MB Loan Car

[shazzya45]

My AMG is due a service very soon. Wanted to know if i would get anything other than a manual/auto bug standard A-Class that my local dealership gives.

My experience is that you get whatever loan car they have same as everyone else.

Mention you're thinking of trading up and you never know they might push the boat out, I find its usually a sales person car they give you. I've had a top of the range C Class convertible and a fully fitted out C Class estate before.

From my experiences at MB Brooklands this year I have had

Smart
B Class
C Class Saloon
C Class Estate
And all base models with bugger all fuel in...

(All warranty work trips)

They used to give me a clapped out A class, in the mean time a mate at work takes his Lexus IS250 for service and they give him the RX400h

With respect...
It's a bit difficult to see how a dealer could match every customers car with an equal model. ?

Be grateful for anything....better than walking or taking the bus

I've had an E63, DP's 730d and 650i but I've also had a C class estate, C Class vert etc

I remember the days when a loan car was called a courtesy car!

 

[c43amg84]

Mercedes say they will not hand out AMG vehicles as loan cars due to insurance reason. I did ask.. I asked for something other than an A-Class they hooked me up with a B-Class

When I owned a BMW and it went in for a service the loan car was always a series or two above my 3 series .
The last 4 services on my E350cdi Coupe the loan cars have always been A Class cars .

Whenever I sent my Porsche into the dealership for a service they always gave you a really nice upmarket model above the one you own. I think it was a very clever ploy, I didn't fall for it but my mate bought a Panamera Hybrid after getting one as a courtesy car

MB are pants for this - best I had from my local dealers were either the E220d (was really nice with the new digital screens) or C350e - which had epic off the line acceleration, but ended up leaving me stranded when it wouldn't turn on anymore at Co-op!

Audi on the other hand... S1, S3, TTRS, RS6 (let me have it over a week and put 1,000 miles plus on it) and an R8 V10 Plus.

I ask them to pick up and return my cars, I don't bother with loaners.

mercedes are pants when it comes to loan cars. mostly always an A-Class, however I have, once, had a new E220d with all the toys (which was very nice) and also very recently an A45 AMG, although this was 1 week after the purchase of my E63 which had a couple of issues to be rectified after collection.

Surely as a minimum AMG owners should get an A45 as their loan car, or even a C43?

Definitely,

And a baseball cap, a keyring with an AMG coffee mug.

My last loaner was an A-class and I was disappointed in how cramped it was - my last time was in a mk.1 A-class and it was light and spacious. I am 6' 6" and looked like an elephant crammed into a dinky toy.

Brooklands gave me diesel A-class, horrible car. Epsom was a bit better: GLC diesel and then brand new B-class. Now I just walk 20 minutes or take a bus. I never took loan car from Audi, they offered me diesel A3 manual when servicing S8 and wanted me to pay for insurance.

I usually just wait for the car. I don't need a loaner anyway though I have been offered a couple over the years.

It used to irritate me that you can pay a premium for this but at least the car gets priority, probably to keep me away from their "free" coffee and biscuits.
