multi point inspection.not worth the paper.

I recently purchased a S600 from a private seller. A one owner car with
lowish miles. There was a vibration when cold so I asked the seller to
have a main dealer muti point check with a request to look at the vibration.
The car was given a clean bill of health, so I bought it.
3 weeks and a couple of hundred miles later my dealer said it required a new
gear box costing 6 grand. Mercedes kindly paid half but I was left with a
bill of 3 grand. I wrote to the dealer who checked it, he said it was alright on the day even though they could feel the vibration,in fact they said " they all do this " . They offered to give a discount but it was all to late. I think the
gearbox should have been fixed f.o.c. , when you consider a 95k car 4 years
old with less than50k on the clock, the gearbox must have been faulty ,but
10 months out of warranty. I have 3 other Mercs, and will tell some home truths.

Too bad the previous owner didn't have it fixed under warranty.

This frickin' tool has "purchased" a clk63, an S600, and a '65 in the last year....

Sure, kid. Put the bong down, study hard, and maybe you will be able to afford to gas up that Renault Espace your uncle has been saving for you.

Gawd I hate poseurs.
