Mercedes will drop you so badly when you are out of maintenance plan! Buyers of Mercedes Beware!

I drive a Mercedes E350 Coupe and sent it in to get a quote on some work which includes brakes and a shock. My car is out of maintenance plan and the quote for just this work is over R25000 and this is supposedly with retentions input! What an utter ******* Mercedes is. I used to drive Audi before I made the fatal mistake of investing in a Mercedes. Take if from me an Audi at twice the price of a Mercedes is a good deal. Mercedes will drop you like a hot potato when they have your money and their service can't hold a candle to Audi. The arrogance of the company and their attitude to retentions is astounding. Can't wait to publicly burn my Mercedes and get a car from a company I can believe in. To all those business people looking to buy a Mercedes let the buyer beware x 3 . . . you will probably be a very sorry customer like me!
