C Class Loaner

I have a new 2005 C230 Kompressor Sport Sedan loaner, I was pleasantly surprised about it, for the money it is a great car. The added sport trim pieces on the exterior really improves the appearance of the car. I can't belive the amount of compliments I have received on it.

You're lucky! I took my car in for service and they gave me a Toyota Camry. The dealership said they ran out of loaner cars. But I guess as long as I have a car to drive, no worries!

Smythe ..yea... camrys are their alternate loaners when they run out..... but if u have to keep the loaner for more than a day, you can tell them to get u a benz by the end of the day.

Thanks for the heads up! When I do the next service I'll ask for a Benz. I hear Smythe usually is pretty slow and 1-2 days for service is not unusual.

im not really worried how slow they are... their always excuse to me is "they have to order some parts from germany". ... with my car, they can take all the time they want as long as it's done rite. hmm..and im loving their loaners since im looking forward to buy a 4door c-class.

my "check engine" indicator was lit before, and they took more than a week to fix it.lol.. that was in december. then they gave me a 2005 c320 with all the options and only 400 miles in it. I TOOK A VACATION!

Trade In

Hardly looking to trade the SL600 in for a C class, not enough room for how many of them I would get in trade.

Actually I have an S500 as a four door car, that should take care of it.

I had them pick up my coupe yesterday at my work and they brought me a ML350... I can't stand SUVs, and that one is no exeption (no offence to any ML lovers out there).

When my service person called me to check in, told him that I would like a MB sedan from now on. He said fine and noted my account.

I LOVE my dealer!!!

I got a ML350 loaner car last time too. I thought it was cool because i had never driven a car with a high driving position like that before.
