New E-350 in my driveway

I had been complaining about sales tactics and other things concerning the car search.

We had an 04 320 on lease and that was set to expire in June. We looked at the Infiniti G 35 Sport, nice car that we were seriously condisering, but stupid dealer and insane pricing. The 39 month lease was priced at $670, with no money down (except first month and tags). They did not want the E-320.

Bethesda, MD MB dealer did $699 39 months and no money down (except first month and tags), took the E-320 and eliminated the last 3 payments.

BTW the car is Black/Black, w/ pano and P2.

I'll try to post some pics. Thanks for listening to my previous rants.

I'm guessing you went with EuroMotorCars-Bethesda? I take both of my rides to the Germantown location. The service dept is excellent at both of the dealers but I found the sales staff a little sub-par.

Congratulations, sounds like a good looking car.


Now, PICS OR BAN!!!!

Euro Bethesda

Apparently, these two dealers have a "rilvary". They do not exchange cars and while Germantown's service is excellent (I only take the car there), sales is lacking.

This is not a knock against the Germantown salesman, but against the pettiness that prevents the two dealers from doing what is best for the customer. Bethesda had the car we wanted, Germantown could not "DX" it. The car Germantown had had features we did not want.

How do I post pictures on my computer?

Thanks

That's crazy! Seeing how they have the same owner and all. But you're right, the service in Germantown is great but the sales staff there is stinky. Who's your advisor there? Mine is Charles. Gigantic black guy, super nice. Can't miss him, he's gotta be 6'10".

I bought my car in Bethesda

The salesman's name is Mike.

They have a very nice array of high end cars, beginning with the SLR.

I have attached a couple of pictures, thanks Barry.
