and it is a bad benz story. when it was electrical, it cost about grand. when it went manual, the price was not reduced.
well I am not sure about the mirror in 1997 and later models...BUT again In can't imagine with the long history of automobiles purchsed and service at the dealer in Houston thay they will not take care of all of that or at least some it under goodwill.
The dealer in Columbus I use(who I didn't buy the car from) has participated in a couple of repiars to defray my costs.Although I do have to say he got $20,000 worth of warranty work on the car at a time when it was still covered.
I actually test drove a 1997 S500 coupe with about 30 miles a bout a month ago...nice car ...but a couple of things
1.The car blew a fuse(?) during the test drive and neither seats or mirrors worked any more
2. There was an invoice in the car where the original owner had spent $5200 on a repair..of which almost $3000 was for some engine work on the top end of the engine...this work was done at 26K miles at MB of Miami where the car was purchased.

but I have seen some of these coupes pretty cheap(relative to what they were new)...I saw an S600 coupe the other day doe for 27K with 40K miles
