How is the maintenance cost for W211 E200k?

burp. It's totally different from what my friend told me. My friend who own a polo sedan and he told me that the ride quality is real. I drive before his car, feel real great.

But sometimes, it depend on the preference. Although it's drop but still people are purchasing especially during this raya promotion. Now many vw car on the road. 

Hi All,

I hope this would be a good & fair forum for me to inquire about purchasing a merc.

My brother currently has a 2nd hand W210 and is now thinking of a possible upgrade. Problem is he is a little fickle minded. So i am trying to help him out with the experts from here.

His first thought is to get s W221 within the budget of 150K which hopefully can come with as many bells & whistle as it can like the media & sound system as well as the built in phone. So anyone know a good location to get 1 from? Also what should be the key things to look for to help ensure its a good buy. its been a lot of work trying to navigate around so much info related to this car yet not find the right answers

The 2nd option my brother is toying with is to maybe get 2 cars - a W220 & W211.

From what i have been reading (and i could be wrong) seems like the W220's airmatic is more of an issue as many ask questions on replacing it. Is it true that in the W220 this is a key pain point? Also how about the electronics?

I also noticed there does not seem to be any S280L. Was the LWB only with the 320?

On the W211 - what would be the key things to look out for? Btw the cabin space is smaller then the W210 right? or is it just me feeling so?

Really hope to get some good insights from the sifus here.

W211 vs w210

I all,

I am looking to upgrade from the current 1997 W210 to a W211. Would like to ask what are the things i should look out for when doing this change

I am looking for the 2007 model and above since apparently from this year onward the mechanical & electrical issues were resolved.

Also does the W211 provide a much better mileage compared to the W210 or is it very minor?

My focus is towards the E200 range simply because its more economical to maintain plus the insurance & road tax is way lower  but i am keeping an open mind towards the other ranges as well just in case it as better offerings.

Hoping to get some good tips.

Thanks Ayamxxx for that input

btw..whats NA engine?

so i hope the 2007 build onwards would be better right? one of the reason why i rather get the year 2007 model onwards

almost 4 weeks already in workshop. Waiting for parts from germany.

I have a friend looking for navigation update to add Malaysia map. The unit is with UK map. It has SD card slot. Where can get it updated in Penang?

Lemon unit? Hmm.. Wondering wats taking them so long?

Imagine the e250 is due for servicing and u still haven't received your car. Then u bring the e250 for servicing I wonder how the SC customer service officer's face looks like when he understands your situation, lol..

But i doubt u will encounter this kind of situation. They probably switch you another car.

Just got the car back this morning since July? hahahaha with the E250 clocking at more than 8000km (got the car @1k) . They are supposed to deliver the car last Saturday but when they were checking the car they found out the CD player is stucked. So they need to replace the whole thing on Monday and deliver it today. Good thing about their repair is they pick up n send it back @ home. Got extra 2 years warranty and free service 

Hi, when I took my GLC, my driver side wiper like very tight. They change to a new pair for me during 1st service. Now lagi worse, both side also tight and make some noise. Can we go outside and change to other brand wiper? I think outside shop can do a better job. Hahahaha

car no warranty anymore? within warranty can change brake pad at outside?

My aircond has a distinct smell upon startup. Any idea how to fix? Maybe the ac needs servicing too. Recommend any workshop in kl area?

Dear All sifus,

I am interested on a W204 C200 AMG Grand Edition (last batch in 2014). Asking price RM110K otr. Mileage 33,000 km. Would like to know what is the maintenance cost for servicing and replacement of common fair wear and tear parts? Is this model reliable? For this AMG grand edition with 33,000km mileage, is the price reasonable?

Thank you in advance for your help 

I am from Klang Valley. Any recommendation?

Thanks in advance bro.

which forum? is it mybenz?

Pre-owned= second hand, pre-registered= new car but technically is a used car. So you need to differentiate. If you are worried about the maintenance of these conti, suggest that you shy away . That's why I drive myvi!

I drive E212 Edition E model. After the warranty is over, I may wish to service my car outside by a competent workshop specialises in Mercs.  What is the name of this Benz workshop in Kajang and the address?  Thank you.

hi guys, will be getting my A35 (still choosing whether to go with C&C or Hapseng)

Both offered me free tint - C&C = Premium Guard, HS = Wingard

Is either of these good? i've been using 3M crystalline so far
