I agree that some of your experience with MBoA is clearly the dealership's error. Lug bolts are easy to get, but not for non-mb rims.

The loaner car service is a courtesy, as it is at any dealership. It is not required by MB or any other brand that with which I have had personal experience.

Your car is OLD. Anyone who has owned a euro car will tell you similar horror stories about cost, repair and service. Don't feel special.

Had you researched your purchase before buying you would have run away from that crapped out S-class.

Mileage doesn't matter on any euro car. They will be problematic if they sit, more than if they are driven. You know how you constantly have to update your PC? or Mac? The european manufactures build their cars that way. They need attention regularly for improvements.

Next time get a Lexus, they are better ass-kissers.

Thanks for the mortgage payment and the boat.

Luv ya bye.
