since this thread is getting side tracked anyway, ill join in!

my family has 2 benz e500s one is a 04 and one is an 05...both are piles of junk which are constantly in for service...faulty sensors, oil leaks, harmonic balancer falling off while driving, air suspension problems, side mirror motors failing...garbage! not to mention the crap service we receive from only having 1 benz dealership near us...they give us ford focus' as a loaner car!

we had 2 lexus' before (ls400 & is300 wagon) and we had about 1/16th the problems and we always got great service from the dealership and always got lexus loaner cars...a lexus ls460 and a gs430 will be replacing both mercedes.
