Good Points

Very Fast and looks nice


Bad Points

Must have been built on a Friday afternoon, depreciates like a brick (halved it's value in 15 months), electrical gremlins, rubbish dealers.


General Comments

2001 Mercedes Benz S Class 500 Executive Car bought for £43k worth £23k after 15 months ownership (depreciated faster than I was paying for it!). Car delivered from another dealer with 19 faults had to take delivery as they had already taken my BMW p/x ...rejected the car back to the dealers (MB of Chichester)took 3 months before all the faults were fixed....various electrical faults ..can't trust the "malfunction" computer as it often malfunctions itself? Service bills ridiculous...eats brake discs but doesn't tell you they are worn until it's too late!
Dealers a rip-off and this is after they all had to re-apply for their franchises!
MB Quality what a joke!!!

    I quite agree I bought a Mercedes 190E in 1990 assuming that the vehicle would last at least 10years. It cost me a fortune to keep it on the road with silly faults, 3 head gaskets later I got rid of it. I've has 3 Renault Laguna's since and not one problem. Mercedes are rubbish !!
