Finally...? Not quite.

Finally got my car after several delays in production and shipping. I was originally told by me dealer that I would get it in May, then was told it would be produced in July, then it was delayed twice in July, then it was held for "modifications" in Germany and missed two boats and sat there for the entire month of August, and finally made a boat in the beginning of September and arrived at my dealer by the end of September.

Finally, yesterday, the car was delivered to my house. My wife received the car and moved it into my garage. In the evening, I finally got in to play with it. Sat in the passenger's seat and programmed all the SAT radio stations, configured my B&O system and connected my iPod. Then configured my bluetooth phone.

Then finally, I went to the other side and proceeded to adjust the seat before I get in. What did I find out? The seat switch was broken inside. The spring had no resistance when pushing back to move the seat backwards. The seat works in every direction except moving backwards. I can feel that the internal of the switch is broken. Called Roadside and they said there is nothing they can do. Now I have a $200,000 car sitting in my garage for the weekend with no where to go because I cannot get onto the driver's seat!

So much for a purchase experience.

Ouch man! Sorry to hear about your purchasing experience. Hopefully MB will rectify the situation quickly and you'll forget all about these little issues when you have a chance to drive the car a bit.
