#180 of 433 Re: MB-Tex [mbewildered] by bmwconvert Mar 11, 2008 (9:07 am)
Replying to: mbewildered (Mar 09, 2008 9:40 pm) As noted in my earlier posts on this topic, I intend to complain -- loudly -- to MB about the MB-Tex... just haven't had the time to do so yet. I doubt I can win an argument on how uncomfortable they are, despite how bad they feel. I do however think the discoloration issue is a legitimate defect. My hope is I can either get the front seats replaced with leather, or at the very least get some money back to cover the cost of high quality sheepskin seat covers. I suspect my kids in the back seats will have to continue to suffer.   It's a real shame because I otherwise unconditionally love this vehicle.

Replying to: bmwconvert (Mar 11, 2008 9:07 am) I agree with you. My 07 GL450 is only 6 months old but look 5 yr old. I will never buy "fake" leather again. MB says it's my 1 and 3 yr old. I wasn't aware they sat in the driver's seat b/c that seat look the worst. I've had 2 other MB in the past with leather and never this problem.

Replying to: occarfan (Mar 11, 2008 9:36 am) Its funny because back before the merger of equals MB-Tex wore like iron but looked and felt so much like real leather that sometimes you can't tell the difference. I get the occasional late 90s early 2000 MB in with a MB-Tex interior and unless I really study it I can't tell the difference between it and real leather. MB must have changed the formula the use for the MB-Tex because it is of much lower quality then it used to be. You can find Fintail Mercedes from the 60s with MB-Tex that still looks brand new but this new version starts to wear out in a year or so. Replies to this message: occarfan (Mar 11, 2008 1:56 pm)

Replying to: british_rover (Mar 11, 2008 1:49 pm) I don't think we can do anything about it, can we? I think MB knows we will still buy their product, but with leather next time.

Replying to: bmwconvert (Mar 11, 2008 9:07 am) I am also very disappointed with the MB Tex. My seats are dirty all the time from my jeans! I really think there should be a recall on them. Something is not right. Everything is perfect with the call except for the seats. If you have any info please pass it on

Replying to: andy1993 (Mar 15, 2008 10:18 am) Pretty good deal. It really depends on how much competition there is in your area. In Southern California, especially with gas prices, I know 10% off is easily had. They gave me that deal for my GL450 by phone. I just went in to pick it up. Actually, salesman agreed to it so quickly that I wished i asked for a larger discount. Oh well. Pleased with the GL. I'm sure you'll enjoy yours.
#187 of 433 any real diffs between the 08 and 07 GL450? by mhay Mar 29, 2008 (1:28 pm)

#188 of 433 Fletcher Jones Mercedes by chile96 Mar 29, 2008 (8:47 pm)
Well I finally got toi talk to the fleet mgr today who was real nice. I was straight to the point saying that the local dealer had given me $3000 off of a GL 550 but the word on the street was that these 550's went for invoice at your dealership. I indicated if so, I would be on the next flight with check book in hand. He was very polite and said that to his knowledge the most they had given off of GL 550's was $2-2500 and he definitely knew that he had NEVER sold at invoice or even near.   So I have disproved yet another internet myth - I just wish people would tell the truth on these forums rather than claim to get incredible deals on cars just to make themselves feel good.

#189 of 433 Re: Lazy Salesman at Fletcher Jones MB [occarfan] by chile96 Mar 29, 2008 (8:57 pm)
Replying to: occarfan (Mar 11, 2008 9:03 am) If you could ask your salesman telling him I know exactly which 550 I want - white/tan with entertainment in headrests, tow package, heated steerin wheel, illuminated door sills. I'd be interested as the FJ didn't pan out at all. You can reach me at fo_mcgeheeyahoo.com   Thanks for any help!
