Cost of owning a Mercedes in India (first or second hand)? My 3 year experience with a Mercedes GLA 

Eye opener for people who dream of owning luxury cars. People who create luxury car sales vlogs never show this side of story 😀. It’s one thing to buy to Elephant and another thing to feed it everyday.

Last one month I had been looking into buying used luxury vehicles (unnecessarily) and I had shortlisted a few even. Thanks for the info. Saved me from losing so much money 😂

Thanks for the details that you have covered. Really useful! Top videos appearing in the search results doesn't come near to the intricate details covered here.

Being an ex GLA owner my self I can relate to each and every point... totally on point.

Sunday, 26 December 2021:- Genuine thanks for making such a good video! Trust me it has been a great great help for me knowing all this stuff.

Thank you, this was very informative.

A very detailed video, I LIKED IT. KEEP IT UP

I just laughed when you said the price of replacement battery. I own a Merc C200 Petrol. Gives a decent mileage of 10Kmpl. When my key fob batteries died, I enquired to the Merc and they said exactly 2000 + GST per remote. Then I searched in local market and bought Panasonic batteries that cost me 100Rs and the remote is working well since a year.

Thanks a lot for this video. I was planning to buy a luxury car. But after watching this video, I am happy with buying Creta :)

Thank you brother:) Really appreciate your time and this video

Just what i was looking for! Thank you

Thanks for this eye opening video. You saved my 30 lacs. I will go for xuv700 now. Not because it’s maintainance is expensive but I realised that i cnt afford 1.5-2 lacs plus fuel cost every year.

Quite informative! I am buying the new gla 220d and I am not sure which service package shall I opt for. Can you tell me if the compact plus package is worth the price?

Good honest video, lived the fact that you added non- recurring expenses. I am service class was planning to buy one. Now I see why I can't afford.

Hey thanks for detailed description.

Tnx. . . . . .very useful information before buying. Really helpful. . . . .

Crisp Spot On Information that others fail to deliver 👌

Excellent owner review, very informative. Thanks

Very informative 👍🏼

Thanks Sir..... Very detailed review of costing.

Excellent and Detailed review. I am considering BMW X1 (3rd Gen Diesel MSport) or GLA 220d. Only concern (user feedback) also I experienced during test drive GLA220d having slight jerk on low speed (< 35 kmph) due to DCT its ready to engage next gear however when we slow down it kicks down the gear and have a slight jerk/pullback.. This is also due to DCT tries to engage high gears (5th gear) at low speed due to efficiency... Any feedback on it? I am from Bangalore known for traffic so checking if this is a concern during daily. city drives.

Thank you brother. You have saved lives.

Great insight dear. Thanks for info.

Thanks, Nice explanation- so when buying a Merc, i should get the best insurance and service package and extended warranty

If you buy a used car from these brands, the costs of upkeep are similar to Italian superbikes purchased brand new. That was unexpected but I am quite happy to know

Very well explained and very helpful

Very informative video . I was searching these answers . Thank you

Good insights , thanks for sharing.

Informative video..very well made👍

Great information bro!!

Do you recommend a Benz for first time car buyer in India? I am looking at a used A180

Informative video brother 👌👌

My target for next summer is to buy GLA 220d 4matic

Good guy. Explained like a pro

How about any sensor failure Does warranty also cover for electrical failures What’s max duration we can extend the warranty post standard 3 years

Thanks immensely for this vdo!

Thanks man! was really useful...

Spot On Information ❤

Thanks brother for sharing your views..🙏🇮🇳

Crisp. On point. Thank You

Extremely informative video

Quiet informative...who dreams to 🤕 own these cars

Great review bhai 👍💕

1.5 1.8 lakh per year roughly - insurance /Tyres / service

Very informative for prospective buyers of luxury cars 🚗- I was one but will surely give now a second ( or maybe third too) thought 😀

Maruti, Hyundai, and few other cars’ service do not cost anywhere near 25K. Yes with luxury cars, the annual maintenance will be higher but that’s these are owned by those who can afford.

A big eye opener !!! I too was planning to buy a Preowned gla 200 but looking at the recurring expenses, it’s not worth owning this car….

Very nicely and concisely told reality.Appreciate it!

Simple, my merc dealer told me 1% when I got the GLE. That works to be about 1.1L or so per service. And my 5 years of owning the X3 (G01) also pointed to a similar number ~ 75K per service.

Very well put together & very informative!!! I just have a question, If we buy the service package, What are the extra costs that we have to pay during service? Like, will there be -Labour charges, -Pic up and drop Charges, etc?

Fantastic video brother, very informative, I’m planning to buy E220d later this year please make one video specifically about insurance costs per year, that would be very kind of you.

Sir should i buy 2004 mercedes c200 kompressor??????? Second hand 350000

Bahot hi badhiya.. Apne pure tarikese in (Gadiyonka nahi )but in showroom waloka such expose kiya ... Thank you bro.. It is better to go with Tata... 😆😆

I own a Hyundai SantaFe and I stayed away from buying a used Mercedes only because my fear of high service costs but the used car dealer told me that any time I need servicing he would arrange for it from private owners for a very less price. I bought a used Santa Fe the flagship of Hyundai and I am astounded by its service ,maintenance and repair costs. The service cost of Hyundai SantaFe is anywhere up to Rs.18000/= and one drive shaft had cost me about Rs.40,000 including labour cost and the servicing is not a very professional one. One extra key had cost me Rs.15000 ,new tires 82,000/= ORVM cost 15000/= But the comfort of car is more or equal to Audi Q3 and much more than likes of Fortuner, Innova etc., in fact as such comparing is not good. These premium cars need high maintenance of Engine mounts, ABS sensors, drive shafts and any careless driving means you are paying through your nose. Spare parts will not be available immediately.

What about the car on lease ?

If you have 20L ready cash buy a good used merc . You will get 40km ran merc. Save fee money for insurance and maintenance. Lot of German car service Center’s are available. Don’t give in merc service center.

Thanks for saving my life.

Bhai isko le ke bank balance kam hi hita rahega is ke liye mai gloster book kr raha hua..pehale cla lena chahata tha..

Thank You so much man

Really an informative video. I'm going for TATA or Hyundai now. Thank you

Are you sure service cost is 60k? Because bmw service costs are generally under 25k the basic things.

👌👌 thanks sir..

Wow 😮 bhaiya be to craze hi utar dia cars ka

What about veran? ??

Nice video👍🏼

If you can't buy it twice, then you can't afford it...........

Thanks for sharing this. Now I realise I am much better owning a regular Honda or skoda

Hyundai aur maruti meh 30k ka service cost nahi hota bhai .. Aur luxury segment meh Mercedes diesel engine is best ,good mileage and good performance...That also depends on which model u r buying...

bro doesn't blink

Bahot hi badhiya video

Bmw is the lower maintenance car..cost around 15 to 25k per service.

The expenses numbers are very high & also the range for tyres is much larger... if its a FWD you can always rotate and get 60K from the tyres...also service cost is below 15-16 K ...its not worth it going for a service contract.

For people about to dip their dream of buying luxury cars and have a budget anywhere around 20 lacs. Trust me buy a used BMW for around 12 lacs and spend the extra 4-5 lacs on service and fuel. You get snob value, Performance, and company maintained car within 20 lacs. Just dont go to buy any luxury car new unless you love getting hit by depreciation. Cheers

Help full 😇

Bro one video for....what is the benefit of buying luxury car against normal car

thanks for sharing.

Superb Review ! My Head is to back to Toyota

5:15, My 2009 Ritz gives 11.2 kmpl.

If you will maintain it , it is a very nice car

Will these costs be the same if I buy a used GLA that's run 50k kms and is 2015 model? I saw one for 17lacs.

Good information video

Bro, Great Content

Hi,which one is relatively cheap in maintenance costs Benz or BMW or Audi. Both new and second hand?

Thanks dear ..

The only problem with this video is " i didn't understand a single word bcoz i don't know hindi. What about south Indians bro?. You speak good english and your videos in hindi 🙏

Thanks bro. You saved my bank balance.

Mast video bani hi apne

Good information

Bro is robot he doesn’t blink🥸

Shukriya bhai

Bro I Do Have a BMW X3 Luxury Line ... First Hand ... And Services Cost Is Around 35k ... This Was Our Second Service ... So It's Not That Experience..... And Insurance Coast Is 80 - 90k And That To Zero Depth

Thank god I saw this video, I was about to get GLA 200d 🤣🤣 ab toh I'll be happy with hundai creta

Which maruti costs 25000 for it service!! Please clarify!!

thank you

If you have bought a preowned Merc, then you’re going about it all wrong.. 1. Insurance - just buy 3rd party. If you need to change spares, there are many places where you get parts which have come off accident cars which you can replace way cheaper. 2. Service - there are very competent service centers which give a very good service cost. 15000 - 25000 you can get it done annually. 3. Fuel cost - Those that have luxury cars also have other cars for daily running. These are mostly special occasion cars.

useful video

Bhai mai GLA 220 D secound hand lene ka soch rha hu but now I am worry about the cost u explained . Service Insurence Warranty Very expensive 😅

I am really confused actually, one dealer here is selling a CLA220D for (13 lakhs) which has run about 30K kilometers, the car is probably 6 years old. The dealer says that this car has no fault in it but do you think that because of its age there's a chance of faults in the future? And also can I buy warranty packages for 2nd hand car? Currently, I drive a Suzuki Dzire since 2014, this is going to be a huge leap for me.

Mileage is not a problem. City already 9 ki mileage deti hain 😢

1:02.. 20,000-25,000 for maruti Hyundai servicing!! 😯😯 even VW charge a modest 10,000-12,000 for their servicing. Marutis hardly cost 5,000 for servicing.
