Hey up chaps!
I'm very close to buying my first mercedes and as previously I have dived into all car purchases with minimal research and swayed by my heart not my head, I thought it best to get some advice from the experts first (thats you guys!).
I'm looking at the current C-Class sport 58reg or newer (what w no. is that?) and originally wanted a c220cdi sport auto, but have been offered a fairly good deal on a C200K sport, so first question:
Has any one got a C200K auto and what are the fuel costs like - is the diesel worth the 4k premium - I do 20,000k plus a year but work pay for fuel for business.
And another...
How much on average are the A and B services?
I'm trading-in a 58 plate civic type-r GT which I love and is so much fun but is doing my head in day to day due to the ride, the fact it goads you round to 8500rpm in every gear and the build quality is appalling!
Oh and at 25 am I too young for a merc? Or has mercs quest to make them appeal to the younger buyer worked - lol - just don't want a ubiquitous 3 series of Audi A4/passat/exeo/octavia (god knows what's really under the A4).
Final thing - are there any common niggles/irritations with the current C I should know about. Type-R has so so so many I've given up!
Any advice at all would be most appreciated! Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Dave
