I’m sorry, but Mr. Mercedes could not happen. We are told that a key was left “in the slot” in the car but those things don’t even have a place to put a key. I know, I have one. The MB. Keyless entry system works without you ever having to take the fob out of your pocket or purse. You walk up, touch the handle and it opens and the start button works. Walk away and it locks up again. MB takes care of you, you don’t have to do anything else. If a key had been left in the glove compartment surely the very thorough MB Techs would spot it on the frequent service sessions that come with it. I checked and the 05 S class definitely had that system. It was mentioned as a SL 550. But that only ever had 8 cyl. For 12 you have to go to a 660. MB only has letters and numbers, and its really confusing. If it was stolen, it would have to have lojack, If you have a loaded 100K car that pretty much has to be there. Why am I doing this? Well the story includes a device called “ Thing two” ( a Dr. Seuss reference) which can open any car. MB insists that there is no such thing, particularly for their S class. Can some bozo open my car? They say no.
By the way, the new robot manual seven speed dual clutch gearbox takes off like a jackrabbit.
I think I got a good car for my money.
