My 2014 B Class will reach it’s 7th year soon where MB Extended Warranty ends (totally recommending it because I had DU replaced under the extended warranty and a couple software glitches). Called a few local small shops in Seattle area and while they can touch hybrid or EVs, i have no luck...

EQA Sounds very interesting. Jeff do you know if MB exhausted the $7500 tax credit yet? I’d not like another first user experiences like my B class but price and options makes it attractive.... we’ll have myEQAelectricdrive.com site lol.

So true Jeff. Keep us posted once you end up on another sexy ride. With my luck I’m probably resetting my 5 year counter with this b class!

Responding to my post. Went with dealer batter at about $350 + tax as I’m also doing tesla motor replacement. I’m hoping the new motor will last > 5 years so that this is not end of the road for b!

Wow. I replaced mine about 2 years ago with auto insurance. The shop literally have to order the parts through MBUSA and ship them from Germany (if i remember correctly) and that was somewhere about $700-$800 with 3 weeks worth of wait. It’s bad that they don’t source parts anymore. Which...

My time has come with my 2014 B class. On both 12V issue as well as drive motor replacement. What are the 12V battery people are using? Dealer charges $650 for it of course but offered to installation only if I provide my own parts. I saw the XS Power D4700 suggestion from @cblankespoor. Any...

Thank you both. I’m not too worried about the break pads as they tell me the current status when I bring the car in for battery certification and they have been good. It’s just the fluid service that I waited until 30K to do, but very weird to find local shops don’t want to deal with this car...

Thank you. This gives me some good options going with none run flat ones!

How is everyone doing on the brake fluid service? Couple independent shops here that does this in Seattle market doesn’t seem to do electric vehicle and suspect electric brakes are different so I’m forced to dealers at about $200. Is that same experience to others? My brake performance is...

How are the tires? I’m about due for my tire and are actively looking for one. Either thanksgiving shopping or right after winter. Urban driving for mine as well as these are electric cars that have 82 miles range. Quiet and comfort are the primary goal.

Alright. Finally I can give updates on my lease. My family like this car a lot to a point where we want to keep this and new B class isn’t really that much better. We worked with Mercedes Benz of Beaverton to actually get about 2.5k less than payoff. If this helps our forum friends, PM me for...

LOL oh my goodness that is part of Parktronik!!! For almost 3 years on my Parktronik, I’m only able to use it once, and said to myself, I can park faster than it! Though, the distance beeping is quiet useful for my garage. I use beep check to know how much more i need to pull up when parking in...

Thanks both for answering. It almost sounds like CarPlay is really all that I need. Also another quick question, is the distance sensor, the one that starts beeping 1.5 meter or closer, I did not see any option for that. Is that a standard feature?

2 payments away and counting to re-enlist a 2017 one. One question though, if I have a barebone without multimedia package, what’s the likelihood getting a GPS module attached to my screen? It’s just a bit easier to read the factory monitor than my phone from time to time.

Basically what they meant was if the case is to find another B class, I would have to find a B class dealer to buy off my current lease. In my case, the dealer I spoke to, does not think they can sell it with profit + they are not b dealer. This would be a dealer transaction as oppose to MBUSA...

No good news from me here. Spoke to the MB Dealership finance manager in WA and there hasn't been a lease pull ahead for B Class, the car does not have positive liquity so dealers don't take them either. He did recommend checking with dealers in OR since they are the b class dealers about...

I'm still in progress finding a dealer, but the sister site for VW e-Golf is getting really hot enough that I'm debating if MB Is worth keeping. Specifically the MB Service charges are not going to be friendly in a long run... I'm seriously thinking about turning it back in for either 2016 or...

Definitely. Though, this MB dealer advertise pull ahead deals. Pretty sure all we have is just to ask :) https://www.mbnewrochelle.com/lease-pull-ahead

Thanks Jeff for starting this thread! I have 2014 B-class ending March 2017. Only other thought is Tesla 3 but like the body of the B Class better. Given the recent drop on 2017 pricing I'll soon begin talking to dealers about pull ahead lease. My lease purchase option at the end is around...

This is interesting. My lease ends in March 2018... trying to see if I can exchange mine with this and extend my lease for longer. On the other hand, i'm hoping that are close to the end of lease and already working with MB financing about the buyout. Maybe this should be a topic itself!
