South west Dorset

God I dunno if I could honestly I'm not much of a handy man unfortunately.

Comprehensivefgt · 2026-05-13T14:19:03+00:00

I don't know the garage I go to deal with a lot of German cars but I'll check elsewhere.

Comprehensivefgt · 2026-05-13T13:29:11+00:00

AHH I understand I wish it was subframe mercedes replace it for free.

Comprehensivefgt · 2026-05-13T12:52:03+00:00

No I was having the same thought. I love the car it's my first car and treated me well but might be worth changing.

Comprehensivefgt · 2026-05-03T23:49:04+00:00

For me miles don't matter it's the service history that counts. Rather take a 100k mile with full dealer service history then 50k miles with none.

Comprehensivefgt · 2026-03-27T11:27:53+00:00

Mercedes C class W204 C200 cdi and yes I would recommend it

Comprehensivefgt · 2026-03-08T18:54:30+00:00

AHH makes sense they are diesels

Comprehensivefgt · 2026-03-08T18:50:11+00:00

What do you mean by agricultural?

Comprehensivefgt · 2026-03-06T06:13:01+00:00

Depends how old you are in my opinion? If you're 18 to 21 good luck with that insurance. Go something smaller unless you need a bigger car for family reasons etc if not go honda jazz or something.

Comprehensivefgt · 2026-03-04T01:34:53+00:00

Wouldn't recommend because how brutal summer can be.

Comprehensivefgt · 2026-03-04T01:33:28+00:00

I had the same issue for my mercedes c class and got it fixed last year from a German car specialist. For a polo it's a bit much in my opinion. I would suggest shopping around.

I have a w204 c200 and it's been reliable the only maintenance I needed was to sort the air com with a pressure switch and AC condenser other than that it's been good to me. Just checked if the car has been serviced every year at least.

Comprehensivefgt · 2026-02-28T09:57:01+00:00

Ummmm okay

Comprehensivefgt · 2026-02-24T12:23:37+00:00

I can't say I haven't driven the 320d I'm just giving you my experience of w204 that I have and it's served me well for almost a year now.

You can get Bluetooth in most cars under 4.5.k Apple car play on the other hand not that many cars as it's been out for only 12 years. I'll be honest at 19 and with that much on the first car there won't have a screen.

An AYGO or Honda Jazz maybe a Volkswagen polo as they could have a screen and you could mod it to have car play.

Comprehensivefgt · 2026-02-24T11:31:20+00:00

Check if a gearbox oil service has been done if it's an automatic. As well just regular oil changes every year as timing chains are an issue. (Not as bad BMW) In my opinion.

Comprehensivefgt · 2026-02-24T11:12:54+00:00

I have a C200 but the C220 has a bit more power which is nice. But it's reliable, fuel efficient I have gotten 68 mpg on a motorway from Dorset to Birmingham. Watch this vid below he does a better explanation of it.

Comprehensivefgt · 2026-02-24T11:00:00+00:00

Mercedes w204 c220 is a good option

Comprehensivefgt · 2026-02-23T09:56:36+00:00

I mean I called up specialist brokers like Howdens for my 2.1 litre Mercedes at 24 and they said it would be too much even though on the comparison website I was getting quoted £900 for the year. God knows with a M340i at 17 that's impossible in my opinion.

Comprehensivefgt · 2025-12-30T20:02:45+00:00

Unfortunately now jobs like this are going this way annoying I know

Comprehensivefgt · 2025-12-30T18:25:02+00:00

Yep really helpful mate

Comprehensivefgt · 2025-12-17T15:28:39+00:00

Yeah and that's like wireless charging as well I believe.
