Tach, guys! Now the car rusts away under my butt, that can’t be true… I was really busy on the weekend and after a long time brought the car to high gloss again. What I saw then (apart from the stone blow in the windshield to the right) drove tears into my eyes: After the clear varnish on an area of 1cm2 has already peeled off on the bumper at the front right, it now has the tailgate and the ladder left and right G of the panoramic roof caught. The friendly one meant: No problem, 7 years of rust guarantee on it. Just repaired. Have the same problem also with A and B-Class, so nothing extraordinary. Well, 3 years old car and already rust stains from inside out. It is almost like with my neighbor, there are all 4 doors rusted away with his Opel Meriva, and that after 4 years. With a few pictures.

Hello, since February 2009 I drive an R320 CDI, first registration 11/2006. My flying carpet now has a mileage of about 35,000 KM. Actually I am very satisfied and enjoy the ride comfort and the many technical helpers. Now my first contribution starts with a (at least for me) exciting Knüller: On both rear doors I noticed in some places “paint underwalk”. I am not talking about small lacquer inclusions, but partly b is about 10 cm long, irregular fine “branches” on the door sides, which is facing the body. Pretty close to the welding-sealing or adhesive seam of the doors. Last week I was at my Mercedes-contract workshop and asked for a visit to my doors. The friendly body builder immediately informed me after paint density measurement without abnormalities, that it could be a kind of corrosion. A new appointment for the “damage up” hme” I have now on 27.08.09. Then a “Kulanz-Request” should be created to Berlin, for the purpose of taking over costs for repair or for two new doors. I think I will insist on two new doors, after all we speak here of a vehicle, which is not yet 3 years old!!! Dr. Z. gives after all 30 years guarantee against rusting (well, he is not yet through…)! Does someone have similar experiences on his R-Class or can give me tips on the further procedure?

Yes, why should two current students (I, 27) and girlfriend (30) be firmly convinced that an R-Class is the right car for them? I guess I’ll have to go a long way to do that, and hope for some honest advice later. But first I have to clearly praise this “enclave” on motor-talk, it seems to me that a lot of great people are represented among the R-Class drivers/buyers. At least I have such manners that prevail here, in hardly any other Internet-F R-drivers seem to be at least rather “unusual” people. If you are looking for a serious advice, you have to become very personal at first, I don’t think so bad at all. So I am a trained automobile merchant at Daimler, graduate in economics. Analog to my girlfriend, very committed, on the best way to a state exam. I guess that there are a lot of academics among the R-Class buyers. We two are unfortunately the first in our families and therefore rather rational, economic and commercial to think. Nevertheless, I need a motivation for the rest/degree of my studies, and what could there be more beautiful than a great car? But now to the point, I think it is very witty as a merchant to buy a used R-Class. After all the semesters of the studies, cycling, noodles with ketchup etc. I would like to treat myself/us also something. ps to step, the prices for used R-classes are in free fall. Too bad on the one hand, because the car is totally misunderstood and the sellers often don’t understand it themselves, the market certainly doesn’t. Nice, however, that we as a young couple (both in higher service) can afford such a great, safe and flexible car. I plan to buy the car rather cheaply, to keep it for a very long time, still have a lot of fun and safety with it. To get to the job would be eig The use of a bicycle is almost exclusively private, for hobbies, holidays and for pleasure. Which R-Class, with what “important” equipment would you recommend to keep in mind? I would also help if someone honestly reported why he likes his R so much greeting, Felix

I say goodbye to the R-Forum. I am finally rid of my Sch*** car – after years of trouble and constant visits in the workshop *jupiii*joy* Since certainly not many R-Class are changed, I would like to keep back with concrete statements and not put the list of defects online; and it is sea very long! Too bad, because I was very excited about the ride comfort, but the R-Class of my opinion is not suitable for our big cities: – Parkplat zsuche can disperse – some parking garages are absolutely taboo …. and fuel consumption is simply no longer up to date!
