only 11 miles?? WTF did they do, go over the curb leaving the dealership? or did it get snagged somehow on the hauler?

Came like this fresh off the boat!!!

Well, at least warranty will cover it.

I can't believe Mercedes would let something like that leave the plant in that condition......

or someone on the boat screwed up biiiig time.

It didn't come with the whole suspension torn out like that. The broken stud was discovered during the pre-delivery inspection.

so then how did it break?

so then how did it break?

Not sure, I didn't over-see the production and shipping of the car from start to finish. :smile:

I see Mercedes has completely revised their rear suspension set up.

Well maybe you should... :p

Good ole Chrysler :(

Free Daimler-Benz!

i love ur mercedes dealership stories blindside. Especially the one about the SLR mclaren and all the steps needed to just replace the spark plugs. I heard some parts of the mclaren engine is made out of 24k gold, is this true?

God mercedes quality sucks. I still don't understand why you would buy an E-Class intead of a 5 series of GS. Cool pics though

Not any of the actual engine parts, just the lining of the Trunk/Hood, Gold is good at reflecting heat.

They can't all be winners!

:eek7:

Huh?

Huh?

:lol2:

I've noticed a severe drop in Mercedes quality levels since they started using the faster, cheaper production methods they aimed to learn from Chrysler in the Daimler-Benz/Chrysler merger. While Chrysler quality is great for a Chrysler, it's not so great for a "premium" auto demanding premium prices...

Old Benzes were bulletproof. I say split up the merger!

Isn't Daimler-Benz what they called it after Daimler Chrysler merged with Mercedes Benz???

Daimler-benz was the name of the origional Merc-benz company formed in 1926.

I would agree that they need to split up, but my point was that you have Merc to blame for that, not Chrysler.

LMAO :)

Amen. I figuire this would be a good time to say that Cadillac has totally OWNED Mercedes, as well as pretty much every other competing company in the world when it comes to quality. The new CTS, STS, SRX, and CTS-V (all made here near my beloved home-town) totally kick the asses out of all the competition quality-wise. On the last test, the only company the beat Caddy was Lexus, and they only beat them by one point.
