Hello ladies and gents,
Here is a little update of my 2 cars which I absolutely love.
w164 320-2008 :
Owned since June 2015. Mileage now : 106k. Issues: new turbo, 3 services, new ATF fluid, new glow plugs, few sets of wipers, 1 set of Nexen All weather (still have 6mm since nov 15), 1 Dyson hoover(blame my dog:grin: ), 3 rear bulbs, 1 full set of New from bulbs. Driven 41k miles.
w221 320-2009:
Owned since Feb 2016. Mileage now 96k. Issues: 2 services, new ATF(booked in next week), new sets of tyres, new all round HK speakers, new carpets, AC refilled, new timing belt/pulleys, few tiny bulbs. Brake discs/pads: Brembo all around(thanks Malcolm). Nothing else! Driven : 33k miles.
Insurance renewal for both : £42/month with 2 drivers.
The winner is w221! Best car I have ever had! Would never drive anything else! Honestly. My cousin drives a 740M 2015 Bi Turbo and all the time problems. The A8 2010 is the only car who 'may' come close to the S Class - quality wise, luxury and sportiness.
The S is simply pure luxury and quality, not a snob's car or something to show off.
I wonder one thing: Newest models are any better? I really like the w164 350 Grand Edition and I am so so tempted but my ML works fine.
Thanks very much for all the support and I apologies for not being around in the past few months. Been mad busy at work around UK/Europe/Middle East.
Great weekend
Ps. I will wash both of them today and smile :grin:
