Good point. There's probably a slew of fine details here that we're not privy to.

MB sucks....joking

...they shouldn't have let it leak to the media...it's bad business for a company selling cars like SLR and 62/57 with those unbelieveable price tags...

I wouldn't be surprised if it was the guy telling the media on purpose, to back MB into a corner - seeing as the story's pretty one-sided, as drronh said. I expect it'll work, too, unfortunately.

Bash all you want, but I'm not of the opinion that MB is wilfully antagonistic to its customers.

My friend had a problem with his SL55, there was a front end vibration the dealer could not fix. Even though SL65 production was sold out, they built him one and gave him what he paid for the SL55. Of course he had to pay the price difference, but to make him happy they got him a car he couldn't have gotten otherwise.

Wow talk about being treated well. If only all MB dealers were the same.

It wasn't the dealer. He went to MB in Germany with his complaint after the dealer and the zone rep could not fix his car.
