C250
2013 C250 major issue, need help/advise.
Against my inner instinct, I broke down and purchased the wife a Factory Cert. Dealers Demo 2013 Mercedes C250 w/8k miles on it, back in late Jan. early Feb. of 2014. Ran good for first 5-6 months.
Since that time, I have had to take the car back to service center 4 times (Yes i said 4) for ignition coil and spark plug failure. Were talking about plugs that have an 80k life span on them, burning out every 2-3k miles. Any Ideas? Should I just contact a lawyer under Lemon Law rules? Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

I would do whatever needs to be done to get out of that C250. I would talk to the MB dealership (and MB North America) first to see if they are willing to buy you out of your C250. The most likely thing that MB might be willing to do is buy you out of your C250 for a good deal on another CPO MB.
If that is unsuccessful then I would consult an attorney about possible "Lemon Law" proceedings if that is an option in your state.

Mercedes C250 Coupe
I purchased a CPO MB C250 1.8 liter 4 cylinder about the same time you did. The dealer indicated I would get the balance of the factory warranty plus one extra year.
I would think your issues would be covered under these warranties.
If you are still gun shy here, perhaps the second post (trade) is an alternative.
I've driven my little coupe just under 4,000 miles (odometer read 23,000 at purchase), but - other than an inoperative lighter/12V port (a fuse probably) - I've had no complaints.
Read your warranty(ies) one mo' time, amigo
