cars with service indicators used mostly on long trips normally has higher service intervals than cars with fixed service intervals

according to my c-class merc's manual the services were to be done at 15,000 km intervals - however most of the services done based on the service indicator were done at 24-26k kilometre intervals.

Face lift inside and out, the TFT dash plus the extra toys on the 2010 - no brainer as far as I'm concerned

Stone chips would not be my top priority and the 2010 will be far more desirable when its time to sell.

I'm not sure why it has a used car warranty though if there is manufacturers warranty left unless they are bolting it on to run after?
