Funny thing you should mention Escorts(no not Jamie Theakston!)one of my friends is always prattling on about how cheap hers was, 150 quid.she is always saying why do I need a Merc?Well here's why in 2 years I've had or done the following work:-
1.Replaced radiator about £160 fitted
2.2 tyres £32 each
3.New fuel hoses fitted £10.
There are other enhancements but these are the ones that had to be done to keep the car roadworthy.She on the other hand in the last 2 years has had done:-
1.Welding to sills £300!!
2.New brakes £105!
3.Tune up and correct engine problems approx £180.
4.4 new tyres crap Kwik Fit ones £100
The list is longer than this but you get the general idea!My Merc is the best damn car I've ever had.Got to go now I've got to drive down to Folkestone in t'morning. Regards BEAR
