    Anyone want to buy a watch?

    LOL Alan - I have been saying to Mrs JT all week - 'I have someone watching my watch' - there must be some kind of word for this - is it 'alliteration'?

    Anyone want to buy a watch?

    As I no longer have the car, I don't really want to hang on to the watch! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4969468150&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT Thanks! JT

    First MB, not as expected

    Collected cheque last night for full purchase price, plus Tracker subscription, one weeks hire car charges and they also paid the £115 to transfer the cherished plate back onto retention. Shame they weren't keen to find me another car. I have ordered something else non Mercedes now for 1st...

    John I am very upset about the whole thing - I thought Mercedes ownership was something to aspire to but on the whole, it has been no better than other marques I have owned. Most of the dealerships around here are all part of the Drayton group so I doubt I will have another - I am probably...

    It's over. I have been away from my phone for an hour but Mrs Jesters Tear took a call from the dealer to say that they were preparing a cheque, which I can collect tomorrow. They have not even attempted to try and find us a replacement car. except for the pile of rubbish I looked at on Saturday.

    First MB, not as expected

    Been back today, their proposed replacement was very poor. In fact, the salesman had left a message on my voicemail telling me not bother wasting a journey to even go and look at it. I have told them that unless they can find a new 180 with the same spec as before, including sport pack, rain...

    Thanks Glojo, everything from my side has been done in writing, by fax as well. Unsurprisingly, nothing has come from the dealer in writing at all. Nothing. Every time they confirm something verbally, I have confirmed it back in writing to them from my perspective if you see what I mean...'I...

    Car has been returned today. Have no transport now. Have been forced to hire a Renault Modus for the weekend. The dealer did offer to allow me continued use of the tainted car but I wouldn't for fear of prejudicing legal position and in case I had an accident in it...no other courtesy car...

    Have spoken with the dealer. They have sourced another, this time black. Unsure of exact specification but hope to view it this afternoon. Mileage unknown at the moment although it is a demonstrator and of similar age. Will update later if anything newsworthy materialises... JT

    Thanks all, what a great crowd. I can give you a little more info. I started to hanker after a C during the Christmas break, we set ourselves a budget of £20k and I set to hunting down pre loved (ok Shude? ;)) specimens via the MB website. I visited our nearest dealer on New Years Eve...

    Alfie, for sure you are right. The car is beautiful, and of the highest quality - it is simply damaged, imperfect. The dealership has not been communicative at all today though - I haven't had a call following my fax at 11.30, not a peep.

    First MB, not as expected

    Update - independent body shop appointed by MB been out to inspect, not aware of the background to the case - he was very helpful and shocked at the condition of this '12 week old' car - he backed me up nicely. Culpano, thanks for the moral support, I want another for sure, it's just a bit...
