Is that just for the part?

adolf hamster · 11 May 2017 at 12:30

yep, this is one reason i love older cars- screw dealer prices just find it from a scrappy

CapitalOne · 11 May 2017 at 12:33

Part and fitting. Doesn't help though!

Dan103 · 11 May 2017 at 12:35

thats a hefty price. If thats the part god knows the labour charge

Can't afford to run it, don't buy it!

how much is the part alone?

This is only this price because you are asking a main agent to fix it with main agent labour, as opposed to doing it yourself. Shock as Mercedes charge a lot at their dealers?

Yup.... it is a Mercedes, after all...
Kinda why we ditched ours, as even the old '90s ones still cost a lot!

My OH's C230K Coupe had extortionate part prices also, genuinely never paid too much attention to part prices (happy with cheaper OE quality alternatives usually etc) but definitely noticed those!

CapitalOne · 11 May 2017 at 13:22

I'll reconcile it as an expensive valet!

Gibbo · 11 May 2017 at 13:24

911 was a similar price, when mine failed the glass dropped, so lucky it did not smash! Was £500-£600 to fix, cannot remember exactly and it did it days before I sold it, guess the car was saying you absolute ass, getting rid of me.

Were you sat down when they gave you that price? :eek:

Clarkson · 11 May 2017 at 15:19

No wonder he's named after a credit card company.
