Have MB sorted hybrids out?

Chop it in and get an R171 SLK instead - and pocket the difference in price!

Interesting the SLC is reliable, my SLC300 with only 10,000 miles from new has to date had a new roof fitted under warranty as it leaked. Since the warranty ran out I've had to replace one of the headlights as the LED intelligent light system stopped working, the blind spot assist stopped also and required a new radar sensor. All in all, I've spent almost £3000 on repairs on a car with such a low mileage. Mercedes are not interested and turned down any contribution.
To top it all, I now have an occasional warning that the brake assist and a few other things are not working, god knows what thats going to cost when it finally stops working for good. And, occasionally the roof refuses to go down or up in one smooth operation. Mercedes, quality cars, I dont think so!

The SLC is 5 years old & we have had it for 2 years, so far nothing has gone wrong. We have had 6 Mercs in the last 20 years all have been very reliable, & they are kept up to 100K miles.
I have only ever had one unreliable car a new 1972 Austin 1300 which I bought tax free while I was in Germany.
