- E320 CDI Sport Estate
Well now £894 lighter, but not as bad as it sounds. Car 55 plate E320 CDI Sport failed on 3 tyres. I just bought the car 3 weeks ago and haggled on the price it was an Autotrader private sale. Shocked that they were illegal. Dealer supplied Continentals 2 fronts 245 40 18 for £187 each and 1 back 265 35 18 for £194. I am not sure if this is expensive but I needed to get the car back today. MOT was £40 and service £175.
As tyres are consumables I would have to spent money on these at some point. No mechanical failures so I think maybe this is a good result. Dealer picked up the car from my work place in Edinburgh and dropped it back. They are based in Grangemouth about 30 miles west of where I work. They valeted the car nicely and left a nice tin of sweeties in the car. A good experience with John Weir of Grangemouth. Is this typical, any thoughts?
