Replacement key expense by KarenS HOST

A national newspaper is looking to interview consumers who have had to replace a car key, which ended up costing over $200 or $300. Please send an e-mail to ctalatiedmunds.com no later than Monday, April 2, 2006 containing your daytime contact information, the cost to replace your key along with the make and model your vehicle.
 
Thanks,

For all you guys in Southern California, have you heard the radio advertisement by Nick Alexander BMW? "The R Class, ugliest Mercedes ever" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. It might be a great looking car, but it was not a reason to proclaim it on the radio advertisement.
 
I personally like the R Class in Black. It looks like a hearse. Saw one on the freeway this morning and it looked great.

You mean you actually like this?:
 
hearse look
 
I'm hoping for just a little rear tweaking next year to stop the hearse comparisons and maybe get me into the showroom.

Looking to lease one soon, advice? by monty2222

My wife wants to turn in our 2004 C320 Coupe early, AND sell our minivan, to get the R. Any experiences yet with them, as for problems? Our dealer has one in each color. I liked the light blue (alpine rain) or silver. We will miss the minivan space though. Was going to look at the Infinity QX56, but their forum did not look too good about quality. Then there is Cadillac, which sounds nice. Wife prefers the MB nameplate though.

I am 4 months and 7000 miles in on my R350. Not a single issue with the vehicle. The best initial experience I have had with any of my 4 MBs. The wife and kids love the car, and it is a pleasure to drive.

That is good to hear. Have you gotten any kind of survey about it yet?

Not from MB, but from the usual 3rd party research outfits. I have given the R good marks.

I am glad to hear that. Ditto for me. My wife made it from Memphis to Huntsville, AL in 2.5 hrs. I don't think she would have done that in her fathers Chrysler T&C.
It sure is easier to justify the purchase after a short period of ownership compaired to a test drive.
It just keeps getting better.

As I tell those who ask me, this is by far the best MB of the 4 I have owned. The combination of ride quality, performance, flexibility, gas mileage and capacity is unique and unrivaled. Yes, there are some content/value issues, but there always are with MBs. Those detractors out there are the ones who "don't get it." Me, I just smile all the time behind the wheel.

Not everyone is meant to drive a Mercedes.
There is a set of RR tracks near me with an intersection immediatly after. The tracks are about 8' before you take a right and elevated about 2' or so. In any event it drops off quick and you take a right. The other night I accelerated and passed a small sports car to get into the right lane. I guess he got peaved because he sped up to get behind me. Sucker! I snookered him across the tracks at 35 mph and laid on the brakes with the wheel cut. He followed my line and ended up sliding across 2 lanes of the road and, if there had been any, into opposing traffic. In those situations, you can really appreciate the substantial engineering prowess of a MB.
