it was a 52 plate and it was 18 months old when i got it driving it home from the dealership i believe it was the compressor that literally fell off the merc garage came out and got it from 6 miles down the road then i had it back about 2 weeks and the electric drivers window packed up when it was fully open when i was out for a meal one night in london so we had to go home as i couldnt find a space anywhere near the place the same day i got it back from them it did it again then when i got it back again it did it again a week later then the battery kept draining and they traced it to a fault in the main screen inside mercs exact words were "we dont know what it was but taking it out and putting it back in has seemed to have cured it!" wrong back again then it just died on me pulling onto a duel carriageway that was an ecu fault and apparentley that was common for that car and the last straw was when the engine management light came on and stayed on despite 3 trips back to the dealers so it got px'd in for a 55amg that my mate wanted from there and i swore that i wouldnt ever touch another merc again. As a foot note my mate bought one exactly the same year and spec and he had so much trouble with it that 6 months later merc gave him his original purchase price back for it, they are fast but the performance in no way justifys the outrageous fuel that they drink they dont handle well and in my opinion they are not a good car at all
