 After waiting over twenty years to buy 
my first Benz - finally getting one 
was an underwhelming exercise in 
futility.  This is a TERRIBLE car, 
built like any other Pinto, Gremlin or 
Vega - HONESTLY.  Bad build quality, 
rattles, squeaks, LOUD when driving 
it, alignment that can't be fixed, a 
transmission that can't be diagnosed, 
and a Corporate Office that refuses to 
deal with customers on ANY level 
whatsoever.  I was told their Director 
of Customer Assistance does NOT read, 
or answer his mail, nor will he 
contact any customers.  THIS is 
Mercedes Benz?  THINK TWICE IF YOU ARE 
IN THE MARKET FOR A BENZ.....
