Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: bought a 2002 mercedes-benz 320 new from a dealer. the paint is peeling and rust is setting in. so far the dealer has replaced the hood and the roof. now there is more paint peeling on the right rear panel and the gas tank flap. when i inquired about trading the car in, the dealer gave me an estimate of $16,500 -- because the appraiser saw new paint on the car, he presumed it had been in an accident and had hidden damaged. the car has never been hit. i paid about $50,000 for it, with all the ups and extras including an onboard navigation system. the car only has 14,475 miles on it and is just now qualifying for service b. my friends tell me mercedes isn't what it used to be. it is now definitely daimler chrysler. including this car,i have purchased six new mercedes since 1985. i will not ever buy another one. *nm
