We discovered a Mercedes that people preferred for $4600, however the seller was in a-town 1.5 hours away. We requested them to create the car for their Lancaster ton so that as long as there isnot something significant wrong using the vehicle, we'd go. They mightnot take it along for around per week — she stated they'd to displace the air intake device.
We met in the ton on Friday 2/6. There is a great deal wrong using the vehicle. The chair handles about the driveris doorway were pressed in to the doorway and maynot be utilized. The trunk view mirror was free and may not be modified into position. There is a complaint within the motor area that seemed just like a power steering pump heading out, but seemed enjoy it was originating from further forward within the motor area from wherever the steering pump is situated. The valence below the leading bumper was damaged and kept as well as electric recording. The examination went out at the conclusion of Feb. The vehicle was dirty.
We did not need the vehicle within this situation, but informed them when they decided to repair these specific things we'd be pleased to negotiate the cost, within reason. For that next three months I had been touching them by telephone, looking into their improvement. They decided to do the job easily might purchase the components. I decided, and also the cost went up by about $400.
Ultimately they introduced the vehicle back again to Lancaster on 2/27. The driver seat changes, the reflection, and also the valence had been set; however the motor complaint was nevertheless there plus they hadnot done the examination. The vehicle was still dirty. We'd had enough of coping with these clowns and chose to consider the vehicle and also have it examined ourselves.
Your technician discovered numerous items wrong using the vehicle that needed to be handled for examination — a tie-rod about the passenger-side, an AIR INTAKE VALVE (recall the initial wait was simply because they needed to substitute it?) that needed to be changed to move the emissions check, and also the 'complaint' had been the result of a defective lever about the serpentine belt. These repairs combined price $1100.
Your technician also discovered an gas flow 'within the entrance of the motor, close to the cylinder head.' They stated these were unpleasant looking for/repair that which I ought to go to somebody more capable with Mercedes particularly. The quotes I Have reached restore that trickle so far ranged from $1500 to $1800.
Another point — the advertisement for that vehicle stated it'd warmed leather chairs, it doesn't.
