I PURCHASED A NEW E-320, FULLY LOADED. HAND WASHED FROM DAY ONE TO THIS DAY. DRIVEN ONLY 14 MILES/DAY! IT HAS ONLY 40K MILES. I BABIED THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS IN MINT CONDITION.LOOKS LIKE A MUSEUM PIECE! AT AROUND 30K MILES THE LEATHER SEAT'S SEAMS CAME APART! (???) NOTE THAT I HAVE THE MASSAGE PACKAGE SO YOU WOULD EXPECT A TOP QUALITY LEATHER USED BY A HIGH END VEHICLE RIGHT? ** WRONG **. DEALER "DID ME A FAVOR" AND REPLACED IT. LATER I FOUND OUT THAT MB * KNEW * ABOUT THE UPHOLSTERY'S LOW QUALITY THEY USED. NOW, AT 40K MILES THE LEATHER TOP, LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVER SEAT IS PEELING OFF!! WENT TO THE DEALER - HORRIBLE DEALER BTW - (MB OF NANUET RT 304 NANUET, NY) AND THE SERVICE MANAGER, WAS QUICK TO SAY OH! WEAR AND TEAR... NOT COVERED, SORRY. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? 40K MILES? I WEIGHT 180 POUNDS, TALL AND SLIM. MY NEIGHBOR HAS A BMW WITH OVER 80K MILES, HE WEIGHTS PROBABLY 350 POUNDS AND THE SEAT LOOK LIKE NEW! DO YOURSELF A FAVOR MB HAS THE REPUTATION BUT THE QUALITY PARTS THEY USE - AT LEAST THE LEATHER - IS HORRIBLE. NEVER EVER AGAIN!! AND ALSO STAY AWAY FORM THAT HORRIBLE DEALER. I PLAN TO PUT A SIGN IN MY VEHICLE AND DRIVE AROUND WITH A PICTURE OF THE PEELING LEATHER AND THE NAME OF THE DEALER WHO REFUSES TO TAKE CARE OF IT. THAT, BASED ON THE MINT CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE MOST LIKELY WILL RAISE EYEBROWS. SHAME ON YOU MERCEDES BENZ!
