I hope this gets resolved before my car gets here. This is not good!

Holy RANT!!!

what a waste of my time listening to a small part of that

dealer gives him $200,000 car to drive while he waits for his ride to be regulated.. sorry pal, your life sucks

how about hire some representation and get your money back and walk away. The millennial urge to chronicle their struggles (that are real) on YouTube and social media is amazing

The YouTube user that posted that video posted here a week ago or so announcing the arrival of his car: https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-c63s-...atte-grey.html

I admit I'm struggling a bit to understand how what's happened to him is worthy of all the dirt he's kicking up about it. Did MB-Canada make a mistake? Yes. And they offered him unconditional use of a $200k car while they correct the mistake. Yeah, they should probably throw in the prepaid maintenance or something, but reading the YouTube comments (never a good idea), they're reacting like they stole his car back in the night and refused to reimburse him for it.

And there's nothing for people with cars on order to worry about; they'll get the certification documentation done in the next few weeks and all will be good. Really not a big deal.

You'll be forgiven for not sitting through all ~17 minutes of that (I threw my headphones on and had it running in the background while I did some paperwork), but he does have representation. I think that's the only part that's a bit shady on MB-Canada's part (or possible his dealer, tough to tell): they seemed to REALLY not want to just refund his money and call it a day. But OP was also playing along, seemingly assuming they would eventually tell him he could have a free GT-C as compensation.

I managed to coordinate buybacks of two custom ordered 2014 e550 vehicles in 2013/2014 without being a ***** and without a lawyer and without ranting on YouTube with this millennial drivel

google "peterubers rough shifting " and "peterubers replacement lovely"

Wow. I could only get past the first 3 minutes of his little panic stricken eyes and huffy puffy rant before I closed it out. It's absolutely nothing to panic about. Take the nice gesture from the dealership and move on. Seeing a grown *** man with his little cutesie tribal tattoos whine about his car and how tragic life is makes me nauseous.

Some people are such little soft crybabies.

Everyday that goes by and with every new annoying thing I see, I realize how old I'm truly getting......

PeterUbers

lol... I was thinking the same thing

Rayc63s

Thought it was quite early for him to have a my018.
Hope it's just that 1 particular case cause I recently received my Vin number.

The sad thing is that I'm probably younger than the guy in the video. I'm guess I'm old at heart. Or just grumpy. I don't know.

PeterUbers

either way you bring up a great point... old or old at heart you choose to negotiate any issues in your life man to man and directly with those causing you conflict. Granted, exceptions occur, but this guy has t been seriously violated and if he feels like they haven't compensated him for the "trouble" with a $200,000 car that he can put wear and tear on, then he's got much more life to live or more experience to have ... versus this reflex rant on YouTube to try and "take down the man"

he needs to go volunteer his upcoming weekend at a homeless shelter and then go back and grab the keys to that SL63 and enjoy his summer with a huge grin on his face

This is how many young folks react to bumps in the road when they don't have the benefit of a lot of years of trials and tribulations, life and death experiences, etc. Not surprising but not necessary either.

CT-AMG

Well, Im an old guy (50) and I have to disagree with most of you..

The guy bought a car and they want it back. He doesn't have to give it back and thats a legal issue in itself.

I think MB should give him incentive to turn it in above and beyond a loaner car.

If it was me and I couldn't drive it after I bought it, I might sue them for neglecting to tell me it couldn't be registered. For denying me the right to drive a vehicle I own. For damages incurred from canceled vacations, cancelled parts and damages to my reputation from all of the people he probably pissed off like tuners, wrap guys, tint guys, parts vendors, etc.

I bet if he brought a suit against them they would be willing to do more than offer a loaner car. The point is that MB messed up and he is greatly inconvenienced for it.

They should work it out with him. In addition, I think his occupation is a youtube poster so he is also being denied income revenue from being unable to document his car.

My 2 cents..

HBC350

I'm not saying the guy doesn't have legal claims and righteous gripes. I'm saying he's acting like a child and seems not to grasp where in the grand scheme of life this present conflict falls. That's all. Perspective is acquired with time and experience.

msd3075

It's not just that. If his situation truly does get litigious, he just gave a statement in a public forum for the other side to see. I guarantee that a large portion of what he said is not 100% accurate and instead is very sensationalized. He'll probably wish he had just shut up.

It's no different than everyone coming on this forum and talking about all the warranty-voiding modifications they've done to their cars. When the poo hits the fan and your engine and transmission blow out, you've just made it extremely easy for the dealership to find out your car's truth.

digitalnav

Interesting situation. Well all I needed to know was that they didnt update to the digital dash for My18 so we all have another year without the refresh

RDOCA

I would think the 19MY would be the time for a mid cycle refresh.
The S class came out a year earlier and they are having it this year.

PeterUbers

we have heard exactly ONE side of this argument - his.

"greatly inconvenienced" vs his YouTube reputation will be damaged. How much does a YouTube guy get paid? And a $200,000 car doesn't make up for this inconvenience ... on which planet?

hyperion667

I just posted info about this too....on the wrong sub forum

PaulE550

Best response so far Peter. Snowflakes like this are in for a world of pain in their lives if every time anything doesn't go their way EXACTLY AS THEY WANT IT TO BE that they have a meltdown. Seriously, dealer offers to give him a $200K car to drive until his car can be certified and he's acting as if they stole his money. Yes MB dealership screwed up, but they seem to be looking for various ways to make things right. He just complains non-stop. He complains about wanting to take his wife on a road trip and yet there would be nothing to stop him from doing just that with the SL63 loaner. Hate to imagine how he would react to a real problem in life. Seventeen minute video of non-stop ranting. Damn.

hyperion667

No kidding! Take that AMG out on a 1000 mile road trip haha......nothing falls in value faster

PeterUbers

lol ... and he can let the sl63 take all that bug splatter and chips and dings from road debris.

hyperion667

AND return it with no windshield washer fluid too haha

PeterUbers

and gank the tire valve stem caps too... and the start button....

Alex98

Dont forget drive everywhere w traction control off and launch it at every red light, bring them back a "gently" used clutch
