Easy to say hard to do. These new vehicles become harder and harder to work on. I get a basic oil change most should strive to learn to do in their own vehicle(s). Checking fluids, keeping tires inflated properly for your scenario. Maybe replacing certain mechanical components. And watching how you drive plays a role too you’re reckless and hit potholes run over shit, things will break faster. But to fix bugs electrical issues, sensors put in tough places to swap out, faulty transmission, motor or suspension issues. Are left more for ppl with the proper experience and tools. Not everyone can be hardcore DIY.

I’m seeing so many people in the comments “ooo if you drive the car sensibly”… bro you’re buying a 3+Litre mini sports car for however much money and you want to drive slow 😂😂😂 go buy a Mini. How daft, let me pay 30-40k for a sports sedan and drive it like a 15-20k hatchback, not saying be a hooligan but come on people you buy a car like this for the fun it brings not to sit watching the MPG and driving soft to get its max 😂😂 You guys will buy a Ferrari and talk about “oooo I must get 15mpg I won’t press the throttle” Asides from that thanks for the video!

depends on which c63, the 6.2 is quite bad on fuel but the 4.0 is not as bad, could probably get 25mpg and up if you are sensible. Also bearing in mind the c43 is all wheel drive whereas both c63's are rear, which is usually a bit less wear on the front wheels and a bit more on the rear, also cos the engine is powering two wheels instead of 4 you can get a bit better fuel efficiency than 4wd, so probably 1.2x as much in terms of fuel and maintenance

Was deliberating about getting an S205 to replace my S204 C220D estate but with the sums you've put up, it's made me think twice. It's a nice fast estate and I guess the running prices are reasonable for the performance, but it did get me thinking "When am I really going to get the opportunity to open its taps when the roads around the South West and Wales are littered with old sunday drivers" - Always at a conundrum because I can easily ride either of my 1000cc motorbikes if I wanted a speed fix. Did you think your performance on your A class was sufficient? I know full well that nothing this side of a pure sports car will be as engaging as an R1 on the roads. Great impartial vid BTW

@DeanMDavis

Makes perfect sense, however I’ll think you find you can have a lot more fun in the car that you may think, especially in Wales! I’ve been wanting to go there. For the UK roads, yes the A220d was more than sufficient however lacked rawness and sound which is important for me in a car. But also the A Class was ALOT cheaper to maintain, so I guess it’s just an opportunity cost 🤷🏾‍♂️

Would it be reasonable to say it would be around £60 a week for me driving one of these 3 days (ish) per week? I definitely wouldn’t slam it around, but for sure would have a few bursts of spirited driving. Just want to get a rough idea for fuel costs, I’m in a A250 AMG at the moment which is about £35 a week in fuel on my average, to fill it’s around £60.

Hay bro. Thanks for your detailed video explaining it all and breaking down everything. I was looking to buy one of these (the c300) but I calculated the running costs for it and it turns out quite expensive: Tires: 800 per year or 66 per month Service care plan + MOT: 1k per year or 83 per month Road tax: 150 per year or 12.5 per month Fuel: 150 per month Insurance: 360 per month Finance: 500 per month Average repair cost! 2k per year: 166 per month 66+83+12.5+150+360+500+166: £1,337.5 per month. Can you let me know if my calculations are accurate please? I know we can't be exact but for an estimate becuase wirh everything calculated per month, it turned out to be nearly £1400 per month 😵 Thanks bro!

Hey man It all depends on how you drive. I’d expect you would spend less money on petrol in a c300. You also shouldn’t need to change your tyres every year but rather every 2.

Bro, new brakes every year is INSANELY INCORRECT an absurd!!!! 1st off u NEVER wanna do just pads. Mercedes rotors(and almost all European cars) are designed with a softer steel that's made to wear with the pads. NEVER cut European rotors, they will warp after running new pads on them. An new pads installed will wear down VERY quickly. I'm a bmw & Audi certified technician, trust me. Always install new odds w/ new rotors. They should last u a min of 30k, but up to 70k miles on average that's wat I've seen during my career on newer vehicles.
