Bought Mercedes CLA 45 AMG

Before Accident
-Had window tinted at 4.5/5 stars yelp rate guy; found scratch in paint in lower right side panel on door while in possession of tint guy upon picking up car (he tried to have it fixed, only made it worse - refunded tint money)
-Window Tint Passenger side peeled (brought back); Window Tint Rear window had hair in it (brought back a week later); Window Tint Drive side bubbled wouldn't go away (brought it back again....)
-Windshield wiper defect; had to bring to service to get replaced. 2 Weeks later, same issue again, had to bring it again
-Got sandwiched at a red light (rear ended into another car)
-Took to Mercedes Repair Shop and they had a 2 month back order on a taillgiht since my car was too new and no extra parts in stock
-After 2 months and enough complaints, convinced general manager to take tailight from another car in his fleet to install into mine instead
-Front vent splitters improperly installed, started falling apart; had to take back to dealership and complain. Fixed.
(Con: Lost $15k in value per diminished value from accident; Pro: Car looks brand new like the day I got it from dealership)

After Repair
-DCT failing to shift properly between 2nd to 3rd and from 3rd to 4th (bought to Mercedes, dealer claimed they could not replicate issue since no transmission update available yet)
-Noticed rattle on driver side door (brought into dealer to fix).
-Noticed vibration at 60+ MPH shortly after they test drove it, brought back to dealer, their claimed their rep didnt cause it; 2 bent rims + 1 busted tire ($2300 replacement/realignment)
-Left dealer, on way home from dinner (2 hrs later) hit another pot hole, damaged same side rims and tires again (tire replaced under warranty, rims still damaged)
-Door ding at parking lot (paintless dent repair 150$)
-On way back home after repair, hit a rock on highway, cracked windshield (insurance covered repair but not replacement)
-Had car detailed after all that, believe dealer left small scratch on my front grill, but lacked evidence to prove it (Currently in process of filing a claim with DOT for repair money; cant afford to just drop $2k on this again)

TL;DR Fuck this car I think Its bad luck, I'm going to buy the 2016 M4 when it comes out. Giving this car to my GF and she'll take over payment since she wants/is attached to it
