My lifetime dream was of w210. e240 elegance.Coming back to reality I think maruti has better parts, reliability, service.Merc has pathetic quality of rubber parts which gives way for oil n fluid leakage.
Engine rubber seals get hard within 3-5yrs and then u have the expensive and time consuming repairs. You need to wait for 15-20days for the parts and parts the size of a wedding ring and in rubber cost 2k-3k, be prepared to book a new car not a merc and I think that would arrive sooner than the parts and would be cost effective even if you shell out 3lakhs.the service guys dont hear you.go by std procedure.check lights n aircon for oil leak.and then tell u to wait till evening for an estimate of repairs.sundaram motors Bangalore is worse than a govt office. Billing takes 45min and is lethargic.They think the wealthy were born rich with b in place of brains.Selling off my car asap.
