![]() ![]() Had they adjusted the MSRP by the $1500, it would have been a different story. The lack of notice on this was my biggest issue because I would have told them to re order it and push it to the front of the line.Īnd the $250 credit meant I paid for 3/4's of the cost for an option I coudln't use. This was on a custom ordered car - otherwise they would have told me to pound sand. They upped the offer to include a 7 year MB extended warranty. I told them that wasn't enough - they would tearing apart a car that has 250 miles on it, tearing off door panels, etc., that essentially breaks the car's cherry (for lack of a better description). Suddenly, corporate called me and offered to retrofit 100% at their cost. ![]() They got more parts just a week or two later and I told Mercedes that they could keep the car and I would invalidate the sale for lack of notice. The motors, wiring harnesses and programming were all in the car - they just didn't have the switch to control them. I raised a stink and found out the $250 credit was dealer cost of the switch. Their solution? $250 credit, for an option that cost $1500 as part of another package which actually cost $5K. They ran out of the switches that control them. The reason Mercedes delivered the car without the power folding mirrors? I had to share a very small garage with my wife's SUV. Without notice, the car was delivered without Power retracting mirrors (7 others in the USA were also delivered this way). I ordered a 2018 Mercedes C63S with every feature except the sport seats. At least the car does have 4 wheels and an engine. Buyer beware: don't trust Audi window stickers (even the ones that come with the car). The lack of prior disclosure or explanation is key here: I was just sold the wrong goods. This is my ninth Audi (going back to a 1994 Audi 90 CS) and probably the last one (I have an S3 that will go soon). Needless to say Audi completely screwed up on this one. Their explanation is that they made a mistake with the window sticker: the first 268 RS5 SBs don't have the Audi Phone box and when they loaded up the car in their system no one reflected that until after I took delivery of the car. Apparently there's no way to retrofit the Audi Phone box with the wireless charging & Apple Car play, enhanced reception etc. After a number of back and forth with Audi, they acknowledge that the window sticker was wrong and they refund $500. No explanation and no prior disclosure by Audi. I get in the car with the dealer for a quick tutorial once the car is mine.only to discover that the car doesn't have an Audi Phone box. After a quick visual inspection of the car on the delivery date, I trade in my S8 and finish up the paperwork (including the financing). The window sticker that came with the car the day the car was delivered (January 25th) also indicated no issue with the Audi Phone box. The window sticker that was shown to me by the dealer in late December indicated that the Audi Phone Box (a standard equipment) was installed in the car. To make a long story short, I bought a fully loaded Nardo Gray RS5 SB at the end of January.
