Entertainment package

($45,500 MSRP)
I'm in Central Massachusetts

Any comments?

Another Bostonian Welcome!

We've bought all our cars from Clair Motors (but their MB department just opened New England's largest MB dealer, Mercedes-Benz of Westwood) Pretty good people and sales are good, though service is kinda ok.

There's Herb Cambers MB in Somerville as well, though I never dealt with them before, Ali has tho

There's also Foreign Motors West in Natick (though, they don't budge on price much, we've tried with an ML in '99 just for kicks to see how much they would let one go for).

Good luck!

Thanks GDawgC220

Actually I already have an MB - an '03 E320 - I bought from Wagner Motors in West Boylston (near Worcester). They are pretty good with service and I have no complaints.

I've decided to get an ML and wanted to start shopping around on price. I figured that since it's going to be the same car no matter where I buy it from, I'll shop based on price and then can take it to Wagner for service. The only advantage to buying and servicing at the same dealer seems to be the loaner car and I can do without that since they pick up and drop off.
