Extended warranty should be considered mandatory.
while i've purchased extended warranty on my last 3 vehicles (2 Kias, 1 Hyundai), i have yet to use it...i buy it more for "budgeted price" and peace of mind, than it being mandatory...it's pretty sad that a brand that used be known for building cars like tanks is now making them like glass.
When you've lost the argument, admit defeat and hit the smite button.

I howled with laughter when I read about faulty seat bracket welds.  Our 1998 E300 had seat brackets that would crack and break and let the seat come loose.  FML.  20 years later and MBs making the exact same goofs?

C63 with the 6.2 or GTFO. The Japanese can sell you a much nicer car than the rental spec C classes and you wont have to worry about the FGC boogeyman.
Lighten up Francis.....

Ah yes, good old German customer service. ;D  I had a Lufthansa employee tell me: We do not lose baggage, you must have made a mistake. ::)
