How about this for a NEW!!!! car. E300e In the 1st year of owning the COMAND system failed. Hence no mobile, no radio, no maps not safety controls basically a black screen AND A VERY UNSAFE CAR. After 4 weeks in service it was replaced. 18 months later same issue - replaced again. Exactly 2 years and 1 month later COMAND fault again. Here's the kicker though, the replacement COMAND only has 2 year warranty and guess what Mercedes said. YEP. RIGHT. Out of warranty. Bear in mind this E300e we have owned since new IN 2020 and always serviced by Mercedes has only 46,700Km on the clock and now everything is billable. Guess how much it costs to replace the COMAND module ....198,000Baht equivalent to about $7,000 US Will I buy another Mercedes...NEVER. Let me repeat that NEVER!!!!!!!!!! So our next car is a BMW 530M Sport that comes complete with 5 years unconditional warranty and 5 years complimentary service. OH YES... foregot something. Mercedes do not provide the first service as complimentary...they bill you for EVERYTHING!!!! Don't get me wrong the Mercedes looked beautiful, was lovely to drive but we paid an arm and a leg for it. But its Mercedes. They do not stand behind their product. Everything is your fault and they try to bleed you every way they can. Mercedes product warranty. FACT or FICTION? You choose!!!
Cap ! I own a C class for 2 years , it’s on 260k km and i’v had 0 problems. Two of my friends had the C250 and they loved the experience . Don’t think twice before buying it! I don’t think there is a better can at this price
Idk what hes talking about with the A class. First off, the A classes have always had a cheaper interior. Its the entry level car. If you go look at a 2014 2 series or A3 youll find the same materials. I guess idk much about the A 250s, but the 45 AMGs have pretty damn good reliability scores for what they are. I picked one up and its been flawless so far. I bought a 2014 CLA 45 with 50k miles on it, took it to my mechanic and had them look over everything and it was perfect. Have put almost 10k miles on it this year and its been flawless. Just gotta make sure you can afford the maintenance, its definitely gonna be more than your average compact car. I suspect the reason they have more issues is people buy them thinking they'll be like any other $30k car, and then cheap out when they see how much maintenance is. Just a theory, though.
