My wife is giving my a hard time over ordering a new C Class, it is not the fact I have ordered one but the apparent lack of quality she is concerned about.
Last week we had the camshaft sensor on @Marks car and last night I had a call from my next door neighbour to ask me to keep and eye on his 2 week old C250 after he had been forced to return home quickly whilst on his way to a job as the Comand started doing strange things and then started smoking. He was worried it might catch fire but could not stay with it as he had taken his wife's car to be able to carry on working.
Added to this the thread on the dark side about MB not coming up to the mark when things go wrong and after a month still not having a delivery date makes me wonder why I am spending the extra money for a premium brand?
The two items I started this thread with in my experience, will normally be caused by the bean counters refusing to pay for unit testing. This again is very worrying as that is part of the service I expect with a premium product, if you don't get that why not pay 10k less and get a similar product without the badge?
I am sure most of you will say I am concerned about nothing and just get on with it, it would be good if that is the case.
