WHOA !! its become moreso i got into the position id already spent too much and though to spend a little more would make what was already spent more justifiable......i think that was about 8,000 ago my hopes are that ive gotten myself on a level that i have a good car.theres plenty of kia"s i couldve gotten for much less.......hard to admit it but i think im more o.k. with the choice i made if kia or moneypit mercedes were my only options.the part that kills me now is that it very well could use new exhaust,,wheels,,,,windshield,,minor body work and paint,,,plus a thing or two that escapes me at present,,,,theres another 10k,,,,,aint gonna do it though !!! not till it needs it,,the scratches on the passenger side from a mailbox clipping really hurt,,,it looks like a really hot chick who got punched,,it just aint right !! but,for all my crying i still love it !,,,, B.T.W. my service/repair C.D. is on its way !,,,,COULD YOU IMAGINE THE CRAIGSLIST ADD I WOULD POST WERE IT FOR SALE !!! THATS RICH

Sounds like the dealer is rapping you bad. You should have gotten a brand new crate engine and crate trans for less then $18k! Heck you can buy a 3 year old C class for $18K!
