Old habits die slowly, people still love the Badge, makes them feel superior I guess. Logic does not come into it, a seemly fancy Stereo, yes please, and I love the upholstery. Can I drop the Air Bags and the Seat belts, they cost too much !
Our 104 C Class has been trouble free for the past two years, for the first three and a half I was not sure who owned it, me or the Dealership.
I was fortunate at the time that Mercedes owned the Dealership, who persevered over the three years and a half to fix all the issues. As the Manager said, my job is to set an example to all the other Dealerships. The Jury is still out !
Next Car, if there is one will be Korean or a Subaru Liberty 30R.
