Who painted those big white letters all over the car and the engine in all those pics? Totally ruined the pics for me. ;-)

Just kidding. But seriously, a smaller logo would have been nice.

LOL, sorry Doc. We are actually working on a watermark to use on our pictures in the future. However, I can assure you that soon you won't have to worry about that issue anymore.

Ok, ok, ok. By popular demand, the logo on our pictures will be fixed immediately!

I have upgraded all of our pictures with a cleaner logo. Is everyone happy now?

P.S. I'm sorry if we use logos but if we don't, we'll probably find our pics on Ebay tomorrow!

Mercedes Benz of Huntington has alot of pictures of their first CLS 55 AMG on Ebay and they have no logos!

Those are not our pics so I don't know if I can post them here, but feel free to check them out on Ebay by searching for a CLS 55 AMG. And if you are allowed to post those pics in here, please do so.

In addition, they are obviously asking for a premium... They want $10,000 over the MSRP so I doubt their car will sell, considering that the market value on Ebay is alot less than $10k over the MSRP.

Thanks for posting the pics! Can't believe how much grief is being thrown your way for the logos. How is that baby equipped and what was the sticker?

Nelson,

I have had two calls this morning since 8 AM offering cars at 10K over MSRP. Both of the cars had almost no options. MB must have built a few early cars and they have allocated them to certain dealers as is.

I have no idea why in the world MB did that. I cannot picture a buyer who is spending $90,000 on a car not wanting at least the basic extra options such as Navigation, Keyless Go and Bi-Xenon headlamps!

I know for a fact that if we have an open allocation and we have to spec out a car, we always order them with Navigation, Premium Sound, Heated Seats, Bi-Xenon Headlamps, Keyless Go, Parktronic, and Electronic Trunk Closer.

But unfortunately, MB screwed this one up big time and that is why most of the cars that are on the ground are Silver or Black and only have the Premium Package

Thanks Stickyc! It's nice to see that some of you do appreciate the pictures even if it has our logo. I know that some of you were just joking but a few were damn serious about it.

I guess that you cannot always please everyone but I hope that people in this forum understand that we don't use the logos in our pictures to promote our company. Instead, we use the logos to protect everyone from people who might use our pictures to claim that they have a car and then scam innocent buyers who don't know better!


Anyways, the MSRP is $92,920 and this baby is equipped ONLY with the premium package. Unfortunately, MB screwed this one up and manufactured most of the first cars this way.

Hey, I remember people like this from back in the 70's ... they'd get people to wait in line for them to get first crack at things and then turn around and sell them for a lot more than they paid for them ... we called them "Ticket scalpers" back then LOL :p

Do you know what do they call us now? LOL

I hope that the new term is not as derrogative as it was back in the 70's.

Come on Doc, can't we at least be called... "Personal Car Consultants" ?

Cause we certainly hope our clients don't go broke or soon we'll be out of business!
