Wife was declared allergic to our W203 (due to it's exposure in Wisconsin). We decided to get another car and we ran into this one this past Saturday.

It was kind of unexpected. We originally had an E350 on order. However, someone backed out of the 55 and we get a pretty good financing deal on it, so we jumped on this opportunity. It is a Designo Espresso edition as well.

Did you have the luxury air conditioning with the charcoal filter ?

I hear that ozone treatment pretty much kills everything in the car including smells from fungus or spilled food or smoking.

You cant use the car for two days during treatment and you have to air the car afterwards. Wouldnt cost much to try.
