Re: Spotted a bargain repo car from Ballykeel Logistics should I be concerned? Looking for honest opinions

Can’t comment on Ballykeel Logistics specifically, but repo cars themselves aren’t automatically a red flag. I bought a Mazda 6 from a finance auction a few years back and it turned out to be one of the most reliable cars I’ve owned.

No audible alert from reversing sensor

Re: Battery ambiguity

Hello, does the old battery have AGM labelled on it? If so, it is intended for stop-start vehicles; however, I am unaware of your car's specifications.

As you are aware, codes do not inherently equate to "replace sensor."

Re: AMG Issues

When I had a CLS350 equipped with the 7G torque converter gearbox, it exhibited significant notchiness, inferior to the 5G-Tronic gearbox in my S211 320.
