C300
Picked up my car last night!!!

Finally picked up my car (somewhat)...I originally ordered a c350 from MB of South Bay in socal...two days after it arrived they called me up to inform me that the sales manager "accidently" sold my car to another customer. Keep in mind we have bought numerous cars from this dealership and they know us on a first name basis. Anyways I picked up a C300 last night White with pano. roof, P2, MM, Ipod for an amazing deal I couldnt pass up. My question is im kind of upset it does not have the 18" amg wheels on it. Does anyone know where I can find a set?

I find it hard to believe they sold it "accidentally." I guess what I'm implying is that someone probably offered more than msrp when they saw it. And most snakes would be willing to **** off someone in order to make a sale to someone else for a huge profit.

How come there are more and more stories of customers losing their orders?

Did they not give you a Netstar report? You had a deposit I assume. Or was this a verbal deal?

Food chain. Someone higher up on it wanted the car you ordered.

However, based on how you described the discount, CONGRATULATIONS !!!!

HeHe... Guys dont hate me. But my car was already sold to some other poor guy. I felt really evil (but so good) taking the "sold" tag off the rearview mirror. I guess having your mother and father buying an ML500 and SL500 last year in cash has it perks and if someone on here lives in orlando area and the dealer 'sold' their car... I have NO idea how that could happen.
