Do not buy a used car from Mercedes Benz of Stevenage
Purchased a £20k Mercedes Benz GL Class and an approved used car, promised that it would be properly prepared mechanically and cosmetically. Upon collection - after a 130 mile journey! Was told vehicle ready - had not been properly cleaned - old sweets stuck in door pockest, not vacuumed, old leaves in wheel well, grimy fingerprints on visors etc - the vacummed the wheel well and left the rest - their excuse was they needed more time, there was no restriction. On driving home, judder spotted on test drive had not been rectified. Had to get car cleaned on way home because it looked like we had bought it from a back-street garage. Garage will not pay for re-valet and have not decided what they are doing about the wheel balancing. Dealer Principal promised to call back - he didn't, he actually asked why we took the car! Very poor - steer clear or refuse to pay a deposit unless the car is prepared to a proper standard. Worst experience I have had - this does not happen with BMW or Lexus!!!!!
