  July 10, 2002 - Power Steering?
  Mercedes Benz Credit of Canada approached me recently, to offer me 4 options for the end of the lease. Although I was almost ready to settle for the financing possibility, I am re-considering and I am pretty sure, that I will simply return the vehicle.... even better, I returned it this evening (22:00) with the Vehicle Return Statement. By turning the wheel to get into the only free parking space, the power steering pump started to make noise again.
  With the "Vehicle Return Statement" I expect now serious trouble.. Remember, when I mentioned on page 1: you should never trust a car salesman?.. The paint on the vehicle is really badly chipped. But not, that I was careless or was driving like a maniac behind gravel trucks... these chips can be found not only at the front.. but on top of the hood and even on the tail gate.
  Lone Star Inc. (Calgary) never told me, what was wrong with the car, when I picked it up. The warranty-invoice arrived on August 9th, 2002 and it was not the power steering, but the alternator bearing. This was fixed on July 26th. 2002.
   
 

Believe it or not - 15 days later I got my car back
