My 2nd 2020 S560 in less than 90 days

Welp

Let’s try this again. The car I leased In May 2020 turned out to be a Lemon. Horrible car that had over $20k in warranty work done.

Mercedes really stepped up to the plate and did what they were suppose to do without getting any lawyers involved. I asked for a buy back 3wks ago and was able to pick up my new car on Friday.

Let’s hope this one is better.

I love that color and those wheels. Good to hear you had a great outcome.

Could you remind me of what all went wrong with car #1? Just curious.

Humming noise between 50 & 60 mph - replaced rear differential twice

Very hard downshifting in sport mode from 3-2 and 4-3 in comfort mode - tried to manually adapt 3 times and replaced valve body.

Car “sputters” as if it was going to cut off while coasting in traffic

Thanks. I was torn on color. My 2017 was obsidian black and I loved it but wanted a change. This time is was between Selenite Grey and Silver. Selenite is still wearing on me. My wife wanted White but the off white didn’t appeal to me.

For the wheels, even though I love the look of the 20inch AMG rims, I live in suburban Philly and the 19’s are more practical with our winter weather and the amount of pot holes.

That's great the MBUSA got you into a new car with little hassle. Just curious, in your last photo (could be the angle) what's that Rover doing?

Some idiot pulled up on the grass at the dealership instead of finding a parking spot.
