to whom it may concern: I would be very careful about the EDP, these people are rather and impressively irresponsible once they (dealer and MBUSA) have gotten your money. If you do not want any troubles in court in regards to the quality of the product, I suggest you buy your car here and use the warranty they give you here. Their car warranty in Europe is useless and their customer service with some exceptions is rated from 0 to 10 scale on a "3" grade. You will have no support from these people in Europe unless you are a European and to tell you the truth, I am really thinking of buying a Japanese Lexus the next time instead of a Chinese Mercedes Benz.- Don't say nobody told you when you have a problem with these people.-

Replying to: rick92 (Jan 08, 2008 10:20 am) The only difference is that since you are taking delivery in Europe, certain new vehicle taxes are avoided - hence the discount.

Replying to: robr2 (Jan 11, 2008 8:53 am) I have driven Mercedes Benz in Europe, Eastern Europe and South America and their grip, feel, and touch are different when driven at high speeds. An specialist in Sindelfingen tells me that some of the components for US Specs are different. The car made for the US Market is not made to withstand speeds over 110 miles an hour for long periods of time and therefore some of its components including the fuel system where the first one to go is the NEW fuel pump. We in the US set the standard. We buy more Mercedes Benz than Central Europe all combined. These people in Stuttgart should be investigated by US Authorities in regards to safety, reliability of its vehicles and I am not talking about warranty and highway safety.

For all of you who have interest in the Delivery Program: When you get to the factory to pick up the vehicle, you go through TOR 8, which is basically entrance 8, very nice, go to reception which is an open space, no security, you are taken to an specialist, you are asked to for the paperwork given by your dealer, passport (funny, they don't ask you for a driver license), then first tour starts at 10:30 am, you comeback at 11:30 am, by that time your car is ready for delivery, you sit down along 20 or 30 people from all over who are doing the same you are, somebody calls your name, you go into a big service area, they show your car, answer any questions, go over the insurance, gps (which will have the european maps downloaded after April 2008 - so they say), give you a garmin gps if you are a kind person, and tell you, for the first 750 miles don't go over 80 or 90 miles an hour which is BS because it all depends on how many days you are going to be there, right? It is something like, here is your new jet, the ceiling is 41000 feet, but for the first 100 hours, dont take it above 30000 feet and no more than 400 miles an hour.

Replying to: mike02 (Jan 14, 2008 12:42 pm) Remember, if you lose it, the box is yours and they sell it at the factory for $500.00 because it even has the Mercedes Benz name on it, it does not say Garmin. Have fun and don't forget to read my previous post. |
