Soon To Be Owner Has 2 Newbie Questions!

[Kalibre]

Hi,

I've just ordered a new C180 Avantegarge SE Sport Auto and have two basic questions I'd like to ask you nice chaps (and chap'ess').

The first is a technical one; I was wondering if the stock 'Audio 20' Cd player that it comes with can play MP3 Cd's or if it needs some kind of firmware upgrade?

The second was; How much do you think the first years service will cost me based on 10000pa mileage?

Any info you could give me would be great.

Thanks,

Kalibre

Congrats on the new motor
I don't believe the audio 20 pays mp3s. You can get an additional changer that can though.
At 10k you may even get away without a service altogether but the dealer can tell you exactly what the cost will be.
Half it for a specialist.

I've just been quoted £550 ballpark for a 2nd service on my e270 - ballpark as they don't know what it needs until they plug her in, so may be a bit better or a bit worse. Specialist quoted £170 best case up to worst case at £329. As the warranty is unnafected, guess where she's going!

Thanks for the info, I'm only planning on keeping the car for 2 years so hopefully I'll get away with a single service!

Thanks again.
