Hi - Can anyone recommend an honest indie in west London? Also, should I get an MB specialist to take a look at the car I am thinking of buying or will an AA inspection do? Any recommendations regarding someone willing to look :shock: under the bonnet etc and do it thoroughly for a reasonable fee would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Carola

Thanks - should I be getting these guys to look under the bonnet before I buy the car, or should I just go for an AA man? Oh, and do you know where I can find out when the car was built. All the very best, Carola

thanks, but strangely it did not have the build date, just the delivery date. Is that the same?

Thats as near as you will get, there are few MBs that have been stock piled, and most are special order, so near enough right

I'd have the car inspected by a Mercedes expert rather than by an AA man

brilliant - thanks. Any thoughts on who should look under the bonnet - they MB guys, or is the AA cheaper and for this seemingly basic, but important task just as good? Thanks and I promise that's my last question for the night. My husband is getting jealous lol (just kidding)

That's not true! All us MB newbies do. This is as close as I've ever come to internet dating, hee hee. Anyway, good night and thanks for your help. C
