A nightmare car!

I purchased a Mercedes E250 from Coupes and Convertibles in August last year. A couple of months after purchase the fuel injection had problems which meant the car took a while to run on and then often would not accelerate. C&C did agree to send it to their garage and cover the costs, however it still did not run very well and over the next few months got worse again. I took it back to the garage at my cost and at that point they told me all the brake pads and discs were completely worn to the point of dangerous and they needed to replace them at a cost of around £700. I had only done 3,000 miles at that point. Then the engine light came on the car so they charged me for a replacement sensor - I walked away with a bill of £800+. The engine light then came back on the following day and will not go off - the same garage has now said it has a problem with the front sprockets and it will cost £1000+ to repair. So a car I have done a few thousand miles in less than a year since purchased it costing me £2k on top of what I paid and is still not driving well. I probably should have had it AA checked but trusted the dealership. I would say ensure you get a check if you buy from C&C.
