Unhappy MB Owner?

[Smarties]

Sorry if this has been posted already, but came across this whilst trawling the web, posted a month ago. Does anyone know of the background, is it a forum member?

If he is a forum member I'll gladly buy him a few beers... well done sir!

 

[grober]

Very subtle bit of propaganda perhaps.

DARTFORD: Motorist to carry on Mercedes car protest (From News Shopper)

Im pretty sure he is a member on here, i remember seeing his posts...

“We feel offering to pay 100 per cent of the cost of repair for an privately-bought unknown car that’s not had a service history with us for six years was reasonable.”

This suggests that he hasn't even bought the car from the MB Dealer, and on that basis, doesn't seem unreasonable - there are always 2 sides to a story - and I'm the last person to defend MB!

Anyone know the full story?

I reckon I've found him!!

Good work Sherlock Is this matter ongoing or has it been resolved?

 

[ringway]

I know him!

He doesn't even own a Mercedes.

He's the MD of an "A-Board" company.

He is there taking orders.

And I was thinking he was a salesman from the local BWM/Audi dealership!

 

[robert.saunders]

fair play to him (has it had much of an impact, in reality?)

Wow i didnt know they rust amazing what you learn on here.

So bought it private no mb history and expects them to pay, bet hes on benefits as well

As mentioned above there is always two sides to a story, so whenever someone or something gets slagged of in the press im always curious what the other side/partys story would be.

Seems he only posted once on here after such a dramatic entrance too.

Is he wrong?

He may have bought privately but does that excuse:

Poor electrics
Rust
Poor customer service

He is only protesting about things we have all complained ( W210 owners anyway ) about on here before.

According to the newspaper article he says he is losing £1000 a week doing this. He's being doing it for 5 weeks.---- £5,000 would have paid for quite a decent respray?? If true I think he has maybe lost his sense of perspective on this one however justified his cause.

He had the choice to walk away when buying it. Would you inspect a car before purchase? I would. So the faults he now has should have been known about when he bought th car.
