Asked by Wayne
I have owned my 2013 Mercedes-Benz C180 for five years now. I am 80 years old and retired. Due to financial problems and the costs of owning and servicing my Merc I am considering my options.
Should I sell the car and buy a small car with a long warranty and inexpensive servicing costs. I feel I may not be able to afford the expensive servicing.
Answered by CarsGuide
26 Oct 2018Buying a smaller, new car would give you the certainty of a long warranty and the benefit of capped price servicing. You could consider a Kia Rio, for instance, which would have a 7-year, unlimited kilometre warranty.
