Check out part 2 (4th year end update) at • Cost of owning a Merce...
How much does it cost to own a BMW, Audi, Mercedes car in India beyond the purchase cost? I share my experience of owning a Mercedes GLA 200 Petrol and the costs that come with the ownership around servicing, insurance, repair, fuel, etc.

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... 😅
Being an ex GLA owner my self I can relate to each and every point... totally on point.

After that GLA did you go for any German luxury car? I mean since you know this is it worthy to keep buying a luxury car?
Thanks for the details that you have covered. Really useful! Top videos appearing in the search results doesn't come near to the intricate details covered here.

Thanks a lot for this video. I was planning to buy a luxury car. But after watching this video, I am happy with buying Creta :)
Sunday, 26 December 2021:- Genuine thanks for making such a good video! Trust me it has been a great great help for me knowing all this stuff.
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.
Just what i was looking for! Thank you
A very detailed video, I LIKED IT. KEEP IT UP
Thank you, this was very informative.
Thank you brother:) Really appreciate your time and this video
Thanks for this eye opening video. You saved my 30 lacs. I will go for xuv700 now. Not because it’s maintainance is expensive but I realised that i cnt afford 1.5-2 lacs plus fuel cost every year.

Is fuel cost really that big of a difference? He claimed 9kmpl real world mileage, while most mid-size SUVs give mileage in the range of 10-13 kmpl.

Do you recommend a Benz for first time car buyer in India? I am looking at a used A180
How about any sensor failure Does warranty also cover for electrical failures What’s max duration we can extend the warranty post standard 3 years

If you buy a used car from these brands, the costs of upkeep are similar to Italian superbikes purchased brand new. That was unexpected but I am quite happy to know

My target for next summer is to buy GLA 220d 4matic
Quiet informative...who dreams to 🤕 own these cars
Excellent and Detailed review. I am considering BMW X1 (3rd Gen Diesel MSport) or GLA 220d. 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.
Nice video👍🏼
If you can't buy it twice, then you can't afford it...........
1.5 1.8 lakh per year roughly - insurance /Tyres / service
Thanks for saving my life.
Very nicely and concisely told reality.Appreciate it!
thanks for sharing.

Bahot hi badhiya video
Very informative for prospective buyers of luxury cars 🚗- I was one but will surely give now a second ( or maybe third too) thought 😀
A big eye opener !!! I too was planning to buy a Preowned gla 200 but looking at the recurring expenses, it’s not worth owning this car….
Thanks, Nice explanation- so when buying a Merc, i should get the best insurance and service package and extended warranty
What about the car on lease ?
Maruti, Hyundai, and few other cars’ service do not cost anywhere near 25K. Yes with luxury cars, the annual maintenance will be higher but that’s these are owned by those who can afford.
Sir should i buy 2004 mercedes c200 kompressor??????? Second hand 350000
Are you sure service cost is 60k? Because bmw service costs are generally under 25k the basic things.
Good information video
For people about to dip their dream of buying luxury cars and have a budget anywhere around 20 lacs. Trust me buy a used BMW for around 12 lacs and spend the extra 4-5 lacs on service and fuel. You get snob value, Performance, and company maintained car within 20 lacs. Just dont go to buy any luxury car new unless you love getting hit by depreciation. Cheers
Thanks dear ..
Fantastic video brother, very informative, I’m planning to buy E220d later this year please make one video specifically about insurance costs per year, that would be very kind of you.

Simple, my merc dealer told me 1% when I got the GLE. That works to be about 1.1L or so per service. And my 5 years of owning the X3 (G01) also pointed to a similar number ~ 75K per service.
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.

100% Agreed. owing a Merc C200 and paid 22000 for just a Tensioner Bearing Replacement for the rubber belt a few days ago when the bearing ceized just because I drove it through water in rains. But as you mentioned, the comfort and performance justifies all the expenses that we pay for these cars.

If you will maintain it , it is a very nice car
If you have 20L ready cash buy a good used merc . You will get 40km ran merc. Save fee money for insurance and maintenance. Lot of German car service Center’s are available. Don’t give in merc service center.
Thanks for sharing this. Now I realise I am much better owning a regular Honda or skoda

No, as the car gets older, the servicing costs typically increase.
Bmw is the lower maintenance car..cost around 15 to 25k per service.

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.

useful video
The expenses numbers are very high & also the range for tyres is much larger... if its a FWD you can always rotate and get 60K from the tyres...also service cost is below 15-16 K ...its not worth it going for a service contract.

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.
