While I wouldn't have sought revenge in the same was as many in this thread have, I DID write to MBUSA regarding the matter:

"I am a Mercedes owner, and a lover of the marque -- particularly the W123 chassis diesels. I am also a regular reader of various Mercedes online technical forums, and was disappointed to read of another forum member's experiences with Millenium Auto Group (of Bridgewater, NJ) while trying to organize a joint get together for MBUSA, BenzWorld, and Mercedesshop members. After said member left numerous messages at the dealer regarding potential publicity at and support of the get together, the "Sales Manager" of Millenium left an obscene voicemail message for the member noted.

I wonder what, if anything, MBUSA will about the situation. I am certain that MBUSA is aware of the situation, as the forum member I mentioned has brought it to your attention, as others may have. I certainly hope this is not considered acceptable behavior by MBUSA, as it is an absolute embarrassment to the Mercedes Benz name.

I would consider test-driving one of the new BlueTec diesels (as stated -- I'm a diesel fan!), but would be hard-pressed to seriously consider buying one if this behavior by Millenium is left to stand.

Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing your plans to resolve this matter."

We'll see what, if any, their response is. What a shame... the Mercedes marque is (was?) something special. I hope MBUSA sees fit to preserve it and makes amends in some way.

I won't be buying a BlueTec anytime soon -- I'm what you'd call a Schlitz-budget car buyer -- but the day will come when my ship comes in, and something like a certified BlueTec might be a serious consideration. I'd like to think that MB is still "world class" and will rightly take this transgression seriously. We'll see!
