General Comments

This was my 3rd mercedes, but soon after taking ownership of my 200k Mercedes Benz C Class 200K Elegance I started to notice the extremely noisy engine, rattles, vibration at speed etc etc...the list goes on. It has taken 8 months to eventually sort the main issues out - and it's still not right, and will probably take another 8 months!!
However, I have now given up and cannot be bothered with the continual hastle with the dealer.
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise this new model is not a true Mercedes, no better than any Ford or Vauxhall (no offence to Ford or Vauxhall), they have really cut corners on the quality front.
Plus...don't be fooled by the "rock solid" residuals from the salesman. I paid £19k not even a year ago, even trading in for a new Mercedes, £13k is all they will offer and non franchised dealers are even less. I think it's time to get out of the Merceded circle!
