I get your passion for a Benz, I've had it for years. Oddly, spending a bunch of hard earned on one had cured me. Just because you take it back and back and ask them to fix it
DOES NOT mean they will fix it.
Our C250 is not at all flash. If I'd bought a Great Wall id be unhappy that I was dumb and skimped out. But i didn't I bought a Mercedes Benz. For the price of 4 Great Walls.
In the last decade we have had 2x AU's, 2 x BA's, 1 x BF and 1 x SY Territory. They have not been faultless, but between them they have had less faults than 1 Benz. Excessive oil consumption, uses water (coolant), steers left, blows blue smoke, radio changes channels when you flick the climate control quickly, exhaust rattles, ipod integration failed, LED lights failing. Thats all I remember for now.
But even thats not the issue. It's Benz's lack of service. The car has been back to the dealer several times with both the dealer and I've followed up with Benz Australia. Apparently our car is fine. It's not.
So I can sympathise with Fairlaneman, however our is not a 98 model. It's 10 months and 26K km old.
For all the Ford bashers on here, dudes, the grass is not greener.
