I have a mercedes a class daimlerchrysler (d) 168a and it’s showing in the monitor "-4".what does it mean?

May 24th, 2010


If you are talking about the mileage display that normally shows the total miles/kilometers
it appears that you have the exceeded service interval indication.,

See if the number increases with days/driven mileage and if it does, then get the car serviced ASAP.
If the display stays with this number all the time it’s probably fault in the instrument cluster and it will have to be replaced.

N.B; Please be careful while searching for financial assistance because there are frausdsters surfin the internet looking for people to swindle of their hard earned money

Why is the SEC playing double standard?

April 12th, 2010

Mercedes Benz will get away with a fine for practicing worldwide bribery (http://www.worldcarfans.com/110032425281/daimler-charged-in-us-for-paying-bribes—fined-185).

Then why isn’t the Galleon fund permitted this option too ?! Is insider trading a heinous crime requiring harsh jail sentence but bribery isn’t ? I am completely appaled by this country and its hypocrite practises. The management of Mercedes is excluded from criminal charges or has some sort of immunity ? What about the strong governance messages issued by the government back in 2003 after the worldcom and eron scandals that this type of activity will not be tolerated anymore.
Shame on you SEC and department of Justice for being bribed by Mercedes too.

The Mercedes Benz fine is from a U.S. District court, for violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. It was a criminal probe.

The SEC is not involved, so the case is not comparable to Galleon.

Will the dumping off of Chrysler by Daimler-Benz onto an American company be a blessing in disguise….? ?

March 24th, 2010

….for Chrysler?
Chrysler was run into the ground by Daimler-Benz when they owned them! Daimler bought Chrysler when they were the most profitable car maker in the world then gave them away to get them off there book’s year’s after they were worthless.
Would congress bailout Chrysler if they were still owned by Daimler?
In the early ’80’s, Chrysler was failing for the normal reasons(crap cars and no sales) when Lee Ioacoca made the ‘deal’ with the government for help. The 1st of it’s kind. They paid off that loan to the U.S. government like 15 year’s early and made it into what Daimler bought.
Why is Chrysler in the same situation only worse now and with all 3 now?
Will Dodge survive once again? Why has nobody brought this up?

yes

Curious About Mercedes….?

February 16th, 2010

i’ll be in the market for a new vehicle next year & my first choice was a Mercedes. Used ofcourse, i was thinking 2005 C class. How expensive is it to maintain? What about the cost for parts? i own a Land Rover and just spend $500 on a fuel pump so i’m not a stranger to high prices but i’d also like to avoid paying a lot. I also heard that Mercedes was mfd by Daimler-Chysler…is that true?? if it is, what affect does that have on the cost for general maintenance/repairs to the vehicle??

Oh yes, if you have been driving a Land Rover you have been dealing with far more repair bills than you’ll probably ever see from any Mercedes. As with all imported cars parts are more expensive and labor might be higher, too. But the Benz will certainly be a bargain over what you have been driving. As for Diamler-Benz buying Chrysler in 1998, that bad marriage lasted until the summer of last year when Chrysler was sold to a private equity group.

Is this too much for a 16-year old? Is Diddy showing off for himself? or for his son?

February 14th, 2010

~~~
Hip Hop mogul known as "P. Diddy" gave his son a "Mayback" vehicle (ultra luxury by Daimler ( parent of Mercedes Benz) which cost $360,000.00. And his son can’t even drive yet.
Granted Diddy is worth an awful lot, and I am sure his son is a jewel.
I’m just wondering though, if "P Diddy" put away anywhere near that to cover his son’s college education. Yes, he’s rich. But anything can happen….Hip Hop may not be around forever…..
What do you think?

I think its pretty dumb, and confirmation that society has truly become dwarfed by a materialistic shadow of its former self; with its secularist infatuations and disgusting glorification of wealth.

Is the Toyota recall the best thing to ever happen to Ford, GM and Chrysler in the last decade?

February 2nd, 2010

"…..Shares of Toyota stock have fallen 17 percent since the recall, according to a report on Bloomberg.com. And one industry insider familiar with inner workings of the manufacturer said Toyota was losing $500 million for every week assembly lines remain idle."……

BTW….Let’s not forget it was Daimler-Benz that ran Chrysler, the most profitable car company at time of purchase, into the ground.
I don’t consider ignoring 2000 incedents and 18 death’s since 1999 a good hearted company for finally fixing there problem.
Cutting corners for using the same part in different applications is coming back to haunt them.

Ford is doing pretty well, GM is doing OK but Chrysler still needs some work.
