A45 running costs?

[Jayda77]

Hi all, I’m looking to buy an a45 within the next few months on pcp. Ideally a 17 plate with the aero pack, I’ll only be doing around 6-7000 miles year or even less as I work close to home. I just want to know what kind of expenses am I looking at, has anyone ever had the experience of living with one?

Thanks

Yesterday it was an M140i or a Golf R https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

The A45 is a road from Birmingham to Northampton, roughly.


Suspect it costs quite a lot to run.

Find a registration number, go to mercedes service put the details in and you will get the service costs.

Yup. We've been running one since new from Oct 2016.

Averaging around 27mpg, specifies super unleaded.

I think servicing is around £500 a time on average (we've a pay monthly servicing pack).

Front tyres lasted 9k miles, £160 each to replace. Rears still good and now @ 18,000 miles.

No issues with the car has been very reliable.

Used car PCP tends to be expensive due to high interest rates.
