Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Summary
What does this car say about you?
More money than sense!!!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Like the car in general. Those who have a Mercedes are not at all surprised about the amazingly poor aftersales service from Mercedes. Those who don't have a Mercedes wouldn't buy one after our experience with the Dealers and Mercedes Customer Care
Would you buy this car again and why?
No.... No.... No.... Not because of the car, but because Mercedes do not want to know you once you have the car. In fact I would go as far to say that their attitude if you have a problem is "don't you think you should be grateful you drive a Mercedes Benz". The customer is always wrong and the dealer always correct!!!!
What are you likely to buy next?
Anything but a Mercedes Benz....
