...the 300 has given me an issue. Was leaving my grandparents yesterday and smelled a harsh burning smell, like burning plastic or something. As soon as I established it was my car and not another around me, I got off the road and parked it. I noticed the smell and a very small amount of smoke coming from the alternator, with what looked like oil leakage, although it wasn’t wet and tony car never leaves any spots (we have a concrete driveway so if it was leaking something it would be very apparent) left the car overnight and got a ride home, went back this morning with my grandpa and his AAA card. Apparently there’s an open recall on my alternator, so here’s hoping it’s that instead of something else that I’d actually have to pay for. Even if it’s something bigger, my 300 has still been the most dependable and headache free car I’ve owned, and I’ll still recommend one to whoever is looking for a full size near luxury sedan. Love my car and hoping for the best, it’d really suck to have to get rid of it.

I went through three alternators on my Charger before they had an upgraded part . The first toasted my HVAC, and the second the Bluetooth adaptor.
I’m surprised yours lasted so well.

Watch out for the one they put in. I’ve h eard of nightmares when the tech puts the new one in.
Someassembly is correct.

If I have any issues when I get it back, someone at that dealership is getting a foot up their ass. Strike one was refusing to provide a loaner, 2 was telling me they’d “check it out sometime in the next few days”. If there’s one more issue, they’re fucked.

If I do, I’m getting some old ass diesel Benz. I’ve wanted one forever, and they’re the only thing in the budget I actually like.

Yeah. W123 300D and W116 300 SD are the main contenders. There’s a beautiful garage kept W116 from the south for sale in Brooklyn right now for just under $4k right now that looks promising. I’m waiting to hear back from the dealership about my car before I call though.

I don’t like the styling on them. Too 80s.
