stopped at MB dealer. Not real impressed with the sales experience there either. Guy recgonized my last name and turns out he sold my dad a couple cars like 15 years ago at a different dealer (impressive).
However, when he asked what I was looking for and I told him I wasn't sure of the MB lineup, he lost all interest. Couldn't tell me the difference between their models other than one has a little more power.
Told him I was crossing Audi and BMW. He said he worked for Audi so he knew their cars. I said OK good, I am looking for something between an RS3 and S4. He pulls up a 2013 CL 500 for $57K :iono:
I said, no, I am looking for a sedan. So he flips through his online catalog and pulls up a nice c240 or something like that
I said, dude, I am looking for something with some power. I told you I was look at the RS/S line and M lines.
So he eventually determines that I want a C class. Either a C43 or C63 (amg). I ask what the difference is.... "the 63 has a little more power".
He said "when we get some in, I will call you". Never offered to even look at a regular C class. I finally asked to see one, and he pointed to one on the floor and said, over there. I sat in the back- There's less head room than the small RS3. Meh.
Felt this guy was not interested in selling a car or putting the effort into it. I have gotten
way better service shopping for a $7,000 used car at Lexus than I did at the Audi and MB dealer so far.
The icing on the cake is when I tell them I am looking for something with a little more power than my Golf. Their heads explode.
I know. I really haven't driven it much this year at all. Since I got my truck, I don't bother taking the R out anymore for daily driving.
