    Eye opener for people who dream of owning luxury cars. People who create luxury car sales vlogs never show this side of story 😀. It’s one thing to buy to Elephant and another thing to feed it everyday.

    It's easy to get tempted by. Benz used price , especially by mercedes benz a 180 which easily. Comes around 9L min to 14L max 😂.. Remember... when you buy benz, always tell them for service first to see what's wrong with the car... Benz service is good and they openly say what's broken inside and outside... 😅

    I just laughed when you said the price of replacement battery. I own a Merc C200 Petrol. Gives a decent mileage of 10Kmpl. When my key fob batteries died, I enquired to the Merc and they said exactly 2000 + GST per remote. Then I searched in local market and bought Panasonic batteries that cost me 100Rs and the remote is working well since a year.

Only concern (user feedback) also I experienced during test drive GLA220d having slight jerk on low speed (< 35 kmph) due to DCT its ready to engage next gear however when we slow down it kicks down the gear and have a slight jerk/pullback.. This is also due to DCT tries to engage high gears (5th gear) at low speed due to efficiency... Any feedback on it? I am from Bangalore known for traffic so checking if this is a concern during daily. city drives.

    I own a Hyundai SantaFe and I stayed away from buying a used Mercedes only because my fear of high service costs but the used car dealer told me that any time I need servicing he would arrange for it from private owners for a very less price. I bought a used Santa Fe the flagship of Hyundai and I am astounded by its service ,maintenance and repair costs. The service cost of Hyundai SantaFe is anywhere up to Rs.18000/= and one drive shaft had cost me about Rs.40,000 including labour cost and the servicing is not a very professional one. One extra key had cost me Rs.15000 ,new tires 82,000/= ORVM cost 15000/= But the comfort of car is more or equal to Audi Q3 and much more than likes of Fortuner, Innova etc., in fact as such comparing is not good. These premium cars need high maintenance of Engine mounts, ABS sensors, drive shafts and any careless driving means you are paying through your nose. Spare parts will not be available immediately.

    If you have bought a preowned Merc, then you’re going about it all wrong.. 1. Insurance - just buy 3rd party. If you need to change spares, there are many places where you get parts which have come off accident cars which you can replace way cheaper. 2. Service - there are very competent service centers which give a very good service cost. 15000 - 25000 you can get it done annually. 3. Fuel cost - Those that have luxury cars also have other cars for daily running. These are mostly special occasion cars.

    I am really confused actually, one dealer here is selling a CLA220D for (13 lakhs) which has run about 30K kilometers, the car is probably 6 years old. The dealer says that this car has no fault in it but do you think that because of its age there's a chance of faults in the future? And also can I buy warranty packages for 2nd hand car? Currently, I drive a Suzuki Dzire since 2014, this is going to be a huge leap for me.
