i for one think that timmy has no reason to lie about this.
i simply think that since he has a digital camera, a picture of the repair bill and police report (or any other documentation he has) would end the drama once and for all.
the veracity of some of your responses is simply incredible.

Oh this thread is hilarious!
Easily found out though...someone just call into the dealer and see if there is a blown engine been replaced...they can't have been asked to do that very often, if at all!

I spoke with the MB rep today, he said that since it was not a flaw of Mercedes Benz, but rather that of the dealer I would have to take it up with the dealer

I will take pictures of the repair bill tonight and post them. I will even give you the number of the repair shop for you duobters to call! I dont have any pictures of the car when it was wrecked, yes I DID have a digital camara then but since the body shop was more than an hour away I didnt feel like driving and hour just to get a few pictures. The police report on the car jacking is on file with the charlotte meck police dept. Since it has been more than 3 months I will have to pay $35 to get a copy of it. theres no way in Hell i'm gonna pay $35 just to satisfy you people. If you don't believe me, then you don't believe me.
As far as, the blown engine I'm not sure what paperwork I will get. But I will be more than happy to take a picture of it as well, whatever it is that I get. I'm really hoping for them to buy my car back so I can get out of it. I'm ready to get rid of it anyway. S4 maybe....
GirlMB: do you have a Mercedes? I havent seen you around any. Please post pics of your mercedes, unless your digital camera gets stolen!

Ppl. really gotta give that boy (Timmy) a break. The board is a place where we come to talk about our cars and related stuff and its the internet; people are not always going to give all the personal info (I wouldnt). Timmy, you dont have to scan anything to post here to prove it to anyone...you posted a thread...if people are interested in it they will view it...if they feel like they need to respond they will...there'll always be ppl. that will be @$$....dont take it personally.
And I'm sorry about your engine blowing up (happened to my 82 Corolla while trying to race a Grand Cherokee
) and my parents were reluctant to get me another car but I persuaded (hence the Chevy but whatever).
Bottom line if your parents can afford it (or if you can but I doubt) get an S4....the previous model (99-01) 2.7L bi-turbo AWD. Susp ($1000) upgrade, and chip/exhaust ($1300) will get you into 13sec 1/4 mile.

all of this discussion in this forum makes me sad....come on guys....i know at least with the blown engine that he is not lying, but even if he was, does it change your life or your day in any way? then why waste your time bashing him, its not worth it in my opinion. The problem i see is that even if he proves himself to you on all accounts, yall will question everything he says here. its just really not worth it, but because i do feel this is all so stupid, i want to clear up the whole engine thing. Please call Beck Imports : you can call the 800 number for the sevice department, (800) 204-1640. Not sure how much information they will give to a complete stranger, but if your persuasive, im sure they will tell you what you want to know. I mean i understand the annoyance of someone fabricating stories, but some of yall are just getting way too upset about all of this...if you dont believe him, why bother responding to the thread? maybe drop in a small comment questioning him about what makes you not believe whatever it may be, but badgering him just seems a bit immature.....im not here to cause a problem, im not here to make enemies, i dont have a problem with anyone here, i just thought that since i saw the thread and knew the answer, i would pipe in, and in the process, i felt the need to throw out my $.02. Im back to the CLK forum though, yall take it easy...
Regards,
Eric

im not sure about that. ive totaled a car of mine once. it made me sick to my stomach, still does to this day nearly 5 years later. i dont think i would even look at the pics if someone else took them for me. there are some people that think that way. im not taking sides, im just stating my thoughts. every car ive ever had ive taken very good care of them, and they somehow get a special place in my heart. some more than others. thats just me though. also some people have a little more exciting lives than others, we are all individuals. either way, its fun to read. im sorry to hear about the eingine timmy, and i hope that will fix it, if thats what you want. if not then have them buy it back and get the yellow S4, then you wont have to put up with the abuse from this site!

If that doesn't work, tell him you're going to call the local TV station to see if their investigative reporter can get you a better answer.

Timmy, screw the people here that make a hissy fit over little things. the site does have a vast amount of info, so i can see why it would be hard to leave. i do think MB-BOB has a great point. i would make a little threat if they dont do things the way the should. they dont want to pay for new engine, well if they didnt hire some idiot then they wouldnt have to. that is in no way your fault. if it were me, id see what i could do to get the 2.3L back in there. for you though, my advice is to try and get a 2.3L back in but if you find an S4 with a 6 speed, take it. you should hold out for a manual trans dude!
