- A207 E250 cabriolet 2012
I have just sold my 46,000 mile 63 reg AMG Blue efficiency C220cdi and replaced it with a 62 plate e250CDi cabriolet.
When I purchased my C Class 10 months ago from Cheltenham Mercedes I had to get the dealer to replace the bright finish side rubbing strips under warranty due to corrosion under the plastic coating.- also the wheel centre caps.
2 weeks ago when I purchased my cabriolet from Mercedes Bristol I asked the salesman to check the condition of the side rubbing strips and wheel centres before delivery (the car was brought into stock for me from Carlisle). In fairness he did and the centre caps were replaced. The first time I washed the car after delivery I noticed that the bootlid chrome finisher above the number plate lights was showing signs of micro pitting. This was readily replaced under warranty a couple of days later ( which shows that the parts were available in UK stock as they were at the dealer within 24 hours).
I am quite surprised that 2 newish cars of this quality have had bright work issues.
I wonder whether this is a common complaint with modern Mercedes in general?
