should i trust my mb dealer

I am truly planning to get an ml63/65 amg, and i need a car next month, so my mb dealer told me they would sell me either the showroom c55 or a used c32 pretty near cost, and then next December they "guaranteed" that i would not lose very much on the car so I could trade on the ml, does this sound too good to be true? or take it and run?

Without something in writing, how does your definition of "very much" compare with theirs?

Guaranttee in writing is one thing but a verbal promise means crap, especially from a car salesperson, Mercedes or not.

Don't trust them. Get it in writing.

but hey you will be getting a great deal on a C55 or a C32 so worst case scenario sell it privetely and depending on how great of a deal you get you wont lose much money.
