Godspeed, sir!
Do us guys in here a favor. Start taking notes about the conversations you have with any and all of the people you talk with as this roofing event unfolds. Then post your book in here. It will be far lengthier than any of mine. I don't want the rep of being the biggest novel writer in here anymore.
C'mon man, you gotta do this for me as an ex-Burgher and poster buddy, OK.

I will definitely keep you all posted.
Good luck with your procedure.

Oh jeez. Go-Lightly is terrible.
And when people tell you that the prep is really the worst part, believe them even though you may be skeptical. I've been through two of those. The most important part is having a firm plan in place with the person driving you home on which drive thru to hit within minutes of leaving the parking lot. You are going to be starving. Trust me on that part. Good luck!

Good luck, you'll be fine in no time. But this was a LOT more than we needed to hear. We're doing arbitrations and roofs today.
Hey Mod guys, where's the filter. Didn't you get a whiff of where this could go.

I liked my doctor for the previous colo: he put salsa music on the cd player and said he would be dancing during the procedure.

And, not matter what, if GG does not like the outcome of arbitration, he can then file civil suit. I'd wager a jury would find in his favor.

He said he could give me the name of a firm that had a good reputation with going up against car dealerships when people had good supporting documentation like he said I did. He had almost no doubt that they would take my case and win but it would cost me more than the 3 grand that I lost over selling the car "as is" compared to with a working engine. When I asked him about suing for attorney fees too, I was told that was not an almost guarantee win situation and if I wanted to go that route I better have even deeper pockets and it could take years to settle out. Again, with no assurance of winning. All the while paying for counter motions that would have to filed due to the dealers attorneys filing their motions.
In the end he discouraged me so that is when I decided to go into the "jmonroe vengeance mode".
What little I know about the car biz, I know enough that a handful of lost sales that my dealer lost, and knew he lost because of my vengeance, cost him more than 3 grand. Now, that did not put 3 grand back in my pocket but at least I got some satisfaction about it.

Couldn't find anything, but did a search inventory with a postal code and a whole bunch showed up.
I guess you are good to go with delivery. Maybe you can take a picture and post it. Just don't wear that jailbird shirt.
IMHO, Mercedes made a huge mistake eliminating the 6 cylinder version of the E Class for US consumption.

Our roofs are flat, torch-down roofs. After an inspection it was revealed that:
(1) We have no cant stripping at all
(2) None of the metal seams are sealed in the roof caps
(3) The torch-down is installed at a 90 degree angle (instead of a 2-45 degree angle) because there was no cant stripping
(4) There was no vapor barrier or membrane installed on top of or underneath the plywood, but rather the torch-down was torched straight to the plywood
(5) The torch-down material is actually cracking because it was over-torched.
(6) Roofing material has almost completely worn away at the scuppers because of the 90 degree angle - this was the source of our leak.
Basically, its a miracle we have only had one small leak in 3 years.

Not always. That is another type of suit.

Dollars and sense?
I'd pay a lawyer the price of a traffic citation if they'd guarantee the racketeers would get nothing.
The 6 cylinder E400 with 329 ho is only offered in Canada this year. It will look like an E300 with the 4 cylinder engine. My guess is they couldn't make enough E400s this year to fill the demand in the US, so it will probably be offered in 2018....and will probably be the exact same car. You can see it if you use the Canadian MB site

Mike, like I said to explorer, they had trouble making enough of these for the Canadian market which is about 10% of the US market. I think they will start making them now, and they will be available in the US for 2018.

You know, that's an interesting point. Is a defect that doesn't manifest itself on a timely basis considered a defect.

Another thing is the dealer will patch up the problem and the car will run OK for 1 year....then no one cares or will do anything.

"GetAround is an online car sharing or peer-to-peer carsharing service that allows drivers to rent cars from private car owners, and owners to rent out their cars for payment.[1] Owners set their rental prices and earn a 60% commission from their rental revenue.[2]"
So some stranger gets to beat on your car like a rental while you're at work? Why would anyone want to do that?
I get Uber, it's like a taxi but this ride share service sounds like lending your car to your no good BIL to abuse.

We had La-Z-Boy sofas in our family room that lasted quite a while. The one I usually sit on and nap on (and occasionally sleep on all night) wore quite a bit after, maybe, 5 or 6 years. I really don't remember how long we had them. The other one was still in pretty good shape.
We replaced them 3 weeks ago with La-Z-Boy again since we liked the style and the previous ones lasted fairly well. We also had to wait about 2 months to get them because we wanted a tough fabric that would wear so they had to be specially made. We told the sales guy that they would be in our family room and what kind of use they would get.
The fabric on one of them has started to become "fuzzy" for lack of better words. I asked at the store where we bought them and they said it is normal and to use a sweater shaver to remove what they referred to as "pilling". My wife shaved them today and it helped, but did not cure the problem.
Anyone else have similar problems or words of wisdom? My wife is fit to be tied and wants to return them. I can't imagine either the store or La-Z-Boy agreeing to that.
I guess, in essence, this is a potential buy back, but I suspect a car buyer has more rights.

In your case, I would argue that it was defective material and they should replace it. But good luck with that.

Anyway, in the high-dollar aerospace situation, engineers often spend a fortune making everything "perfect" when almost no one notices and the spec didn't require it in the first place.
