Can somebody recommend a dealership in SFBA with good sales people?

I used to buy my Benz from Oakland dealer, but they are too pushy, like Toyota. From other side, Autobahn Motors look completely passive, they just offer go to MBUSA, build your car there, and then they can do delivery.

So I am interested in a dealer who is willing actually sell a car from the lot, give options and negotiate price. I am interested in E550 11 or 12. You can PM mee if you willing to share personal contacts.

Beshoff Motors in San Jose. I have bought my last 5 MBs from them. Ask for Joe Nguyen> he has been there over 7 years or more. He is a great guy. Very customer focused not a hard sell. Very Professional. Tell him Robert S. mention his name to you. GL. BTW the dealer itself is first class as well as are all the support teams throughout the different organizations.

I've bought my last 3 from Pleasanton MB (formerly Hacienda), the sales people seem to move through there pretty regularly but the over attention to service is pretty good.

Contact Tito at MB of Pleasanton. Great service (Saturday service appointments, too!) + they are very aggressive with their pricing.

Remember, too, that we are approaching year end when pricing gets even more attractive!

You'll probably score the best deal at 5pm on 12/31, if you can wait that long.

AVOID R.A.B. Motors in San Rafael. The salespeople there treated me like cr*p when I went for two test drives. The salesweanie sat in the back and was on his phone the entire drive APOLOGIZING for his behavior to another customer.

However, for service ask for Scott, he treats my car the BEST.
