:: * :: DREAMS DO COME TRUE - Thank you gents and ladies! :: * ::

Someone did not get their car new nor straight thru the dealership then... Glad I did and I love my car and THANK YOU!

Dang that would suck for someone who did own a nice Mercedes, I made that mistake with the last one.

Mercedes is above BMW sweetie. That paperwork looks familiar from my last.

What about the Rockin SUV Toyota? lol Let's say an 04 or so that is flooded from Louisiana, now that's someone who is doing bad business!

I was saying my Thanks and you did not even help so what is your concerns?

After calling MBUSA and explaining the situation (that I would never buy another Mercedes) they issued a credit to the dealership to do the work for that price since I was such a loyal customer (16 bought new through dealerships thus far).

The dealerships are not the best as they try to make the most money as they can in the service department but the company is good. They bought back a 2004 SL55 from me in 2006 (with 7k miles on it) when the dealership could not figure out why the service engine light kept coming on. Something they do to continue customer loyalty. Especially considering they have serious issues with the balance shaft going bad at an early time. The key to getting good service like that is always have it serviced by a dealer. Even when (like in my case) it did not call for it based upon the miles. If you have one oil change done outside of the dealer network and something goes wrong later. Yep you will be stuck paying that repair since you in their eyes voided the warranty.

Ok, like with any car things happen. Nice advice for next purchase, I will be sure to let my GM know to do a nice oil change for me and let me know when my car needs to be traded in, but at $45 K well spent I don't see much going wrong anytime soon sweetie.

All good points thou to others wanting to spend their hard earned money wisely. I got what I wanted and dreams do come true! There is no need to be concerned, I am a bit wiser than I may come across.

But congrats on your new ride Dreams I hope it came with the heated and A/C seats to keep your hot ass cool, don't need to burn a hole anywhere.

Dreams got the car she wanted...she's happy about it...I'm happy for her!! Can't wait to take a spin in it with her!! Why can't we all be nice to one another? It's really not that difficult. Dreams, love you baby, always! J

I agree with Jaytee, if Dreams is happy with the car she has dreamed about and finally gotten, I am very happy for her. How many can truly say their dreams have come true, and she worked hard to have that happen.

Congrats, darlin', you deserve it and all the happiness that comes with it.

I sure did and I gave it my all, it obviously didn't please you all but thank you to everyone who gives a care, I am happy about my Dream car and of course I will take you for a ride when I see you babe and turn on the heated seats... Opps, I mean the a/c because I need it to keep my hot ass , kool? heh

I have love for all of you.

I am proud of you for achieving your dream. Just want you to be well informed on the issues that can possibly occur. I would hate for you to be caught with your pants down (and me not there to drool)

Thanks for noticing the work and effort I put in babe!!!
