Corrosion on doors
Some rust perforation on driver's door. Warranty has expired. Take the car to MB Weston and they found more rust on the other doors as well. Anyway they repaired it for FREE which would otherwise have cost me $900. They also clean the interior for FREE.
Now I can enjoy the summer ride.

No, the grille is all the way mine. $160 from ebay. Good quality though.Usually they give pens and posters or some additional work for free like wheel balance. Once in a while can get baseball caps or coffee mugs. Once I got a thermos. Jealous?

they did it for free because I think they had to, not so much because theyliked you (though they may). I believe your car was covered by door corrosion
service campaign. did they mention that at all?

didn't apply anyway, since my review was probably for US vehicles. then again,
since it was a recall, it may have still applied past the warranty period anyway.

Me too. My local dealer has given me a lot of freebies, and I didn't even buy my car from them, and my car is out of warranty. Parts Dept. also gives me wholesale price on everything too. They have earned my loyalty for LIFE!No stealership for me!

When i was buying the car i told the dealer it was a b-day present to myself, so he threw in CD changer and rear foldable seats as a present from the MBUSA.

Ummm...are you really saying that W203s will start to rust after 6 years? Not looking forward to that. Tell us you stored your car at a car wash or in a river to reassure us, okay?!

Admit I am a bit lazy not to wash the car more often... and the road salt hurts in winter.
