I have a mercedes benz e250 purchased in July 10, and drive the same personally in Chandigarh a beautiful city to drive such vehicles.
However , my first bad experience with the vehicle started when my tyre punctured. I was astonished to find such a meek looking jack with such an elegant vehicle. the jack was of such poor quality that it broke while holding the car and had to get a jack of an indica to remove Mercedes original jack out. Check out the jack before you buy one as it may come out to be inferior to even an indica.
The film on my glove box started removing within the first year. However on complaining to the company officials they changed both.The tyres started wearing off and at 20k two tyres were off and later at around 25k the brakes pads have also worn off. The company officials have suggested that this is the normal wear period for such cars.
I recommend you to keep knowledge of the periods at which parts such as above go off in cars like Mercedes before putting your hands on.
Thanks
