"It had a misfire which is why it drove perfect! All is good!"

It actually did drive just fine. The CEL was never flashing and I never noticed any hesitation or stuttering of any kind, which is why I 100% thought it was just because the gas cap was loose.

The car's been out on the lot since early October, it might just be cranky from sitting around for most of 4 months. Maybe the battery was down on charge and that tripped a misfire code somehow on startup. But it's a gamble I don't want to take if I don't have to.

I already told diller I'm not interested.

Clearly you need a $10k Range Rover Sport

here I come.

I dunno. I don't hate minivans, even after driving one for 3 weeks. Come at me.

They are rather tho. Can't have any fun in them at all. But you could probably comfortably do lines of coke off a stripper's ass in there, so it's really just a different kind of fun.

I think the Triplicate child support tab rules this course of conduct out for the next 18.

Pacificas have kick ass sound systems and are pretty quick.

I absolutely hated the Pacifica I drove in California for a week.

Yeah. It drives like a limp dick made of hung over taco bell turds. Bangin stereo and nice interior doe.

Are you serious about the van?

I have no idea, I just want something cheap. Living in the 'burbs and depending on a car for every little trip has turned me into feeling like cars are nothing more than appliances. Just get me to the damn grocery and get my kids to school safely please. Get decent gas mileage, be safe, and don't cost me $50,000. Otherwise IDGAF.

Have I mentioned how much I hate car dealerships sometimes?

There's a Toyota dealership close to the house that has a base G8. I don't want a base, but all I wanted to do was test fit the car seats. I walked into the showroom and like 6 dudes heads turned at the scent of fresh , and one guy walked over.

He asks, "what brings you in today?"

I of course tell him my wife and I are expecting twins, still have one rear-facing and that my car isn't big enough for all 3 seats. That they have a G8 that might work but I'd like to test fit the car seats.

"What are you hoping to accomplish today?" Just told you motherfucker.

"Are you planning to trade in your car?" Maybe. I have it listed privately as well.

"What's your timeline look like?" I tell him I won't need something bigger until May or so but would like to take care of the car purchase before then.

"Let me go see if I can find those keys."

10 minutes go by. :crickets: Dude disappeared.

I walked out.

Mercedes dealership officially won't let me do a PPI.

I might understand the policy on a nearly new SLS McLaren, or maybe even something off-lease and under a manufacturer-backed certification, but one that's as-is with no warranty, that's 7 years old, has 85k miles and costs $16k?

Can’t they do one ? Or do you not trust em ?

These are the people that said the CEL was only for a misfire which is why it drove completely fine and that they cleared the code and it hasn't came back.

But wasn’t that a saleshole, that person probably doesn’t know the difference between blinker fluid and muffler bearings

She was relaying what the technician told her. I inquired further and she told me the tech thought it was from the car just having sat for so long. It supposedly threw only the P030085 code, which is just the generic Random Misfire code, and nothing else. That might be 100% correct and it could be absolutely nothing to worry about, but I'm not willing to take that chance if I can't take it somewhere else to have it inspected.

Tell them to pound sand.

That means pound sand up your asshole.

I'm too big of a to do that.

She said "If you change your mind don't hesitate to reach out."

I just replied - "Likewise I suppose." That's about as much of an asshole as I'm capable of being to someone in a service position.

Well, that's the point of a PPI - get an outside 3rd party with no skin in the game to do an assessment.

If they won't release it for a PPI, that's a red flag amigo.

Yep they’re hiding something. Next.

I genuinely believe them when they say that’s their policy, but I really don’t care. I’m not buying that car without a PPI either way.

If anyone wants to test my theory and try to schedule a PPI on a different car, call Mercedes of Indianapolis at (877) 838-8957.

It's not a Gullwing 300SL. It's one of 100,000. Find another, better one.

My $0.02, don't buy an old MB SUV if CEL causes discomfort. The older the car the less German it should be lol
