535d? E350 CDI? A6 Avant BiTurbo?
All the same to me if I am honest. Mildly preferable to something like an XC60, but half as much money again meaning that they are very expensive cars for what amounts to a modestly quick diesel in my eyes.Much too ordinary for their price tags for me.

Preaching to the choir my friend; I'd much rather a large petrol powered rapid estate. They are few and far between...Much too ordinary for their price tags for me.
So, back to a significantly more generic derv family wagon.

Just had a major pisser with my SLK.
It's on a 24 month Merc Agility. Due back on June 20th - got another ordered to replace it.
However I'm having to have a "B" service next week - five hundred and three quid!
Five hundred quid service on a car I have to give back a few weeks later. No doubt they'll want another fortune for the kerbed alloys.......

Get the alloys refurbed yourself if they're damaged outside of the wear and tear guidelines, it will definitely save you money.It's on a 24 month Merc Agility. Due back on June 20th - got another ordered to replace it.

You could give them a call and ask them what the charge is for missing a service. When my lease car went back they had some numpty who couldn't read the service book and tried to bill me for missing a service. The penalty charge? £175. The cost of the service? £180. I got the charge cancelled by sending them a copy of the invoice but it was still galling that I could have saved money by skipping the service.
definitely financial benefit in resetting the service interval warning yourself (condition/time based computer) a few months after a service/a few thousand miles after the last one if ever there is one! (presuming its a computer system - "the car never said it needed a service...")
For a lease car anyway...

Mine was on a merc agility agreement and they said that there is a 30 days grace period. I got away with it OK with a few days to spare!It's on a 24 month Merc Agility. Due back on June 20th - got another ordered to replace it.

BCA came to collect and I got away with some minor scuffs on car and wheels. A nervous 30 minutes :-)

Cheers for this advice, gents. I'll check....I have to say that contradicts other stuff I've seen, which basically says that if you use the car for 2 or 3 yrs then it has to be serviced two or three times (that's assuming it doesn't reach the service mileage first). A forum member with Merc GL was threatened with a big penalty if he didn't get the car serviced before return.
Your car seems to be calling for a service early - is that due to mileage? And £503 seems top price to say the least for a B service and brake fluid change.
