My experience with the local dealers has been a joke. When I first got my G, my first instinct was to aproach the dealers in a very nice and friendly way. Being nice and friendly got me no where and soon gave up on the idea. The dealers here in South Florida want nothing to do with a G-Wagen or they would make it so expensive or difficult with so many rules. After a long search found a Hatian trained Mercedes guy who opened is own business. Turns out that G's are quite common in Hati and he was familiar with them. I wonder what the attitude will be once the dealers start selling them. I once had a D90 and found even the LR dealers had trouble dealing with there own make. I ended up knowing more than the dealer.
