The latest from Mercedes Benz on the Dodge branded Sprinter

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

Mercedes Benz will honor the Dodge basic warranty. So for me, that means I have 6,000 miles and 1 year of Mercedes warranty left.

Mercedes Benz will not honor any extended warranty purchased from Dodge. The key word here is purchased. Dodge got the money and it is their warranty. Maybe Dodge will refund money based upon the unused portion of the warranty but I don’t think it likely.

Mercedes Benz will be selling an extended warranty that Dodge Sprinter owners can purchase as long as their Sprinter is still covered under the original warranty. No word on months/miles/cost.

At least one Mercedes dealer will be marking a kit to change your Dodge logo’s to Mercedes. You can find these now on the market but perhaps the dealer will save you some money.

From what I read, the new Sprinter dealers are excited and ready to jump into the game. Yaaahooooo!

Why we rebadge . . . it was decided long ago

Those of us who remember Janis J. are psychologically moved to rebadge the Dodge or Freightliner to Mercedes. Even more people had the seed planted with this ad.

Subliminal advertising – the song gets into your mind and can’t get out! Those evil Germans are up to no good!
