TRD3000GT Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Hey.. The biggest issue on all Mercs 2002 - 2007 is the ABC suspension. Ive had to replace 1 shock during my ownership at £1,200 fitted and also the ABC pump which im pretty sure is also the Alternator.. I suggest if your interested in getting one you might want to consider the following. Buy yourself a warranty works platinum warranty for the first year (about £400) I did this and it saved me around £4500 during my first years ownership including the shock. Since replacing a few bits and pieces the car is now solid. I guess its realistic to put aside £1000 a year for servicing and parts. Whats your budget? Im actually thiking about selling mine funnily enough. Ive got my eye on a Bull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Only possibly though? It's the strongest contender at the moment, I'd just prefer it to have a proper manual box and weigh less than a small house. Hey.. The biggest issue on all Mercs 2002 - 2007 is the ABC suspension.

I had a Murcielago Roadster for 2 weeks in Miami and it was awesome but without a doubt the most unpractical car I have ever driven. Gallardos are much more daily driver friendly although they have near 0 luggage space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
