Why don't YOU understand Jallen?

Mercedes won't show me the contract either!

I have called them twice they keep giving me the runaround, and sending me to finance. Finance won't call me back. Now I have to make a trip over to Mercedes to try to find someone in-person to try to get a contract and you know that will result in a dead-end. Why don't you understand that Jallen?

Does anyone here have a copy of the contract verbiage they can post here?

Also have you noticed the common complaint among the other folks here about bent rims, etc? This is a major problem with Mercedes. I just got a cracked rim last week, took it to a wheel repair specialist, and cost $120 to have the 1" crack repaired. They told me they get more Mercedes rims than any other car in for repair, they use brittle metal formulation that causes their rims to crack when you hit speed bumps.
I would guess the reason I "don't understand" is because before I spend $2000, I find out what I am buying. I do this by asking questions and then looking at the paperwork presented. This is something you obviously did not do. I have seen thousands of these situations and a good portion of them come about because the consumer had no idea what they were doing, did not read what they signed, and acted while making assumptions that proved not to be true. Blaming a Service Writer at this point, years later, is just wonderful if you are looking for sympathy. Factually, it would have taken a terribly prescient employee to know you would never read and would let the time run out making it your self described "SCAM"!

what da heck is PanterA ?
I have other ways to show my manhood, but sure keeping my Mercedes (and Ford T) fleet running in perfect condition helps in self-confidence.
Especially when you read on the forum about others "experience" ending to $5000 bills, when I fix such problems for a 100, or 200
