Interested to know from those with deals from Pink Car Leasing if you've had a good experience and whether you chose the maintenance option?

I've seen Pink are offering a competitive deal on the A200 AMG Line Premium Auto atm and am considering cancelling my current deal to get the better price. It means a shift from manual to auto and I could add the aluminum dash and the advanced nav for the same price as my A200 manual current deal.

I’ve not got mine ordered through pink, but I would happily order a car though them as they have a decent reputation from leasers on piston heads.

When the £199 A class deals came up on pink they were legit and all got delivered swiftly I’m lead to believe.

Regarding servicing Merc is mega expensive - roughly £250ish for the first and £400ish for the second service. I believe merc themselves so a service plan at £30 pm so if you can get it from pink for less than that then go for it !

If you only have the car for 2 years you won’t need maintenance plus tyres as
I’ve found this is often very expensive and you probably won’t even need to change the front tyres after 2 year / average miles use.

Due an update tomorrow apparently from from Perth Mercedes with a delivery date

The maintenance plan is definitely worth adding then. Taking out a 3 year deal so probably worth keeping the tyres in I guess?

Looks like Pink popped up earlier this year so there's not much to go by. I guess there's no real way to know how they are long term, but their deals are definitely legit and they've delivered on time for others!

Pink have not long changed their name. They were Total Motion so that's probably why there isn't much on them.

I got my A Class through them and they were fine to deal with.

So it’s september Guys and I believe a few of us are expecting our cars this month / early next month.

Could the guys who already have the Perth Mercedes say how they got the cars data / Mercedes me activated for things like “what3words” etc

I’ve heard you need ID, the V5C and to visit the dealer. However we don’t have the V5C as leasers. Did you’s just take your lease contract ?

Also whilst at the dealer getting the above sorted is there anything else we should be activating ? I heard something about tidal for free.

Thanks in advance
Dan

You may be aware of this A class forum - there are several threads regarding Mercedes Me -

https://www.aclassclub.co.uk/forum/39-main-class-w...

I went to my local dealer to activate it (having registered as far as I could on the portal), took ID and didn't have any issues re the V5C, but TBH it's not really there yet as a really functional app. You also have to pay too for most of the services on offer. The dealership hadn't heard of the Tidal offer either - although I believe you have to use your own sim for it to work (again this is discussed on the A class forum)?

What3words IS worth it though - very good and takes you straight to your exact destination.

Must be a great feeling when you get when delivery date. When did you order yours?

It feels like a long time coming, my car goes back 01/10, so falls in just nicely.

Initial order was placed 18/04 but didnt get an order number until 03/06 (See post on previous page)

Just had an email asking for deposit 3-4wks ahead....does this sound right

Just had a message from Arnold Clark (not Perth) that they have an ETA on my car for early December. Ordered start of July.

Mind it's not a build date but hopefully it means we're getting somewhere.
