Thinking of buying a B200 - Advice & Maintenance Questions
 

Hi,

I'm thinking of buying a 2009 B200(w/20,000 km) in excellent condition. The price is right, but I'm having trouble getting a sense of what it will cost to maintain the car. It is still under warranty for another 1 1/2 years - so am wondering what the average cost will be per year to service the car while under warranty and then also afterwards?

Any recommendations on garages/mechanics in Edmonton to keep the costs down?

Also - what in your opinion is the 'real-world' gas mileage for the car?

The car has beige cloth seats which soil quite easily. If anyone has these in their B200 - are they difficult to clean?

Thank you very much for all your advice.
