Thank you everyone. So I negotiated £300 refund for everything mentioned. Not a huge amount but ok to get things sorted. I must admit this dealer is for sure not as helpful as the others my friends used. Lesson learnt!

EXACTLY MY POINT! Including friends you are now the 4th or 5th person to have received a car in such condition. My friends father refused to take the car until it was looking like a showroom condition. As I said, my deal was so rushed hence this happened but it means they are still responsible...

Thank you ever so much for your replies! I didn't think i'd get this much help!:eek: So i'll write to manager and take it from there. All I will ask for is for the breaks to be looked at and another full inspection carried out. The rest I will have to digest till the warranty repair appointment...

Thanks, i'll include this in my email to start with. All the issues apart from alloy one all points to simple checks which were not carried out on the car. Half of it ok will be repaired under warranty. But a misaligning boot lid which does not go into perfect place, was a massive hint: NOT...

:) haha, I love the car. Annoyed that I trusted Mercedes to have found these faults or help me repair them. As I said, I can live with the bootlid for me to repair under warranty, also the chips ok. But now worn break pads!? Me thinking the breaks are spongy from factory now makes perfect sense...

They offered £150 good will after me asking for it as I would drive it off like this, then have the hassle of making an appointment at a local dealer to get it repaired etc. Also, the fact they do not need to fix it and then deliver it a few days later. Yes lesson learnt, was not worth the rush...

I was about to buy from a different seller. But Mercedes rang me and said this just came in, it had not even been listed online. I went and saw it, and it was everything I wanted. I got a decent deal thinking at the time. Was waiting for the right car for ages. It was 6pm closing time almost and...

It was purchased last Friday, so 9 days ago. I'll be sure to write an email to the manager now and follow it up tomorrow

At the time they had the 19" 5 spoke alloys. I didn't know the size. I wanted the bespoke ones you see on premium plus's but he told me these are still 20". It's only when I went home and saw on the OASIS sheet it mentioned someone had paid for the 20" bespoke alloys. This I can live with though...

Hi So I recently purchased a used and approved Mercedes car here in the UK. I was told the car had been inspected as standard. However, the car had a few small chips on it and I was of the opinion these get repaired before sale. Furthermore, the boot lid did not align. Mercedes offered me some...

I don’t think the 2013 has a electronic gear lever and if you’re stating it does change eventually with message going off it does not seem like a fuse issue. Electrical issue yes. Fuse boxes are scattered around the car. Save yourself the headache. Take it back. Lol. Trust me

Well if it is the same message as me a few things first. Is yours a post 2014 model? W204/205 Granted it does not change gear but does the gear lever move as normal. Does it produce the normal smooth clicking movement? If so, the gear lever is fine and don’t pay to get it opened. I was being...

I would be happy to. I sorted out both issues some time ago. What issue are you referring to? Stuck in gear or airbag warning?

So I purchased the ebay emulator and just fitted it on. Then cleared the codes using a MB diagnostic kit. Sadly the error goes away for a few seconds and the message returns! What can this be? Really stuck now on what to do

Brilliant! I was looking for this as a blind buy and hopes it works for my issue. I was again hesitant because people say it causes the seat belt alert to turn on but your link shows two connectors and perhaps is the 2 in 1 product. I’ll buy it and try it. Thanks so much. Will update if it’s...
