Rant: Dealerships

i dont know what it is, i fill out their online form.Put my model,Vin,year,milage and my name and they never call back. I call them and im on hold for 30 minutes and then i get a voice mail. They never call back. I've gotten nowhere with any mercedes dealership in my area. Perhaps they found out about my test drive in south florida and the E320 CDI ?? ..

or they just dont want to bother with an old klunker like mine. all i want is a damage estimate which they are supposed to do free according to henry...youse know him....

so tomorrow im going to mercedes benz of south orlando and parking my car in front at the new car sales Dept....

Perhaps your honest queries cannot benefit them financially and thus they are ignored????

Just go in firs thing in the AM and have the estimator go over it. Shouldn't take more than 20 mins.

If they are indeed discriminating based on age of the car, that's very naive. Everybody who walks into that shop is a potential customer -- they should always treat them as such.
they open at 7:30 am.. i shall be there at 7:30:59 AM waiting for them to put the car on the lift.. first cup of coffee and drool splatters on the SLR


i just washed my 300D so it doesnt look like a pile ... i want it to be shiny

Trust me, as long as your MasterCard has a substantial luster, they won't care about the glossiness of your car.

The thing about dealerships is that its the 95% that give the honest ones a bad name!

I think they tend to deal with the physical customers than some one who sends an internet inquiry first. The latter they deal with if they have nothing to do
