Well out on your prices. Discs and pad boxed set around £110 on ebay. Mintex boxed set. Full cat back hand crafted ss exhaust around £350. As for service, basically, plugs, oil and filters about £100 parts. As for Mercs. Yes lovely cars. Just bought 03 plate Cdi 220 40k on the clock. BUT as with all 10yr old cars I had to spend a few bob on here to get her up to my standards plus hours and hours of flating and polishing. New front suspension arms and drop links, front back plates rotten. AND although it had been serviced by a supposedly reputable Aston Martin Specialist, who had recently adjusted the tracking twice. I have never come across such badly seized track rod end lock nuts. Makes me wonder why people put such faith in these outfits? Took me longer to free them as it did to rebuild suspension.
So may be better the devil you know. Mercs can be pricey to repair but I love mine. BUT I also miss the zed too.
