That's just man maths though - the monthly payment is only one part of the equation so does not mean very much. You also have to factor in the initial payment, the term and what the remaining sum is to keep the car (on top of how desirable the car is anyway in terms of spec and options).

Doesn't look like this thread was ever updated with the final outcome - OP went to the Ombudsman and won the case. So common sense did actually prevail.

Split folding 40:20:40 rear seats are standard on the W213. Distronic came as part of the Driving assistance package which was a £1700 option and therefore not on many early cars though I believe was standard on facelift models (I do have it my car but have not used it even once). The...

There is a class action against MB in the US for smelly aircon. Doesn't unfortunately help us on this side of the world. I had the problem as well and had it professionally cleaned.

I had one of those for 9 years (albeit in Sports trim) and cannot recollect spending anything on it beyond service costs and a replacement battery. Rear suspension was beginning to drop randomly overnight but indie was unable to diagnose the fault since it didn't happen all the time but I px'ed...

Million dollar question is .....how 'cheap' is cheap?! Prices for all the bits but, unless I missed it, not for the actual car. Just curious 🙂

Firstly, just to empathise with the situation you find yourself in. Got to be the most bad luck as why would the oil just be discarded from a relatively new and properly serviced car. As you say - dealer has already shown their extreme disinterest and in your shoes, I would bite the bullet and...

From a US forum - seems to suggest that it's not that uncommon and with pointers towards fixing it.

Well this web page seems to imply that you can't actually get the build date from the VIN and that would likely need to go through a dealer.

Below is what you are looking for. Assuming that's an OEM grille (btw - they call it a 'grill' as well in the video 🙂 ) then look like a bumper swap is also required which would make it a very pricey mod especially when you factor in paint work. As said readily available on the continent...

As you point out, FMBSH does not mean that everything was done. Issue is, even when 'added extras' as you put it have actually been done, these do not always get added to the electronic service history by the garage.

DAR 7H on a black and very stealthy looking G63 Wagon.

As said - transaction done as a distance sale due to lockdown. So on request, I received an email detailing the date, mileage and servicing dealer but then strangely absent from the DSB. I am guessing that they maybe have an alternative method of looking this up - when retrospectively added...
