...have a look at these comparative rust warranties...

MB RUST warranty is LESS than luxury car competition:

MB has only a 4 year/50,000 miles RUST warranty.

Porsche: 10 years/unlimited miles.

Infinity: 7 years/unlimited miles.

Jaguar: 6 years/unlimited miles.

Lexus: 6 years/unlimited miles.

BMW: 6 years/unlimited miles.

Audi: 5 years/inlimited miles.

..don't accept less than the Infinty....

Yeah..that looks like mine....what are you doing about it. Is MB in the UK going to fix it? What model and how many Kil?

MB were very good about it, I had just bought the car 2nd hand from a private seller, it's service history wasn't complete and it had not seen an MB dealer for over 2 years. I took it into my local dealer and they measured the depth of the paint and told me they would submit a claim for warranty work to be carried out. 2 Weeks later they called me and said my claim had been approved, they collected it and fitted 3 new doors, a new trunk lid and repaired the other door, (the rust on the last door was almost invisible so I wasn't worried that it wasn't replaced) at the same time I got the dealer to do some other minor repairs and had the car completely resprayed, total cost to me £945. cost for Mercedes in excess of £2800
The car was 5 years and 3 months old with 135000 miles on the clock .
My car is a 1999 Mercedes E300TD Avantgarde auto saloon in Azurite Blue.

I am very happy with MB-UK and the way they dealt with my rust claim..
All Mercedes in the UK registered after 1998 have a 30 year anti corrosion warranty, but some dealers need a bit of prodding before they will sort out rust

Well done....I am waiting to hear back from MB Canada on a similiar claim...we'll see what they say. The car should never have rusted in the first place. My concern is that MB has dropped the quality quite alot.
