Your dad shows great wisdom, learn from him.

 

Thank you C2Jones!!

They are pretty reliable complaired to other makes. I've had good cars and bad cars. Manufacture doesn't mater

 

Agreed!

 

That pretty much common knowledge
You'll "visit the workshop" about twice as much in a MB vs. a Lexus or Infiniti, at least according the that JD Power survey, which really isn't bad in comparison to the opinions from some around here that MB's have 3, 4 or 5 times the number of problems as Lexus or Infiniti

 

Like I said before. It is a matter of opinion and how the survey is filled out, as well as a persons expectations. Ford owners may not be bothered by the same things as MB owners or BMW owners or even the beloved Lexus. My parents own a Lexus and even though there are some quality control problems they would not complain becuase those things do not bother them. Were a person buying a Benz and wanting that Benz image may ***** about these little issues. A person owning a POS Ford, which I used to service and my family sold for years, may not ***** because they do not expect perfection. And while we are on Ford being so good, then why is the company faultering and counting on a new F-series pickup to increase sales and profit? A company that in the automotive news in the last few years has had quite a few lawsuits and loses and re-calls than any other manufacturer. But the people Surveyed must have been too backwoods hickish to think there are any problems. The vehicles we used to service had more mechanical problems that the Dodge's we sold and I think Dodge's are pretty bad. So much so that we got rid of that Lincoln/Mercury line as fast as we could. And then the dealership that bought it went out of business cause they could not sell them. Gee, what a shining star of a company. The only dealer for 60 miles and they can't give the crap away. Buell go buy a Ford and I hope it runs great.

 

I love how Jim gets very defensive, its funny. No matter what reasons you tell us you will always be a sell out to us I wont write anything more though because then everyone here has to see you analyze and quote line by line and try and validate your self. Man, we are all sick of that. I wonder what his quote will be for the infiniti forum " MORE RELIABLE THAN A BENZ" ? You might as well leave this forum man.

 

Hey they may be unreliable but the C240 and E320 both have 5 star crash and rollover rating by the NHTSA. Not to bad for a Benz, of course they won't roll over or get in any crashes when the are in for service so that helps as well.

 

ROFL, that is a good one. Keeps the miles down to.

 

 

Yes, BenzOwner02 (a.k.a.- BANNED benzC240), I am a Benz Sell out I'm also a Toyota sell out, a Chevy sell out, a Geo sell out, and a 6 time Ford sell out! All these cars were bought, used for a few years and then traded in on the next car. What are you, some kind of anti-trade-in ****? Yo, stop the playa' hatin' you fool!

 

Just want to thank everyone for the many laughs I got reading this thread......y'all must not have enough to do at work, at home, etc.

How about debating a solution to world hunger, the federal budget deficit, or anything else useful.....

Found at a Volvo site.


How many "surveys" are there? (obviously to many)


If you like it : Drive it
If you don't : Sell it

Everything else is

 

Webhost, the survey you referenced is for "initial quality" (problems reported after 90 days ownership). The survey starting this thread is for "5 year dependability". Look at the large gaps between Infiniti and Nissan on both. Weird! Lexus and Toyota are much closer. Look at Hummer on the Initial Quality survey. What a DOG! THat is, if you put any faith into these surveys.
Go to JD Power's website and you'll see ALL KINDS of different surveys, some of which have MB near the top!

 

Jim, now u proved to be a true Idiot on this forum. No I am not a ****. If you accuse me of that then every one here who owns, loves and is loyal to the Benz type is a ****? Geez, this guy gets worse and worse every post. Well at least he only quoted once not the 10 times he usually breaks down our replys

I have to say Jim did a good job, he caught on quick and did not mention lexus nor infiniti in his reply. Well, I guess I taught you well Now lesson number 2, why don't you take your non loyal fake Japanese buying butt out of this post. This may work guys, cross your fingers

By the way, who the hell is benzc240 that I am accused of being? Did he try to kick you out of this forum too?

 

u guys made me

 

noblert, congrats on winning in that race, post more pics

 

shut the f uck up noob

 

Oh, what's wrong Noblert, cant you take a joke? Funny, this guy can make a joke but cant take one. First I was only kidding, second be a sport man, don't be moron as you have displayed

 

who are you with your 20 posts making jokes at me

 

No, dork! Only people who think that once you buy a certain brand, you must never sell it or trade it in for a different brand. Did you always own MB's? If you ever sold another brand of car, coffee or toiletpaper, only to try a different brand then YOU are a Charmin sell-out . The control I do seem to have over you is somewhat funny You can't resist making some ridiculous, ***-backwards comment after each of my posts. Are you stalking me? I'm not available. I'm married (to a woman), you know? Go ahead - make another dumb comment. YOU ARE UNDER MY CONTROL

 

Now, you know he's got more than 20 posts when you add in the one's under his banned username benzC240

 

Jim, I will leave the dumb comments to you, you are the king Also, why would I buy another product if I am so happy with what I have? For example if I find a good product I will stick to it, when it fails me then I will try another. You sit here and tell us how much your car is reliable then you wanna try another? Does not make sense? Hope that explains why you are a sell out to all of us. Also, keep the sexual thoughts to your self, im perfectly straight man. Do not get any ideas

 

true

its probably him but ill give him the benifit of the doubt.

if anyone can, check his IP

 

Ok would anyone care to tell me who is benzc240 that I keep getting accused by noblert and JIM? This guy must have really gotten under your skin. I love it. Noblert, it doesn't take more than 20 posts to make fun of you, I proved it

 

you're a ***

and i dont want to prove that
