim but if I drive it conservatively, won’t it last me longer? I got it high mileage 100k miles but I’m think if I drove it conservatively it will last me 3+ years ideally I want the car to last me
@@albertakinremi248 In theory yes, but if you look after it, it should last a very long time regardless of how much you drive it. They are very sturdily built cars. Regular servicing is key. 100k miles for these cars is quite low. I sold mine at 125k miles and it was giving no trouble at all.
@@FalertTheDim mine is a 2014 e350 bluetec, is it a good idea to get a warranty on this type of car at such mileage? I am thinking to try and stay safe in case of costly repairs 🤔 would getting a warranty make sense?
@@albertakinremi248 Yes, repairs can be expensive - especially from a main Mercedes-Benz dealer. Warranties can give you peace of mind, but ensure to get one that covers all aspects of the car, not just the engine / gearbox. They can be expensive too, but if the cost of repairs is weighing on your mind, well worth it. In my view, no point having a nice car if you are worried to drive it.
I have never seen one with the absolute base options. There is not one option on this car. I thought I had a decently base E350 AWD. I have about 10 options, which is near base, considering there is about 90 othet options. This car doesn't even have a 50 dollar/Euro option. Wow and it's a 200. It's in great condition for the milage. Most first year face-lifts are 2014. This better get damn amazing MPG. 0-60 in 10.2? Are you really doing an acceleration demonstration? ;) As a caveat...That Eco explanation is incorrect. That Eco button is for stop start in conditions that never occur. That button has nothing to do with the ECO/Sport button. You like to buy money pit cars. That Fiat os the worst built.
Just picked up a 2014 facelift E220 CDI estate, lovely car and I'm very pleased with it. Yes, it does make me smile when I get in the car.
I've got the e350 avantgarde with real leather. 302 hp 0 to 60 6 seconds odd. I grin like an idiot every time I get in it. Love it
Many beautiful Mercedes almost new for sale everywhere. The first maintenance bill scares many into trading down.
The bonnet carpet is sound proofing and anti vibration so it quietens the engine sound.
278567 miles so far same cam chain. same gearbox. E220 tdi estate suspension change next week.A/c died 150000 miles.
Great car !! Smile every time you look at it , except after you do the B service 🤣 the MPG is insanely good

5:39 - i cringed, the engines cold!
so parking break is manual? there is no automatic electronic breaks when put in 'p' or when engine is switched off?
There is a park gear. That is what I used mostly. It works great. I only used the parking brake on hills
this as a first car for 18 year old what do you guys think
A badass car for an 18 year old, no doubt. But if you don't maintain it well, expect big bills to keep it running.
Hi im thinking bou buy one of 2015 reg . Is there much hassle with the auto gear box and rust heard they nad for rust. Thanks
No issues with rust or gearbox on mine. Recommend looking in the service history for gearbox servicings. Best of luck!

@FalertTheDim That explains it well and detailed. Ah, the usual.
You are saying the obvious when owning a Mercedes.
