Thanks for that DPS20K. I would have expected a franchise dealer (maybe) to be a bit hesitant, but MBRG should have known....? Anyway, you have a wonderful vehicle and from my two months' experience the car only improves the more you drive it. Sounds madness, but the driving experience does actually improve, as I believe it tunes in to your lifestyle. I love "Hey Mercedes" - I told it (her?) so, too, on a drive the other day and it said "and I like spending time with you too".... just utter madness, but so cool - the family cracked up!
I have had a great response from the people involved in selling me the car, but even they admit they are not that well clued up on the vehicle as the spec changes slightly and they haven't in the past sold so many compared to other cars on the forecourt. On the whole I just don't know why I didn't have one before - really is the best car I've ever had.
EDIT:
Vickim - Franchise dealers are great for comparison but do tend to be more expensive...
