I bought my first M B, in 1997, a 1995 C280, that spent more time in the shop then my garage.
I sold in January 1999 about 3 hours after the ad hit the street. I gave the customer all the service records,and she still bought it.
I sold it for 25,000 about 6,000 more than the dealer would give me.
We bought a 1999 C 280 that has been great,except for the dealer.Recently they replaced the windshield and left the interior covered in black dust with glass shareds on the mats.
In July we bought our 1991 560 SEC from them.They said they did a134 point check on the car. Just out of there 30 day warranty the front breaks went. 1,000 miles since there so called check and the brakes were worn out.
In four years I have bought 3 cars from this same dealer. Well never again.The SEC has such low milage,and is in such great condition that I couldn`t resist. But never again from this dealer.
There Service Dept. has been repeatedly terrible,they use a shawalla to wash cars!!!!
I can get parts cheaper and quicker from Caliber Motors in California,3000 miles away!!!!!!!!!

I`ve heard Kia has great service and a 100,000 mile warranty!
