They even told me once that there was no such thing as a 1959 220SE when it was parked outside the door and I wanted to order a fuel filter for it.

The sales staff are slimeballs. I had one guy escort me back to the waiting room when I told him I wasn't in the market for a new MB and I wouldn't give him my personal info for his personal "file".
Sorry about your bad experience.

Our local dealer is part of a conglomerate that owns just about every auto dealership in Westlake Village. Cadillac, Jag, Hummer, Benz, etc.

The dealers are kept separate, however, so the guy who writes up my car does not also write up Caddies.

I used to own a Caddy and the service staff was also pretty decent.

Maybe I am just fortunate.

But like I said, for the most part the sales staff stinks, big time.
