Nope. I know a guy who worked in automotive aftermarket products and he was in sales. I was there in the office and a guy called in looking for wheels for a 1993 Saab. The sales guy said, “I don’t want to hear your Saab story.”
Saab really was ahead of their time. Did you know that the 1978 Saab 900 was the 1st car to have a cabin air filter? And the 1999 9-5 was the 1st car to have active head restraints and ventilated seats.
only 2500 miles and someone put cheaper different branded tires on the back…. I just don’t understand why people are so cheap
it's fwd (and slow), so fancy tires out back are a waste of money.
Saab is was a unique brand...
FTFY.
just another saab story...

Some pics says too large to upload. Screenshot of said pic resolves that. I could’ve cropped out the black bars but 😆
I was in NJ this weekend, we had both cars since my wife went midweek and I met them Friday evening. Noticed when I moved the Mercedes its leaking oil like a sive. This is my garage floor. So, back to the dealer...huge PITA...
Batteries can leak too. Lots of people stay away from German cars, you seem to have had a poor experience. My friend has an S class like yours, different engine I think but nagging problems, especially with start stop and iPhone integration
You get the point of what I mean about the leak lol
My experience has been great until just recently, I'm sure this leaking is related to the valve cover gasket repair I just had done being done improperly.
Its a shame because it would be a keeper if I wasn't worried about stuff like this becoming a common occurance...

You know what doesn't leak oil? a BMW i7...
Yikes. If you're not keeping the car I'd throw some cardboard down and forget about it

When KIA replaced my friends engine, the starter eventually broke, the alternator went bad…. I thought you had some trim problems went you got, lousy wipers and something else didn’t work. But I can’t recall. If you had an engine repair…and the engine had to come out, it’s best to dump this thing and move on.

No I'll make them make it right. I have identified a couple S580s on the ground that I like. One is white, I do like the nice bright white and the 24 is a different white than mine that doesn't have that cream-ish tinge to it:
The other is Selenite Grey:
The gray one has the 19 inch wheels which I don't prefer, but it does have the exclusive nappa interior which I love and is rare, that gets the leather on the dash and doors and the suede headliner. MSRPs are identical.

I had a couple little trim issues when it was brand new that were no big deal, and Mercedes wipers skip thats just how they are.
Apparently the engine did not come out, they disassembled the whole front of the car to get access to it from the front.

Another reminder why we wiped our hands of German vehicles. Hope it’s an easy fix.

This is a "incompetent repair" thing. Not gonna be an easy fix, I would imagine they will have to redo the whole valve cover job. I wonder if its leaking from the oil separators or something which were also replaced. A valve cover leak usually doesn't leak onto the floor like that. Or maybe they didn't torque the drain plug down properly?
