I have read strange stories in car magazines. I recently read about someone who bought a new Mercedes. They picked it up a late evening in low light. But the next morning they found that the car was badly scratched. Something you don't expect when forking out £30k on a brand new Mercedes. Car magazines are often helpful for getting redress.
