Re: [MBZ] Dealer Serviced, No Disappointments

When I had a black W140 coupe (Tarek’s former S500) I parked in a parking garage that was next to a flour mill. You can imagine what it would look like by the end of the day. That said, 040 black is probably the best paint to restore/recover. It’s pretty bulletproof. -D > On Sep 14, 2023, at

Think of it this way: Two service calls, mileage and travel time, and parts ($2500 plus incidentals.) Figure a $4000 bill when it’s all said and done. When you approach the 50% point is when we would look at replacement cost. We offered a new unit at a discount (Generac tossed in some $$$ as
