1999 Mercedes-Benz M-Class 320 review from North America
"Never ever buy a Mercedes M series."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car was in the shop at least 12 times (that's every three month), mostly for multiple recurrences of the the same problem.
Heater/AC failed, GPS failed every 3 month, Audio system failed, interior trim fell off 6-7 times, windows refused to close etc etc.
We heard rumors that the Quality Manager at MB is the guy that played the banjo in "Deliverance".
General comments?
Worst car I ever bought.
