Again, thanks, Dan.
Your site links to someplace in Chicago. Where are you located - anywhere near New England? If I end up buying one, I'd like to consider your place if you sell them.
Email if you like - address below is good.

Thanks, I appreciate it but I don't sell anything myself and I'm in Canada so it would likely be even more expensive importing one from here with duties and such. :)
There is another company that sells Miele dishwashers and offers $59 nation wide delivery. See the following link:

OTOH, my Mercedes is NOT for sale. I think they did a fabulous job on the car in both fit and finish, design, and most (not all) "ergonomic" and bells&whisltes type features. The only issue is the ventilation system - windows fog all the time and the vent blows warm air in the beginning (must routed the intake by the engine (semi ;-)). (Oh, and I can't fit anything wider than about 32" in the back unless I tilt it...) And this is the bottom of their line.
So, maybe buy the top of the line brand, though not necessarily the top of the line within the top of the line. ?

Hello, Renata.
I recently looked into buying a 2000 E430 to replace the VW and realized it might be another German headache. Read owner comments on Edmunds and newsgroups and found they have a lot of electrical problems. You may or may not encounter this with your model as it ages. The extended warranty quotes from the usual sites were a little under US$3000.
NY Times had an article today on auto durability
Aack! Indeed, just today read that Mercedes finished 26th in long term dependability. Used to be #1. I don't think the extended warranty on my model was anywhere close to
3G but I wasn't paying much attention as I usually don't bother with those (having owned mostly Toyotas that were trouble free). Now ya got me thinking I should seriously consider buying an extended warranty.I was generally commenting on the overall ft and finish, and "ergonomic" details which are nice. However, I haven't owned the quite a year so longer term problems haven't had a chance to raise their ugly heads.
BTW, Toyota's Lexus was #1in vehciel dependability. There's another article and ranking chart at
Thanks for the info.
