Maintaining an S Class and a Pajero

Postby timmyjt on Mon Dec 03, 2012 12:42 pm

Dear All,
Need some advice on maintenance on the Mercedes S class (2009) currently 35K done and the Pajero (2008) currently done 62K.

Pajero
The warranty and service contract on my Pajero has expired and now on my own.
So any advice on what to look out for in terms of maintenance?
I only run on average 30kms a day.

Mercedes
Ive extended my warranty on this and plan to extend the service package as well for another two years.
Again this is run an average of 30kms a day.

Whats the general advice on maintaining Mercs, especially the S class.
Is it worth to keep this car for another 2 years and then sell get another one?
Is it worth to keep the car for the next 3-5 years? considering it is well maintained.

My worry is,I ideally dont want to be stuck with huge bills after 5 years and therefore shd i sell now for a higher price and get the newer model (therefore another 3 years worry free and they usually have superb year end deals now)...vs sell after 5 years for a lower price (perhaps) and then move on to a new model?
The same question applies to the Pajero..keep now..sell later...etc..

Thanks for any help on the people.

to have an idea about future pricing of your cars you could have a look at www.autocheck.ae it might give you a hint what to do....

it further depends on what you expect as repairs, to the best of my knowledge the two you mention are reasonable low maintenance, but If something happens, the Mercedes might take big sums of cash from you...
