No thread CRAPPING? What kind of an oxymoron......LMFAO!!

 

Dave to educate you here is just one article about the 277 engine that fits into the category of NEW engine http://www.autoevolution.com/news/th...nce-74688.html note the new electronic control unit you so outdatedly pointed out as being problematic, note the new ignition coils (made by Delphi). Dave your talking and talking and not being accurate. Also if a car is about to catch fire and explode because of 75,000 miles then WTF are you even here in the Mercedes forum. Actually I have to figure out how to put you on ignore. You extended warranty peddlers get annoying.

"Buy this car but also buy this POS rip off extended warranty because your car is going to catch fire and explode on you at 100000 miles." GET REAL


Superpop I dont take offense to your price point of view. I dont have any need to sell my car. If someone wants something more than a regular S Class they will be interested.

 

I knew that was coming. But with all due respect, I think most see the relationship.

And you're glad you don't own a Lexus because of this rule?

 

No, I am glad I have no need to be in a forum where they censor pricing discussions. My wifes last car was a lexus. Great cars.

 

This is not the Classified forum and this isn't an advertisement for her car. This thread would be unmoderated on CL same as here. No rules have been broken here, people are being respectful to each other, etc. If you like I can link you to a very similar thread in their LS460 forum that was totally appropriate and unmoderated.

In fact, on CL the only thing that might have gotten this thread closed is that members aren't supposed to post vehicles for sale in the model specific forum. But for a longtime member like this they would leave this alone probably.

I have 37,000 posts on CL so I know them pretty well.

 

Dave your wrong again.................... The transmission is the most humorous one since what your say never happened....... also whats kind of funny is I myself have performed nearly all the maintenance and this might surprise you but I have it documented HERE in this forum..... Surprise.


PS I reported you for your last post because this is suggesting deception when its false. your telling lies. Oh please post this carfax your talking about I would love to see it where I took the car in monthly for a year when of course that never happened and the best one the transmission change. Cant wait to see it.

 

No idea why you are taking this so personally, nor what your vendetta is against Katie but your tone and actions in this thread are obnoxious at best. And now you are getting weirdly stalkerish. Move on dude...

 

 

Dave can you provide a link to said Carfax or a screen copy?

Edit: I see that Katie22 already asked you to post it.

 

I think Dave is extremely upset by what took place at 12:01 this past Wednesday and he is taking it out on Katie.

Running a carfax report on someone else's car - that you have no intention of buying - is an odd move.

Dave - I'm planning to sell my 2016 E350 for $38,000 - if I send you the VIN will you run me a report? I want to make sure that deer incident I had isn't going to show up.

 

Would love to see this magical transmission installed in my car that I never paid for....................must have been Santas elfs doing it late at night.

Dave take your lies and run. I already reported you for slander. If I could take you to court I would love to sue your *** for slander.

 

IMO this entire thread is getting beyond what it should be. Time for the moderators to call a halt to it.

 

Yeah that sounds about right

 

No worries on your V12. Dave is thinking of the old V12 engine (M275/M285) which used to have pricey coil pack replacements. Same as the ABC. People often discuss problems of decades old designs that don't relate to your car at all
Your engine (M277) has been extensively redesigned and has none of the prior maintenance issues; same goes for the updated ABC which went from horrible unreliable to non-issue as well. Same for the transmission.

The only thing one has to deal with are the engine mounts collapsing over time (results of a high torque engine and weight). That stuff is cheap.

 

Not yet. I think the allegations need to be substantiated. From what I've read over the last couple years on the w222 forum Katie has been meticulously maintaining her car and actually doing much of the work herself. She knows her car. The allegations at this point are not to be taken lightly, replaced transmission is a serious item that could theoretically effect the ability to sell this car or adversely impact value.

 

I leave the thread open as the information is relevant for anyone interested in the car. At this point, the Carfax info and details will be useful but any posts will personal accusations will be deleted.

 

Back when we brought the car and it was under warranty I took it in several times for the snare drum sound from the heads up display that I actually fixed myself in the end. I have this documented in the forum. I also has a rear center console cover hinge replaced. I recall asking the service rep about the rear tire wear eating the rear inner tires prematurely and was told this is common and not a warranty item. That ends the original warranty.

Below are repairs that I have dont outside of maintenance (if I recall these were documented in the forum).

1. I have replaced TWO drive belt idler pulleys for about 200 dollars.
2. I have replaced one AC hose that was leaking for about 130 dollars.
3. I replaced the front radar cover due to chrome delaminating.
4. I fixed the rear tire inner wear by replacing the rear camber rods with adjustable ones. The shop that did the alignment after I installed the camber rods told me that the weird growling noise my car was making was the transmission and it needed replaced.
I took the car to the Mercedes dealer and they determined the weird growling noise was the ABC pump and they replaced that for about 2700 dollars.
5 Replaced the driver side front wheel hub for 130 dollars.
6. Took the car to the dealer because the passenger seat memory function was acting strange and would not work when the headrest was all the way up. They did not solve the problem. On the way home I noticed the seat air bladder system was not working. I took it back the next day and told they it was working when I took it to them. They said that one of the tubes in the passenger seat bust and replaced it for about 2000 dollars. I still wonder if they messed something up since it was working when I took it to them.

That sums up all the REPAIRS that the car has had in 75,000 miles. I have certainly spent a lot of time doing all the maintenance including the trans fluid flush and spark plugs. ALL this was done by myself.

I have never had the transmission replaced or repaired. I only changed the fluid and filter at 60,000 miles.

 

Hey Katie....take your slander comments and stick them where the sun don't shine.

 

On the extended warranty question. I am in Katie22's camp from the following viewpoint. If these cars are that unreliable that I don't have a reasonable shot at running without a warranty without a high risk of financial ruin then I don't want one. Having said that Katie22 has a distinct leg up on most of us given her skill set and having a lift at her home.

 

Katie22 did you purchase it with 8000 miles as implied by the video that you posted?

 

It appears you need to add MB of Melbourne and Bavarian Auto Center to your lawsuit for reporting phantom work to CarFax.

 

Where is the vin associated with this carfax?

 

Dave why dont you call Bavarian Haus and ask then if they replaced the transmission on my car. Tell them it was the car they did the alignment on and then said the transmission needed replaced. Their phone number is 321-690-1233.

Interesting that it also says on 9/23/20 Mercedes of Melbourne changed the oil. That never happened since I do the oil myself.

So the carfax is not accurate. And no the transmission was never changed.

 

 

Yes we brought it with about 8000 miles on in from a real estate guy in Gainsville Florida.

Dave I realize you did get the correct carfax for a car you didnt want to buy. What's terrible is that you insinuated that I was hiding work for a period of time which is not true. Also the carfax is not accurate because like I said the latest post said Mb of Melbourne changed the oil which never happened and then Bavarian Haus changing the transmission never happened and that can be verified by calling them. Why it says they did I have no idea.
