New 2nd Generation Mercedes B Class

[Terrylmt]

Have fun and enjoy your rides guys.

 

Next thing you guys will plan should probably be a road trip to Melaka, Kukup, Mersing or Desaru already.

Haha...no lar, so that I have never into car modification even the previous one.

Yes, mine gotten early this year and like what you said, I will stay with C&C for the Service till the Service Credit finishes...thing like wiper blade I will not get from C&C as it is not critical part and I can get it cheaper outside.

 

Roomy is yes but I wish the back seat can incline a bit. Maybe Mercedes can incorporate this function when they introduce future B class.

Places like Autobacs or even online stores carry wipers.. keep the originals..

You can spec the movable seats, but it will costs $$..

if you booked during the 40k COE you would have paid a lot less..

Enjoy your rides, it's pretty fun to drive.

I look forward to my next trip up north, unless the VEP gets too expensive or complex ..

Btw you can service in JB C&C without voiding the warranty, just that's rather far.. and you can't use your credits.

Have fun and post some pics. Cheers

Oh, just like the CLA thread, sometimes less is actually good news - less issues to report..

So far we have 3 persons in groupchat. Would hope to get more so that we can organize a trip like you said :)

Cant predict the COE lar, just have to book since car is due to scrap. Yes, will deplete the Service credit first before heading for external workshop.

 

Sure, will post pic here if we head north or have any gathering :)

im looking to change to b class, anything I should be looking out for?

Can you pm what was your quoted price?

COE has gone down and this car should be VES neutral so it's a good choice.

Check out the checklist thread for things to look out for, and the Merc Owners' thread for the freebies & collection.

Try and get a local meet first - you are definitely caught up with new buyer fever ;)

 

What I meant was that you enjoyed the lower COE so your purchase price will be very sweet..

 

I actually thought they have no current stock?

Yes, no stock now. Delivery next jan/feb. 

 

Quoted price $147,888. Overtrade only 4k. CEV now -5k, VES, they said they absorbed. So is neutral band? 

 

Rest freebies same, 4k service credits, solar film, grooming credits, 12x pick ups. My car only given paper value though still left 10 mths next Jan. 

 

SE asked me name my price but realistically only a few thousands off the most. So i walked away.

 

Still good choice?

In fact, U should NOT be looking at the outlook as I think B is less "aggressive Merc's look" compare to other models. However, it is a very practical car, big space than it actually look and very good fuel consumption.

IMO you can try for more OT.. especially with the lower COE.. it's almost 10k less compared to the same period last year.. the SRP hasn't moved much.

However if you appreciate the solid features it has, it's a good car. Cheers

B-class is a very comfortable ride for those who appreciates it's tame (read: family) looks, and will suit most small family needs. A very good daily drive!

[therock]

FYI, the 2018 B Class will incur a VES of 10k!

According to the video, the shape still looks bad. Nothing like a cross-over.

Though that's exactly what the people looking for a mini-van is looking for. More interior space (more boxy).

AIG is offering me nett after $400 discount, $930 for renewal of my insurance. 50% NCD.

Is that a good offer?

I did an online assessment and it was around 988 from NTUC.

Thanks

Both of which can go back to MB workshop? Previously when looking to renew insurance for my old car I still took ntuc in the end as their orange riders really makes things convenient. But that was when my car was almost 7 years old and not serviced by AD.

 

If I were you, I would probably still stick to AIG since they’re the insurance covering C&C. And it helps that their price is the lower of the 2.

I think $930 is a good price. But.....if without the $400, then it will be a different story.

Take AIG. Avoid NTUC.

[therock]

Thanks bros, did the deed.. 

BTW, they offer full replacement for the first three years, plus NCD protection, and repair at Merc.

All drivers included, no surcharge or excess unless the driver is under 25.

On a separate note, does anyone know how to swop out the wipers?

Any videos? 

 

And is it ok to leave the car for 11 days without starting?

 

Thanks
