Doubling/increasing of free service would signal that MB stands more behind their cars than any other manufacturer. I believe that it would not only benefit MB, but also current & future owners of MB cars.
Better maintenance means a better car with a longer life; happier customers will buy more MBs.
What do you think?
100,000 miles/10 years
or
80,000 miles/8 years
or
60,000 miles/6 years

Hey, the more, the better!
Doesn't Kia have some kind of 10-year warranty something or other? I never paid the ads much mind but 10 years anything sounds like a lot.

The same is true of the warranty. The manufacturer has of account for projected expenses for warranty repairs. These projected future expenses nedd to be covered by the current selling price of the warranted product.

Hyundai cars are selling at 1/3 of the price of a MB automobile and offering a warranty that far ourshines the warranty offered by MB.
Hyundai must manufacture a near flawless car, following the logic inherent in the statement above, that future repair cost of the car under warranty are built into the selling price.
My next car will be a H(e)y.....!

Bitter is too nice a word to describe my feelings about the replacement of a radiator, transmission, trans control unit, catalytic converter, exhaust piping, torque converter and a number of electrical issues etc. 
is how I feel.My car is just sooooooooo beautiful I don't want to part with her. Now I know how men put up with some of the stuff women do. :p

Hahahha.... No worries.... u can always upgrade to an 05. I heard most of the problems were solved. Our 03's were the first year that this W209 came out so i am not surprised with all these issues~
