New to Mercedes new to here! Hello!

[scottief]

Hello and thanks for my approval to join your thriving community of MB enthusiasts. I've always been a SAAB man and I have to say I was devastated when the company folded a few years back but it was then an orotundity to look for another special something...
I've always loved Mercedes and when I bought my last Saab new I looked at the C class but it was just too expensive to kit out to the same level as my Saab Aero TTID so I went with that but now she's up for sale 9 reliable years later because I have a lovely new C250d AMG Line on the drive and I LOVE it!! I'm like a Cheshire Cat grinning when I drive it because it's so lovely. The build quality, the kit, the look (I'm gushing sorry lol). Anyhow, I never thought I'd own a Mercedes so I'm chuffed to bits and I can't wait to get stuck in to the forums!

Welcome, also had Saab's, 900 model then 9/5 3.0 turbo estate, well built like my E class , like you am very happy with my first Mercedes which I bought without ever having driven one until I went to collect it. Did buy it though from a family friend for £10 k. 4 years old with 26 k on the clock, a steal as they were £14 k in dealers at the tine. Best car I have ever bought

Thanks @smart320, coincidently I did exactly the same much to the surprise of my wife. Went on the fact I loved the look of the interior and exterior and that at the time I couldn't drive as I was (and still am) recovering from a broken leg so couldn't drive Knew though that I would love it and having watched every review and read the manual cover to cover before it arrived, I was well prepared! I have found my new favourite marque for sure.

I'll take some photo's and post them! It needs a clean already from the delivery drive but it still looks fairly pristine from the showroom.

Best to start your own thread under the general discussion or body work sections? Rear door hatch would seem a good place to start. Water does tend to migrate quite bit from its origin so can be tricky to find. Basically anywhere there's an " orifice" for water to get in. Another candidate might be one of the rear light clusters. You probably need to remove some carpets /trim linings to get a clearer picture.
