1) people in vallejo dont have much money ( a lot of them dont) and therefore dont have the money to spend at dealerships.
2) People just have negative thoughts about buying in vallejo we dont feel that dealerships and other places in vallejo are on the up and up.
Vallejo has gotten pretty bad with poverty and violence which I think ties into people wanting to spend money here. Just my oppinion.

EXACTLY!!!
Thats why I only buy my used Mercedes from Jewish Accountants who live in upscale neighborhoods.
Seriously though. The amount of money someone has is not an indicator of how well they will maintain a car. Some people are just cheap regardless of how much money they have. Many people who buy and lease new MB's don't really care how they are maintained and do the bare minum to keep them going while they are still under warranty. Once the warranty runs out they quickly dump the car for the new model and the new warranty coverage. Its unfortunate that many buyers like ourselves who are enthusiasts are left "holding the bag" on these cars.
To the original poster with his 220. While you spent a bundle you do have the peace of mind that you probably won't have issues with the Airmatic system for a while. There are no guarantees on anything in life and that 40K CPO car could have done exactly the same thing the second the warranty ran out. For that dollar amount I would call around to some local Attorneys. Most car dealers don't like to spend money on legal defense. When the sherriffs departent comes by to serve them with papers they will probably take the cheap route and just settle with you out of court. Additionally with the discovery process you may find documentation indicating they were aware of the issues for a slam dunk case.
