My personal opinion is that a Mercedes dealer ought to
act in a courteous , high standard manner which reflects the
'status' of the marque it markets.
In other words ,these nice folks should spin their wheels and find you a like car with a starmark-like warranty.

It's not like you lent it to your bro' and it got wrecked.......D'oh.

good luck
