Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Very fast, smooth car and looks the business. However, a money pit over the 12 years of ownership. Full MBSH but dealer and Mercedes-Benz were both reluctant to contribute to faults, even when car was young. All 4 windows have failed at various times, exhaust replaced at 5 years of age(rust) , brake sensors fault, driver's seat needed rebuilding, indicator stalk failure, kickdown fault unresolved, one litre of water in rear door, ( I removed plastic plugs in door bottoms?), discs warp if car left while on holiday for 2 weeks in icy weather (twice) , numerous minor rattles, etc, etc. Mercedes build quality is a myth nowadays. You are paying for the name, not reliability.
