anyone work at a Mercedes dealership?

or have a good contact at one? sales..

wife is considering a CPO E-series convertible and just wanted to ask a few questions..

 

No.....but I stayed at a Holiday Inn recently.

 

Pffft. No good unless it's express. Next please.

 

Depending on what it is I may be able to answer. I work at BMW but am pretty familiar with the Merc stuff. Otherwise a friend of mines wife is the Sales manager at our local MB.

 

Motor mounts go bad very quickly. Feels like engine is running on frame rails, because it is. Not fun to change either. Pull oil filler cap and look for cooked oil, then stay on top of oil changes and do them sooner then required [10k changes don't work out so well by 80k or so] or else your balance shaft will end up needing replacing. Otherwise they are good cars. Oh the actual fabric tops fade quickly in the AZ sun.

 

@GrayGhost may be able to help. Or Leslie Garrett that rides with stt

 

seems like the front brakes and wheels are the soft spots on the 550's. sent a PM to Kolbe...

 

Check on maintenance costs, even if DIY.
