2013 E350 4MATIC
*Trying* to buy a new E350

I'm trying to buy a new 2013 E350 4Matic. I say "trying" because the dealerships in my area seem to refuse to place a factory order. I want specific options -- nothing out of the ordinary, but I'm not really looking to spend an extra $3k on options I don't really want.

The dealerships I've dealt with so far spend all of their time directing me to cars on their lots that have options I don't want. When I mention that I want to place a factory order to get the options I want they act like this is some insane request or they disappear. I've never run into this before with a non-MB dealership (this will be my first MB if I can ever get it).

So, really just looking for advice. Are there dealers you can order with nationally? I'm in MN.

Thanks

Those salespeople are just lazy. Go to the MBUSA site, build the car you want, then reference the dealer you want to use.

Hi,
I sent you a Private Message with more info.
MB dealers often try to sell what they have in stock first
but certainly can order.
Check my PM and get back to me if you have ??
