Have you gone to the dealer yet with your problems? I think your car's still under warranty.

It's a Mercedes. The key is to find out who the best service writer is and make that your best friend, send him Christmans, birthday cards, booze, you'll be spending a lot of time with him.

BTW, just dropped my car off again today for my 20th loaner. Not too shabby for a 2002....

If there's no other dealer in your area, maybe you could have them show you that some of the other 230's on their lot do that too? Also, are there any other 230 owners around you? They could give a comparison too.

I still don't know what you mean by kicking back, but everything you've described sounds not-so-normal. You've put down a good amount of cash, and lazy service people shouldn't stand in the way of your being happy with your purchase.
