It's an old, sad story: it's the automation, the outsourcing, the competition from Japan, the global market, etc, etc... In the Old Days an MB was fit together just so, like a fine piece of woodwork. Every part was so well connected to another there was no place for a rattle to happen. My 25 y/o 123 is rattle-free. It's a lost art. | ||

I looked at the interior of one of the new caddis and was suprised how bad the interior was. The really high end cars Rolls etc still have this workmanship but who can afford those? | ||

Indeed... when my new Mercedes was in the shop for something else, I mentioned a squeak, and the SA told me that squeaks & rattles are not covered by the warranty | ||

I just turn up the radio, but I'm not sure how long I can do that... loud music isn't so entertaining as it once was heh heh Ohh... the aging process. Did I mention my left shoulder pops whenever I move it a certain way? | ||
