Thumbs up Good dealership (competitive)

I bought my second MB recently. Already have 2000 miles on the new E 320. So far no problems. During the process of buying a new MB I talked and e mailed many dealerships. I have found that smaller dealerships really are better than the big names.

Chico dealership in Northern California seems to provide the least expensive extended warranty and I felt the best price on new E.
(700 over invoice)

Wonder if anyone else had found such price.

you mean Lisa? She is good

yes, she provides the lowest mb extented warranty. I cannot remember the exact price, may be $1790 ? my local greedy dealer asked $2390 who tried to rip me off again. basically, you can buy this extended warranty from any dealerships and get the services locally.

I bought my extended warranty for $1920. The saleman gave me 20% of the orginal cost around $ 2300. I thought i had a good deal. I am a first time MB buyer, so didn't know much what to do on prices.

Price on car also as good

I felt the price on the car also was good and the person sticks to the word given on phone/e mail, unlike many experiences posted stating change in price once you show up.

My first MB same thing happened at a big name dealership.
Moral of the story: find small dealerships if possible in your area.
MB remains the same car, why not get more options by getting better deal...

IQguy, you are lucky

I could not find such a dealer in my area.

Chico gives you a good price and you can shop mb and other brands, e.g. bmw, at the same time because it is a small town.
