Some real drama queens on here. The owner doesn't owe anyone anything. And to be frank, going by the tone of his posts, this whole "ordeal" was blown way out of proportion and he was completely willing to let it go as no real harm was done to the car anyway.

Woow, a lot of drama in this thread.

This Black Series is now officially famous

But it would seem that the new owner of this car is not willing to discuss it and from the following is also an ungrateful jerk.

Hence the ALSO posted on Autoblog and probably on Jalopnik. You need to learn how to COMPREHEND!

Maybe it's you that is the ungrateful jerk... The owner of the vehicle has absolutely NO obligation to disclose the resolution/compensation!

Roswell · 04-17-2012, 07:48 AM

Yeah, this thread needs to end as the owner of the car is happy with the settlement.. and doesn't need to made it public.

At this point, no one should care about who should get the credit for the compensation as the owner is walking away with an awesome car with extra "goodies" from this.

The only losing party in this ordeal is the dealership as this incident is all over the net now. I got friends driving all sort of cars e-mailing me links about videos posted on different sites... not good for Star Motors for sure.

I just thought it would have been nice if he thanked us for helping him realize what was done, which allowed him to gain compensation. Imagine the car has Tanny problems, or the LSD which only has a limited lifespan anyways fails early... theres a few $K outta the pocket. The guy seems like a huge dick anyways so it doesn't matter to me anymore.

God...you sound like a fat chick begging for a compliment....

There is nothing out of pocket for tranny or LSD.....4 year/80K warranty

Leave the guy alone already and let him enjoy his new purchase

Hey Unclebunkie, it would have been much better if you didn't have to post that last comment...Way you treated us is like when we open the door or hold the door for next person and that person doesn't even say "Thank you." and just go like he is some kind of king.

By the way, It was this thread that Autoblog found, because they did put it reference to mbworld.org at the end.

Maybe they gave him the car for free and he doesn't want anyone mad. Then you would really call him an ***. At the end of the day it is between him and the dealer.

noodleman · 04-17-2012, 11:14 AM

i don't see how Unclebunkie is a jerk in all this...there's no need to go into the details on how stars motor handled the situation....just that it was handled and unclebunkie is satisfied with the resolution.

it's really no one business.

If I were you, I'd be thanking the forum for their vigilance. They did YOU a great $ervice. Enjoy the drive.

Can we just take out our AMG for a spin and forget about this thread!

It did its purpose and no need to go on......

If I were him, after being called "***" "jerk" and all sorts of things, I would have simply shut up and leave them whine as much as they want

clkwork · 04-17-2012, 01:47 PM

I must say that he handled the situation with a lot more tact than I could have... then again the wheels were greased so anything's possible. I would still never buy or service a car from that dealer and it certainly has tarnished the reputation of all Mercedes-Benz dealers in my opinion.

I wish COMAND had a tracking mode that would record the path and driving conditions of the vehicle while it was in service in such a way that it couldn't be removed by the joker taking it for a spin.

I agree with you... but that's not how it played out (try re-reading the thread).

Das Geld 2 · 04-17-2012, 05:25 PM

Notice how all the Canadians are the ones who say he doesn't owe anything.

In other cultures, you become in someone's debt. No wonder the world doesn't respect/acknowledge Canada.

vastermind · 04-17-2012, 06:32 PM

lol this thread started off discussing the car and went into the whole matter of ethics and corporate governance, now it just got heightened to the whole deal of the country of Canada.

Let's just chill out and hope the owner is enjoying his new ride and be glad that our effort as a community prevented a unforgivable matter from being hidden to the public =)

Pickles · 04-17-2012, 06:46 PM

VERY informative thread...excellent responses from all forum members..IMHO.
This sort of stuff should NOT happen.
The response by the owner is to be admired, no doubt about that.....however, mine would be somewhat different.
The owner seems to be a guy who has done well in life, & this car may be simply "another car" to him.....so he may not be as emotionally "attached" to his new car as I would be......NOTHING wrong with that either. But, for sure, I would be really unhappy.....because this would be a "once in a lifetime" purchase for me, & for someone to treat MY car like that, would well, at least, it'd cause me to be very angry.
Cheers, Pickles.

BAD430BENZ · 04-17-2012, 06:59 PM

i can't believe you guys are still on this

the owner was taken care of by the dealer and he is now enjoying his car

game over.............
