Video: customer discovers his main dealer took £40K Merc for joy ride
A customer was shocked to discover his main dealer had taken his car for a spin.

Chauffeur David Argust had left his new Mercedes E300 AMG at Sytner Mercedes Bristol for a service but was staggered to find that garage staff had took his car to a nearby supermarket, breaking the speeding limit numerous times during the journey.

The owner discovered what had happened to his AMG when he played back footage recorded on his dash cam.

David said the car did not require a test drive and was taken without his permission.

The video shows the car breaking the 40mph speed limit as it goes ‘flat out’, according to David.

At 5m38s, the car’s collision assist can be heard beeping as the driver comes dangerously close to the vehicle in front.

The dealership has reportedly apologised to David but has refused to make any further comments.

It’s thought the driver in the video has now been sacked from the dealership.
