If you are looking for a new ride and need help checking it out let me know! UPDATE!

If any of you like any of the cars listed below and can't make it out to see it in person, let me know and I will be more than happy to go and inspect and take it for a test drive.

Luxury Motors has the worst reputation in the business. Ask for the history of any car, inspect and then re-inspect. Then inspect it again. The pressure once you arrive is incredible, especially if you drive in with a car they might want. It disappears before you eyes. And getting it back without buying a car is next to impossible.

Then if you happen to live near one of the LM dealerships, and try to take a car you purchased from them to a local OEM dealer for warranty work, it's a nightmare. The local dealers know that LM sells junk, and then they get the cars to try and make them right. LM insists that all is under warranty, only to get surprised.

Be VERY, VERY aware. Just a word to the wise.

I almost bought from one but they wouldn't cave on price so I went to a real MB dealer. I guess its better I didn't go that route.

Just to clear a few things up since I normally dont post that much over here. Another forum member Str8ridin asked a couple of months ago if there was anyone in the bay area that could go by and look and test drive a 2005 E55 that LM was selling. I went by to look and test drive and the car was close to perfect. (previous owner got alittle to happy with the clear guard IMO) Long story short Str8ridin bought the car and loves it.

Now there is another member that I am going to go look and test drive for him. I only work about 5 min from LM so its not a problem. I thought that is what this forum was suppose to be about, sharing info and helping others! I also shared the opinions and experiences that others have gone through with LM's bayarea Mgr. and atleast in the bay area they are trying to change that perception.

C32 I dont know you but if you asked me to go by there and look at a car for you I would do the same. I only posted those cars because those are cars that are usually talked about on this forum. I'm just trying to help and I thought it would be cool to see if anyone else wanted me to look at a vehicle for them.

Don't take the skepticism to heart. I think some people here are a little too jaded. It is/was a nice offer, and I wish someone had done the same when I bought my last two cars.

You do know LM in oakland, CA is privately owned. Its not a chain dealership so all the crap you just wrote doesnt apply to this dealer. I know because i used to work at LM in oakland along with another buddy of mine now working at a Honda dealer with me now.
