BERLIN (Reuters) said:
A German court has ruled that Mercedes must release a man from a car lease deal after a dispute over whether he was too heavy to drive the luxury vehicle, Bild newspaper reported Tuesday.
Mercedes refused to release the insurance salesman from a lease agreement on his S-320 CDI model, arguing the multiple car breakdowns caused by his weight were insufficient grounds to break the deal.

But the Stuttgart court ruled in favor of the salesman, named only as Frank S., apparently on the grounds that the car should have been able to take his weight.

Frank S. was told that at 160 kg (352 pounds) he weighed twice as much as the average driver, Bild said.

"They told me that I was too fat for the car because the seat was broken," he told Bild, in a story next to a picture of the east German squeezing behind the steering wheel of the model Bild said was worth 65,000 euros.

"I could hardly fit behind the steering wheel ... Then I had to take the car back to the shop for repairs 13 times for 21 different malfunctions in the first 20,000 km."

The 37-year-old said he got fed up and wanted to return the car but Mercedes refused to release him from his lease contract.

A court in Stuttgart ruled that DaimlerChrysler had to let him out of the agreement.

The salesman, who switched to a Volkswagen, would sue to get back the leasing payments he made, Bild said.

Should have bought him a new M-Class. And I thought only America had these problems...
 
He should've just bought a 10 wheeler truck to carry his fat ass. People like him should consider lipposuction to solve his problem.

Peoplel like him should be made to walk to wherever he has to go.
 
If you can barely squeeze behind the wheel of a mercedes...that should be a sign to trim that waistline...
 
u realy have nothing better to do than post simpsons quotes in every thread?

I guess it's an easy way to increase post count :roll:
 
Sorry TGG, but I have to agree with Bone on this one, I would like to know what your opinions are on the subject, not some related Simpson's quote.
 
hahhaha thats fucking hilarious :lol:
there is a reason why a tall person wouldn't be able to drive a Fiat 500, tough luck.
 
Why would you buy a car that you "varely fit behind the wheel"? Ignoring the fact that he can't fit behind the wheel of a S class. :lol:
 
I wouldn't take the article too serious - Bild is the German equivalent to the Sun or Mirror. (Would like to see that guy entering a Suzuki Alto or something like that :D )

TBH, i'm surprised the big S-Class couldnt support him but then again, cars like that have a brain and it probly didnt want that fat guy in the car!

He needs an R63AMG. Its huge and has plenty of torque to haul his ass round town :mrgreen:
 
And there wasn't enough room in the glovebox for his griller oven.
