I got a Saab 93 turbo. They put 4 holes for my front license plate and I asked them to repaint the whole bumper. :-)

Mostly ML's, but C and E class as well. They actually had some SLK's but got rid of them because every customer wanted them.

I had a choice between an ML, E, SLK, or C with my dealer in Sacramento.

Now, with The House, I get only a C.

yeah, they put 4 holes for the front license plate.
I was 18 (about to turn 19) at that time. I asked them whether they got any MB loan car and they said NO.....they only have 2 ML for shuttle service.
they can get a loaner car for the customers from Enterprise and if you want to upgrade the car (it is $10.....:-) )

Got a C230 Coupe the first time, and a E320 the second time.
The E was much nicer. The seats in C where to hard.

Never anything but a Dodge or Chrysler POS in a decade of Mercedes ownership.

Cool
I usually get E-320s or ML-320s. I had a C-station wagon once - I looked like a family man...

I got the C240, ML320, the new 2003 ML350, Honda Civic from the dealership.

They usually reserve a benz for you instead of other cars if you make an appointment.


i haven't got a slk tho, that would be pretty sweet to have that for courtesy

I was riding a SLK320 last summer, sure feels way faster than my CLK320.

Switched back to the CLk for the winter season

Not for nothin', but my dealer must be the worst. They usually give a Camry or a Tercel. How screwed up is that.
