Hey CP,

Hopefully you can all help. So I bought a ‘13 used ML350 exactly 14 days ago. It sat in my garage the past 3 days moved it today and there was a oil pool under it.

I called the dealership I bought it from (wasn’t a Mercedes dealership we bought from) and brought it in. Just a call that it maybe the upper pan seal a job which requires approx 20 hours of labor. We have owned the SUV 14 days and out just over 500kms on it.

I didn’t get the extended warranty due to its $6000 price tag. And the dealership is already saying “you bought a used car with no warranty” and said they will help me out with the bill as in a 50/50 split which could still be upwards to $2000.

I don’t want to name the dealership but it was a reputable dealership in the Auto-mall and it’s being negotiated as to what’s going to happen at the moment but what if any sort of consumer laws do I have that could possibly be on my side I can get the help from if I need.

Any help would be appreciated.
