7k for new engine? So cheap ? I want to switch back to Jap car liao.😁

$40k for an engine and people complain expensive?

Are people mad?

An engine is made of metal and metal is not cheap!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

People pay $100k for a piece of paper.

So compare a big heavy engine made of metal for only $40k

vs 1 single piece of very light paper you can lift with one finger

for $100k the engine is tremendous value for money.

Have lah, the fact that one could afford to pay installment  would already deserve a lot of respect from me.

I saw some used car dealers advertise "easy loan, bankruptcy,  jobless also can approve", wah 😨 i feel like applying but i scare i will become the first one to be rejected by them.😱

easy loan, bankruptcy or jobless can approve not an issue, issue is whether you jobless or earning 7 digits or more per year, they charge you interests arm and legs then this is the issue 🤣🤣🤣

Buy Used Car,must buy from @JamescUsed Car,comfirmed Good Condition,or else Money sure can 100 % Refund + 20 % Discount on another Used Car,very Good Value.

Not sure about the refund and discount...but im sure if the buyer is not the picky type...he'd sure throw in a highly valued mil for free...since not a picky person to begin with...😁

If the car was from CnC, he could have gone back to CnC to claim under 10 yr engine warranty.

Maybe carrot , spelling error ? Even if this is an isolated case, as a widely advertised company, i would think they should do something more favorable about it, unless every other car they sell also have problem😄

In fact i am quite puzzled with the spare parts price, a  complte newly built car also cost about the same price, why the engine alone can be so expensive.

They will ceased the 5th year engine warranty onwards if the car owner never go back to them for servicing or up to 200k mileage

Altis cheap cheap, reliable, no need worry pay another 40k engine.

@RadXwill say, buy EV lah, no engine problem, no need spend $40k.  When change?

This is a GLC not a A class hatch that is the target of your typical conti Beng. When is the last time you saw a GLC with aftermarket rims let alone other modifications?

With that in mind, it seems pretty shoddy that a fairly new Mercedes Benz has such a pile of issues - it’s not even the buyer being nit picky expecting a new car at used car prices when the car stops running.

However I would also take the buyer’s account with a grain of salt. If he went to other workshops to get work done, the car dealer who sold him the car begins to have the excuse of reasonable doubt that some other workshop could have created the problem.

His excuse of not selling the car back sounds so noble yet incredibly hard to believe.
