UK running costs...
I pick up my new SLK55 this weekend and would like some advise on running costs. My dealer has offered me a service contract at £108 a month assuming 12k miles a year. Can someone who has had a SLK55 for a while give me some rough running costs?
Specifically how often has it been serviced at what cost?
How long tyres and brake pads last.
Can't wait until the weekend![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Thanks
Phil

A SL55 delivered 8/18/07, and an E55 wagon delivered 5/11/05
I had my car for 10 1/2 months almost 12000 miles only money into so far is the "A" service $200 and a set of tires at 8300 miles $1200.

Phil £1296 a year sounds WAY too expensive. You should only need one service a year and that shouldn't set you back more than £500.
Does the service contract include tyres and pads? If it does you would need to use a complete set every year for the contract to be reasonable value...... depends how hard you plan to drive, personally I'd expect to go through a set of rears every year because of the torque but the fronts should last a bit longer.
