Re: Your Mercedes has 11 miles on it......

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

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

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

Re: Your Mercedes has 11 miles on it......

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?

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