So that's more like $80k on road! They've got it just under the LCT threshold. Still more than I can afford.

I'm not convinced it's below LCT, a car like this to be below 7L per 100km would be defying laws of physics...

It may just sneak in?

Thanks Emex, good to see. 990euros seems about right price too. 180kw also seems about right. Would like to have seen 190+ and 0-100 around 5.5. Wonder what the exhaust upgrade brings? Should see the 190+ then, but at 4000euros Inc engine tune, I'd be adding the bit extra and opting for a45. They've got to be the bargain of the year.
Have you compared the E250? It's supposed to consume less than even the A250? Please explain.
A250 ............. 6.1-6.2 l/100 km
A250 SPORT ... 6.4 l/100 km
A45 AMG ........ 6.9-7.1 l/100 km
E250 ............. 5.8-6.1 l/100km
aerodynamics would be my guess... the 3series is more efficient than the 1

I didn't. They quoted me an exorbitant amount. I rather do it elsewhere. Even tinting I'm doing elsewhere
Normally i'd to the same, i'd go get ceramic pro on the car but this time i'm getting grey interior and i'm worried jeans fading on to the leather...
MB promise full repair if leather gets stained from normal use, including coffee etc...
with a light grey interior that's actually worth something to me =/

So? Just wear something when collecting the car, take it to a proper detailer and voila! Save yrself heaps of $...they usually guarantee 5 years at least. By then it's probably time for a new car
true...

Any options fortuner?
Gumpy, I think you can save a small fortune by taking the vehicle elsewhere for paint and interior protection. We had our W204 done elsewhere and the leather and paint are like new, 5 years on. It's a Sahara Beige interior by the way, which is very light and bright and probably harder to maintain than grey. Any marks would be highlighted on it.

I really doubt changing from run flats will effect your warranty. Just confirm it with your dealer. Just get a tire repair kit to stick in the boot undercarriage, and you'll more than appreciate the drive without run flats.

Shouldn't be a problem as the a250 does not come with run flats just a can of goo.
