My dad had one as a courtesy car. Never again.
They do have a unique road presence though.
your dad had a G-Wagon as a courtesy car...where the fuck did he get his car fixed?! 
More importantly, what the fuck did he have repaired?

that was going to be my next point!
As my Dad's CLS55 AMG has just gone into get done as someone decided to crash into him, and all he got offered was some shite Merc to drive round.
Its like when Clarksons Ford GT broke down, he thought he'd get a nice car and ended up with a diesel Focus!
They rarely give out such expensive cars and cant insure them for anyone to drive.

Nothing was fixed. Just a service 
He's been buying cars from this particular dealer for a while. Had all sorts. Not like the car is his or anything, so nothing to boast about

All the Merc Garages are IMO.
My mum went in to order her CLK55 AMG from the one in Preston and the guy didnt have a fucking clue. Then refused to give her a quote in writing as thought she'd take it somewhere else, etc. So she told him to fuck off, went to Liverpool Merc and ordered it, went back to the Preston place after it had been delivered and order a baby seat from the same guy

I wanted to testdrive the SLK 350, but the fanny didn't think i was interested in the car. I left
Mercedes are nice, but nowadays they have a bad after taste with customer service etc.
Best bit is the fitties that are always on reception

Nah, didn't mean your age...I meant the age of the Merc. Bits falling off etc etc clutches etc....cars of that age are invariably expensive to maintain. And merc prices/labour ain't exactly the cheapest going
