I had that happen to me. You seem to be qualified for for lemon law. What happened to me is that I had to pay for the mileage.
My car went in at 19k miles when the first problem occurred.
The lawyer did it free of charge, and then counter-sues the manufacturer for his fees. I paid a total of $0 and got a check for the entire value of the car (minus 1500 in mileage)
I completely forgot the name of the lawyer, but there are many that will take care of it for you. if you need any information PM me or ask me

honestly the mileage is so minimal its ok.
I owned my car for 18 months and paid 1500 in mileage fees. MBUSA seems to be pretty good, as does BMWUSA (they replaced my cousins 6 series no problems asked) my infiniti on the other hand... became a 6 month ordeal.
They seem pretty legit so you should be ok, even if they do charge for miles...
you can always use a lawyer and try to waive that, but you basically get a new car for that small fee (unless you drove a crazy amount?)
Good luck, and let us know how it works out

Hey Ice, Good Luck with MBUSA and if you need a good lawyer, I got one in Encino who took care of my S550 Launch Edition and got my money back too. I got about 50 grand in return for the car thanks to him.
All The Best!

Ice: though they won't likely just thrown in CF and LSD - it is likely that they can offer you a discount by giving the dealer some trunk money. So net-net you can get the PP car for the same price you'd pay for a non PP car. Good luck - post back on what happens. Oh - and keep it friendly but stern. Sort of passive aggressive.
