Just bought a CPO Mercedes AmG ml63 25k miles for $60k They gave me !5k for my trade in so im financing $46k at $759 a month. is that a good price for that car w those miles. car is fully loaded w tv's and every option.
Now for the issues.
week 1
-Weather strippoing/molding on all four door peeling "they replaced"
-big dent pushed in found near drivers door lower part. "they fixed w/o repainting. which is a good thing!
week 2
- idler pulley just seized up needed to be flat bedded from 28miles away $240 from AAA. Car is being fixed as we speak
- Corrossion from the wheels same as other members have mentioned on this forum... https://mbworld.org/forums/ml55-amg-...corrosion.html
-Just found out they sold me the car with new pads but the front rotors were at 33.9mm and the mandatory change out spec # is 33.4mm. thats 4000 of an inch![devil](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/devil.gif)
back rotors were at 24.9mm and the change out spec is 23.4mm
1.5 inches away![nix](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/nixweiss.gif)
The cpo manager already said the brakes were within spec and they were not going to replace as per my service manager, my sales didnt step up to the plate for us and ask so i had to hear that 3rd party![action](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/action1.gif)

Ther nickel and diming me on this already.
they sold me the car and now its my problem. its been 2 weeks!

wish i could say somehting to help but i cant. i am reall sorry to hear that. my experience with ML has been pretty painless after almost 4 years. I guess some buyers are just plain unlucky.

Thus the reason the car was traded in?? Didn't you see the accident damage BEFORE the purchase??

I think you just got bent over with no lubricant and taken for a ride you didn't ask for! Too bad you can't lemon the car. You need to have a talk with your sales rep and the manager ASAP!

Rotors are fine...that's what "MIN" specs are for. If there is no brake pulsation, don't worry about it. The rest of those items should be covered by your cpo warranty...the wheels should be taken care of by the dealer.
