Believe it.

208 and 209 cars are just nowhere right now. The dealers in the Atlanta are are sitting all over new CLK 55's (209), and the values on both are plumetting. I've been an MB customer for nearly 20 years, and this is just ridiculous. There is just entirely too much product in the marketplace, and it's killing resale on just about everything. Even SL's are nowhere as hot as they were 60 days ago. Thanks, Daimler Chrysler.

W209's are not selling well and their resale really is suffering( i just got a few quotes) as is MB's quality. My 03 500 has had way too many problems and I wish I did not buy it, I'm so depressed

That is one really good thing about BMW NA, they constantly monitor and post on bimmer.roadfly.org, they even forward comments to the dealers....MB is a bunch of arrogant *******s...sorry to be so harsh, but just the feeling I get...

I used to be on a popular BMW board when I bought one of the first 330 coupes and you are correct BMW was very helpfull with informative posts and interest in their customer's experiences. Never seen that here or in any other MBZ board.

I don't know what going on with MB, in the last 13+/-years MB quality has really suffered...what a shame the earlier cars were built like bank vaults and garnered the top of the quality ratings.
