simple! U want drive premium car, you pay premium! Normal ah kow, mat rock workshop would charge about 20-30%less than franchise workshop! The labour charge at franchise is a killer. If your ride is still under warranty, you would have no choice but to LPPL let the franchise slaughter you kao kao! Hope this would paint a little picture about owning a MB!

Just got back from the launch of the c class at nz wheel. I must say the w205 is really superb!everything is so atas inside! The downside is c250 now comes only in elegance trim instead of the advant garde! Think the marketing strategy for the 250 is to targeting those s class wannabe! It's really the smaller version of the s!

Now it's getter dearer to maintain a c class. The w205 now come with run flat tyres for both versions!

Be it black or walnut, I just can't accept the look of those wood trim! I prefer those alloy trim on my current ride! Looks sportier! Was told the Ckd c250 can opt for advant garde or AMG trim" . I also felt that the boot space of my 204 is roomier than 205. Maybe it's because the rear seat leg room is slightly longer than the 204.

Umbrella , T-shirt, nicer car plate, carpet,key chain etc. But all these are useless stuff la....ask more more discount!

Then don't buy from her lor. So many sa around ma! Ask her to fly kite la. The tint voucher for what! As far as I understand, the voucher is from MBM and don't know what brand of tint . I have never heard before! Meaning this female sa very don't know how to do sales Lor! I got a Mercedes driving course FOC from my dealer when I bought my car! My sa also thrown in a set of nice floor mat for my car. Not those cut piece from ah Beng accessories shop type! This of course not buying from see &see!

Anyone experienced stinky aircond? My ride is only two years old and the air cond air stinky Liao! Read from the SG Merc forum that this is quite common for c class.

Double post!

Personal opinion. The A class looks much better than the cla! Cla rear damn ugly! Sonata looks alike! Furthermore, A250 is a more powderful car than the cla.

See & see is worst! All SA got 'dog's eyes'! Lol!

Generally are ok except see & see! LCLY!

Err....don't get me wrong! Don't think Merc owners are concerned on the dep ! The moment you drive out of the showroom is like 15to20% gone!

1. Steering wheel is different. AV looks sporty! No wood trim on the AV ! Rim is different bet the two! The front grille is the sporty type with MB logo in the middle and not the uncle type with MB emblem on top!

2. Car Sway to the left issue( common ). Air cond filter tend to get smelly after two years. Other than that no common known issues!

3. Think it's exp lor! One year car should be the one after huge discount. New car around rm 242k. After used one year still want to sell so high price ah. Should be below 200k.

1. Don't think so unless it's the c250.

2. If from see &see then they should give u 4 yrs warranty mah? All pre-owned for dealers get 4 yrs warranty . That's why I don't like see &see. I think they are short changing u lor. 242 k is not the list price but the discounted price to clear stock as MBM try to clear before the launch of the w205! Best is you can pressed the price down further lor since w205 is out Liao!

I opinion that to own a c 200, min nett pay should be around 12k per month.Buying a car is easy but maintaining them is not that easy"

Now banks grant loan according to your total liabilities! If your nett liabilities is 70 or 80% of your nett income , they will decline yr app as per BNM 's directives "

dude! Why don't y read this page from beginning till end? If u use the search function and I am sure it will pops up numerous threads on the discussion to your query!

Not forgetting a piece of normal aircond filter cost 1.2k to replace at authorized dealer . But yes...it's a joy to drive! Also...u get lots of 'privileges ' by driving the 3 pointed stars.

Not much! Hey...W204 also have squeaky suspensions over rough patch of road. Dash board also got rattling sound. Worst is sway to the left issue on most 204. Think come jan you can easily squeeze another 10 k from the dealer for 2014 models.
Lol....those bangla security guards at most hotels or rest let have the best parking spot most of the time Ler . I am not talking about valet parking. I see most of those jap or local make were asked to park basement or far away. Maybe I am lucky gua!

Bump this thread......so quiet!

Totally agreed as my dad owned a124 before. Now my w204 a bit lite proton. Sounds everywhere! Only 36k in mileage and my gear box mounting has broken and need to be replaced! Thank god I am with 4 years warranty!
