Replying to: marky22 (Dec 11, 2007 3:54 am) What about service? Can you have service done at any Mercedes dealer? Suppose it involves warranty repairs? I can't be stuck going to Paramus when I live on Long Island. Simply not worth it no matter how good the deal is. Thanks.

Replying to: crestonave (Dec 11, 2007 5:36 am) What if the car broke down on a vacation road trip? Suppose you bought a Mercedes and moved across the country the next year? You would have no warranty if that was true. You will likely lose "perks" like free car washes and loaner cars that the dealer you purchased from might have offered to their customers. |

Replying to: jaxs1 (Dec 11, 2007 4:52 pm) oh, i checked and found out that they will waive or reimburse me maximum $5,000 only for limited physical damage charges defined as following at the time I turn in my vehicle: What is considered excess wear and use? Our lease-end process, The First Class Finish provides guidelines used to evaluate the condition of your vehicle. Here are some of the conditions that would be considered excess wear and use: - Damage to major driveline components (engine, transmission, differential). - Damage to the vehicle's frame. - Damage to the interior or exterior that is beyond ordinary wear and use. - Missing or broken parts and accessories, including optional factory equipment identified in the lease. - Missing tires, tires of unequal size, tires that have sidewall plugs, cuts or exposed cords. - Wheels that are broken or cracked. - Stars, cracks, holes or plugs (regardless of size) in the windshield, or other glass or lenses. - Failure to maintain the vehicle according to manufacturer's specifications (the maintenance must be documented). - After market alterations not installed by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Dealer. - Any condition that makes the vehicle either unlawful or unsafe to drive. Because parts and acessories of MB are really expensive, so i think this cover is worth to pay.

Replying to: toby80 (Dec 11, 2007 5:27 pm) Your auto insurance covers accident damage to the frame etc.. Doing the scheduled maintenance, not altering the vehicle, broken rims, missing/bald tires etc. are common sense. You should be able to keep your car looking good for the duration of a 2 year lease. My car is more than 5 years old and doesn't have any of the problems you listed. |
