So this dealer imports a CLK-GTR Roadster to the US. This means that it was bought as a CLK-GTR, then it was converted into a roadster by a different company, and finally, the guy had yet another company modify it for the US. It now doesn't work, and he wants Daimler-Chrysler to pay for fixing it. They're refusing and now he's suing them over it. The stupid thing is that the company that converted it into a roadster, has offered to help get it fixed (even though they think it was modified beyond them being liable for it by the import company, and thus not their problem to try and fix), but the guy refused. Even further, they also said that Daimler-Chrysler is in no way liable for it since they weren't involved in making or selling the car (the roadster version).

What a tool

He had it modified extensively, now it doesn't work right, he wants the manufacturer to repair it (even though it's not to stock specs anymore), they refuse, so he goes to one of the companies who modified it, they offer to help with repairs for frigging free, owner rejects it and files a lawsuit?

What a dick.

What a waste to turn that car into a roadster.

Dumbass rich person.

He bought it as a gray market car and he's going after Mercedes-Benz who had nothing to do with the sale. What a tool. Ha ha!

EDIT: Since this thing was bought from a 3rd party I'm pretty sure it wasn't even prepped correctly. It's a freaking racecar.
