SoCal Area Dealer Info
Hi everyone, first time MB buyer, really like the GL, going to do a test drive today in Buena Park, CA.
I think some of you are also here in SoCal, any suggested dealer contacts in the area or any recommended dealership? Any comment or suggestions are welcome! I'm willing to travel to San Diego if I need to grab a good deal.
Appreciated.
Dennis

So.Cal. Dealer
I have purchased numerous MB cars in So.Cal. and from last experience, Keyes European was pretty good. Before that MBLN was great...

Fletcher Jones is the #1 volume dealer and usually will have the best pricing. They are also #1 in volume of arrogant jackass sales people. That's probably the defense mechanism they've evolved to from dealing with all of the arrogant Newport Beach crowd. If you enjoy being interrogated by old grey (actually white haired) Gestapo geriatrics in 3 piece suits, you'll have a field day at Fletcher Jones. I'd checkout Foothill MB, Laguna Niguel MB, or Keyes European as someone already have mentioned.

I test drove at three different dealerships. First in Buena Park, then in Fletcher Jones and finally in Anaheim. The last test drive in Anaheim was to decide whether or not to have the lighting package so I drove one with and one without the difference is hugh. So to me it's a must have option.
As to pricing, spoke with a dozen dealerships and Carlsbad came out offer the most off price. Riverside and Ontario were close on pricing too. To me it's almost like the further out of LA the more willingness of dealership to negotiate with you. It probably also depends on their inventory level.

Glad Hoehn did a good deal for you. I use them for service all the time, but could never negotiate a good price with them. I guess dealers price based on inventory and other factors and sometimes one gets a great deal on one car and a year later the same salesman tries to make you pay MSRP...

I deal with South bay mercedes and they have been great. Msrp never comes up in our converstations. Ask for Roger ****.
FJ was the worst dealer I have ever encountered, I called and asked about any deals going on for a S550 and their reply " MSRP is the best we can do, we have the most S550 in the westcoast." Good job, you will continue to have the most.

Fletcher Jones wouldn't budge off purchase price. I was told all the usual stories about how GL's are in such demand that no dealer will discount them, etc... I assume because of their location that they are used to selling to rich people that don't care if they save a few grand.
