Total Cost of Ownership
Thought I would provide some info for those considering buying a w204 c class.
Here are my service costs thus far :
Bought CPO with < 10k miles ( 7/09 )
$168 replace front mesh ( 10/09 )
$570 B service and brake fluid flush ( 5/10 )
$438 A service and trans flush ( 4/11 )
$542 replace rear tires ( 4/11 )
$673 B service, brake fluid flush, replace rear pads ( 5/12 )
$2391 total ( about $600 per year )
Regards,
Nick

Are people afraid to work on their cars? I can see having them do the trans flush and maybe the brake flush if you dont have the stuff to do it, but having them change your oil and brakes? I enjoy working on my cars, I have never taken any of my cars to a dealer unless it was for a warranty repair.

DonJuan,
I was equally suprised the dealer ended up being cheaper for tires than tire rack :

Marine,
I have neither the tools nor the knowledge to work on my car ( or the time for that matter ) but I agree that would be beneficial not only from a financial perspective but also for the piece of mind that the work has been performed correctly.
