Atrecord Supersonic March 14, 2016 Share March 14, 2016 vibration likely due to worn engine mount, not expensive to replace. I'm driving a 11 year-old vios mileage is 180k. If you are the first owner will be better as you will understand the car better. If buying over a second hand and renew COE I will be skeptical. Of course parts are cheap and you can replace it easily I found one that is reportedly 1 owner and low mileage. But was surprised that the (visual) condition is not fantastic. The seats and the gear and steering all got bit worn/washed out. The verna that i'm giving up which is one month older, looks better than it anytime. Just can't reconcile why a car one owner low mileage is so worn out internally… ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optramagnum 6th Gear March 15, 2016 Share March 15, 2016 hi, is IS250 or 2007 C200k (first batch without big/small eye) more worthwhile to renew COE? particularly wrt cost of servicing and maintenance. My opinion is that continental cars maintenance is costly.. Take note that most cars which are beyond 10yrs will have many tear and tear parts to replace.. So think twice.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm renewing my W204 C180K in early 2018. Hopefully PQP remain stable at $40k and if it hit $30k and below in 2years time is bonus. Has also facelifted to 2012 looka only spend $1.2k bought the kits from owners upgrading to AMG body kit. My mechanic said Merc can renew COE. W204 quite reliable the past 1yr+ I've driven. Just don't renew the peanut headlamp W203. Looks pretty dated Edited March 15, 2016 by Amazon777 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon777 3rd Gear March 15, 2016 Share March 15, 2016 thanks that's my thoughts as well (abt the peanut headlamp).Buy the W204 2007/8 model spend a bit facelift to 2012 headlamps and bonnet/bumper etc, surely looks sporty Just replaced W204 engine/gearbox mount only cost $300 from stockist. My CRV engine/gb mount cost almost $600 from stockist. Ended decide to change only 1 out of the 3 mounts to save cost as the rest still ok to last 1.5yrs b4 scrap 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashbang Turbocharged March 16, 2016 Share March 16, 2016 Minus certain problematic cars mentioned by others here, I think most cars can last 10 years easily IF the owner takes proper care of it. Some people trash the car and then wonder why got so many problems. Take care of the car and it will take care of you! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
