Help/insight friends Mercedes

Now you see why a Benz gets dumped right after the warranty is over. Used lots are littered with all kinds of them even AMG versions, since they crap out pretty fast when the warranty is over. It's usually some off electrical or sensor problem, a small part but the diagnostic cost is really high. Leveling sensors, crank sensors, wheel speed sensors, suspension air pumps, bad transmissions..and more. As for her, better find an Indy shop as a dealer is going to rake her over the coals, and unless she bought from them before...as in new cars.....i doubt they will do a goodwill repair. They could care less about loyalty and fixing an older car with problems. Fix it, then dump it. I admit I've been tempted by things on BAT or Barnfinds, all kinds of cool AMG things, S600, S class, and more....then I come to my senses.
