Hi Guys,

My friend is purchasing a 2021 V213. Would be real helpful if you could answer his queries.

"I am planning to get an E 200.
1) Have any of you tried the star agility program? Please share your experience.
2) Anything I should be wary of in the program?
3) I am also interested to know how the buyback value of the car can change.

Thanks."

Hi,

Can someone please throw light on the speakers/system that is used in the 2017-2019 e200 (non burmester). How many speakers, output, quality etc.

Also, it’s a non touch infotainment screen but can the software be updated to the last ear version that we see in the current version of the car?

Hi,

I will be booking a new E200 Black in January. Have already blocked the car.

Wanted the forum's guidance on what accessories and treatments I should go for. I will get floor mats included anyway

1. Accessories.

a. Have 2 young kids. so thinking of ipad holders in the back.
b. Hub caps? They look good but any practical issues?
c. Tool kit (ack, lug wrench, wheel centring bolt, chock, shim plate, gloves.)
d. Dashcam (Front or rear?)

2. Coating/Cover?
I got a 3M covering done for my X5. Its ok but now in Y5 its starting to peel away and show up. Has probably saved me from 3-4 scracthes in the bumper area

Is Ceramic coating necessary? If so 3M or Wurth? What does it typically cost?

Any other accessories or treatment you recommend?

Thanks for your advice

Do fit the dash cam
Not sure how you fit hubcaps on alloy wheel. Avoid as brakes need ventilation.
Go for Ceramic costing + PPF on bumpers. Avoid PPF on bodywork especially if car is a light colour as it yellows. Also if you remove PPF, you might need to get a respray.
Tool kit - notarially necessary unless you travel on bad roads.

Hi guys,

Just bought a pre worshiped e200 to fulfill my desire of owning a worthwhile and meaningful Benz (not just buy any model of the tri-star to achieve this dream).

It’s a Dec ‘17 model, registered in Jan 2018. Done 37k on the odo with complete service record from Merc and also verified from them.

Unfortunately, no warranty left so let’s hope it doesn’t dig a massive hole in my pocket 🤞.

On that note, I had a few questions:
1. Can I configure this car to the Mercedes me app?
2. Now that Ali express is banned in India, is there any other place where I can order some DIY stuff for the car.
3. Can a service package be bought if the warranty is out? Also, is it worth it?
4. Does getting it serviced from a reputed service centre apart from Merc, impact the resale of the car going forward?

Thanks in advance 🙏
