That's more than 150k
Supercharger from my old slk was 100k on its own

Yeah, I know. Tongue in cheek and all...
But R155k for 2 years of motor plan on a bog standard C200 is highway robbery.

Agreed.

 

[RedViking]

But why?

 

[Saba'a]

Agreed.

Yep

But decided buying a newer merc either 2017 or 2018 makes more sense.

Interested in a 2nd hand mercedes c200.

However not sure if extending maintenace plan at cost of R155 000 for 2 years and extra 60 000kms worth it?

How much is a major service and specifically brakes?

R155,000 for maintance plan? you must be joking right?

you can buy another car with that money!

Nope that is their topmost extender maintenance plan

What mileage is in the car now and to what does it go to with that price tag?

155k??? Fook mi sideways

 

[Saba'a]

But its for 60 000kms. Hassle is only 2 years added.

But buying a newer merc so not an issue.

 

[SauRoNZA]

That's R6458 a month.

How is this even a question? Of course it's not worth it.

Please tell me you accidentally added a zero there.

My father in law drives one of these and the biggest service surprise was replacing the timing chain. That entire service including the brakes all round was R30k.

Sadly not

Sadly not

Then, maybe they erroneously added a zero or a one on their quote.

Nope ... probably because at that high mileage they face risk of major items

It's an insurance policy and you pay the premium.

What is the mileage on the car? I scanned through the thread but didn't see any mention of it, so apologies in advance if I missed something.

73 000kms and 4 years old. So only 2 years left but at 73000kms only 1 year left.

 

[Saba'a]

Thanks for inputs.

I decided against such a crazy price. Maintenance plan not worth it. Makes more sense to buy a newer car.
