The mercedes models in your bucket list is basically a Renault clone.. good luck!

Hi TS, where are you servicing your Toyota at the moment?

if you are serving at outside of the service centre, why don't you ask your trusted mechanic or just visit some of the workshop near your place where you see Benz being serviced and ask the owners

good luck to you, i also always wanted a Benz or BMW but kids come first.

so just using H brand only

won't be less than 4 digits per service. come from an ex C250 owner.

On top of RM costs, there is also time costs..
If the Merc happens to have no spareparts, you will have to wait for weeks to months..

The most 2 weeks. Usually if market no stock authorize spare part shop can special order from German or Singapore. If pay cash up front, some can reach within 1 week. A lot of time drag is either mechanic delay payment, still searching for cheaper options or owner cheapskate. Even if really new dont have stock, ebay also got plenty of parts seller from new to used and their shipment also fast (also around 2 weeks get)

Overall cost confirm is more expensive compare to Toyota, but Toyota Harrier if export AP model also need to wait if the part is rare and still need to direct purchase from Japan also.

Normal service from 585

my experience for normal service  rm2000 annually  is definitely not enough. mercs replacement of parts run on schedule one.  I experienced before even a speed sensor can lead to the car computer to shut the car down. therefore if any indicator lights appear , you die die need to replace the parts. unlike jap car, you
can delay replacing  them.

Outside authorized SC, normal schedule service abt 500-600 as the synthetic oil required edi more than 4L.
but most of the sensors very on time spoilt lol
eg wheel sensor will make the whole car limp
Even a small bulb need replacement , there'll be warning light

From my past experience, service at outside
W205 C200
engine oil maintenance(7,000km) - RM500 to 700
gearbox(30,000km): RM2k to 3k
minor spare part: minimum 1.5k above
major spare part: 5k above

Quite reliable but if spare part fail, be ready.
Once you own conti car, you sure will gain knowledge about car.

Toyota = boring to drive but no headache. Not so particular about engine oil quality. Feed Mizu oil can dy.

but driving a merc is a total different experience. suggest min a C klass and above to have a better experience. just my two cents.

The below advise is based on my experience, regrets, positivity and what I think could have been done better.

1. Don't buy CKD. BUY THE ONES WHICH ARE CBU GERMANY.
2. MB Malaysia will stop using HSS and CCB as distributors next 2026, MBM will start selling these vehicles directly. Something to consider if you want to hold anyone responsible.
3. Quality of built is not like before. All new cars have quality issues, from non functional wipers due to some electronics board to faulty airbags which they have recalled in.
4. If there is a recall, it is your duty to check if your vehicle is effected. MBM won't give a sh*t to inform you.
5. Service prices are not worth what you pay. My niece has an EQC, full EV and she recently paid MYR 1,800 in all for a Service A. So MBM has two types of service, service A and Service B. Ironically, for EV also, they said they had to change oil. Weird..
