You may remember me telling you of how a female friend had bought a second hand Merc A-class, how I felt it was **** and then 2 weeks late the engine failed.

Didn't tell you with Chrimbo and all, but the dealer ended up refunding her and she has a far superior Feista Zetec for half the money now (and half the mileage).

Good on her. It's good to see that not all dealers operate on the 'caveat emptor' principle

Well the dealer had to be reminded of the laws governing sales. It would have cost him

Good news.

Oh , and hows the Microbe going?

The Micra is going well, although so far she has only managed to rack up 532 miles on it!

Result from a merc dealer - they are usually rubbish for customer service irrelevant of whether you're a smart driver or a merc driver.

It was not a Merc dealer, she bought it from a second hand car dealer network. Her new car is from a different dealer all together.
