There is a term for that type person. I believe it is "hater".

MDMercedesGuy

Or someone who is pissed off that they weren't able to jump the line.

Bottom line, if you were able to get someone to sell you their demo and jumped the line to get it, you did a disservice to them by plastering it all over the internet. Under the table favors should be kept as such...

ScottCLS55

Wasn't anything under table about it but just in case I don't want him to get a call about it.
No laws were broken. I didn't plaster it on the net. I just put it here to share and give reviews didn't think it would get to this point.
Don't worry after my photo to prove my point Ill go back to not posting.

MDMercedesGuy

You supposedly have in your possession/name a car that is not even released for sale yet - you posted that on an enthusiast forum. What did you expect to have happen? At worst case, you are going to have someone who has to wait their turn do exactly what was apparently done here and find out why you were entitled to that car before they are even being delivered. At best, you're going to have someone here wonder why you are entitled to have that car now and question you here on that.

No laws were broken - only the agreement between MBUSA and this particular dealer. An agreement that could very easily get their franchise pulled. Nothing like pissing in your supplier's Cheerios

Whatever photo you post isn't really going to prove anything at this point.

Agree with MDMercedesguy. What did you expect to happen? To get a car that isn't released yet is going to raise some eyebrows. I think this thread would have gone a different direction if the OP explained how he got the car before it's available. Not that he owes an explanation but if he's going to start a thread saying he got one, you have to expect the next logical question is how?

I don't think members questioning the OP is being jealous or haters, I think if someone has something that isn't available people are going to be curious.

Then to take down posts and change a profile is only going to hurt your credibility. If you got the car, congrats, but if you don't want the questions or attention to follow, you shouldn't have posted it in the first place.

^ Exactly.

So CLS55 you're saying you own a 2014 S550?

ScottCLS55

Whatever, my profile will be back after the 15th. I have better things to do. I don't care about my credibility here, this is a internet forum. I am a very good customer of Mercedes and loose more than your(03 CLK 430) car is worth when I sell each one of them in 6 months. I doubt they are going to tell me to stop buying $100k plus cars.. Germancar 1 are you ordering a S class? didn't think so. be back in 15 days.
Questions are fine but calling to try to cause trouble is a problem. Think I'm fake fine. I don't care. I have the **** I say I have. I started here at MBworld with a pile of **** 2000 S500 fixing it myself way back. Just wanted to share, regardless of what you think I don't have to answer every question. especially when the reason is to be a "hater" as someone stated.

MDMercedesGuy

At the end of the day, nobody really cares what you drive.

As for the rest of your post... well, it goes to show that money can't buy class.

hyperion667

I also know money cannot buy class........from personal experience

Germancar1

Oh wait my profile isn't update. I have a 2013 650i and a 2010 Lexus now. I sold off the CLK430. I was just asking a question, no need to get defensive because this all sounds fishy.

What does me ordering a S550 have to do with anything? Simple question do you own the car or not and if so how did you get one before the official release date. That is the simple question everyone here wants an answer too. If you don't have the answer to either than people will call bull****. It is really quite simple.

BTW I can purchase (this afternoon) anything Mercedes sells so watch the snoot factor.

Why do we have to wait until the 15th which just so happens to be the actual release date? Clearly even you can see how suspicious it all looks/sounds?

MDMercedesGuy

Germancar, don't you know that there is a ratio of net worth to vehicle that you drive that you are supposed to be meeting? Sheesh... you're falling down on the job man!

I guess I must really be poor with my lowly C250

oswiff

is there any chance scottcls550 had his account taken over by a troll? maybe his kid got on his account and is messing with it?

it seems strange that a member on these forums since '05 can turn so hostile so quickly. to call out other members ability to afford things seems like a significant jump from his original posts.

OP's first few posts were well written.. curious, but well written (if memory serves) but his latest posts not so much...

Germancar1

You're probably richer than richy riche lol. I know the type..the quiet rich.

This guy supposedly owns a Ferrari, but his avatar was a stock photo of a 458 in a dealer showroom...
So someone who can walk into his garage and take a photo of a Ferrari at anytime chooses to use a generic photo? Then the only photos he posts of "his" S550 are taken at the dealership...? That's just not human nature, instead of taking pride in your own car, maybe he can only take these photos at a dealership?
I use a stock 2014 S-Class photo as my avatar because I don't have my car yet...
Smells catfishy to me...

schuk

I don't believe OP is full of ****. What I do believe is his dealer got reported by one of our members who called OP and forced him to remove hastily all references to his new car from this forum.

boylston

I don't believe that he could have gotten title to the car. Fishy to me. I'd think he'd want something a bit more exclusive than the dealer demo. Oh, I forgot- this is the one who plans to trade it in six months for the S63.

cookstar

The 2014 S-class was released in Middle from as early as 3 weeks ago, even countries like Iran with a closed market have S-class on soil being purchased by buyers from the beginning of September. There is no such thing as "dealer" or "demo" cars in Iran, no such thing what so ever so people are buying these cars. You could walk into a private dealer in Iran right now and buy one and drive it today.

Please take a look at the attached pictures for confirmation.

That's because Iranians don't wait for their Mercedes-Benzes, they take them now.

This thread concerns the S550...

ScottCLS55

Called and talked to owner of dealership. He said **** the internet trolls, he had clearance to do what he did. lol

I had white car on order, this one came in first I took it they are using white car as demo.
I guess you got to fake it till you make it.

I'm out of here. Have fun.

Kratos-TM

Well definitely looks like legit proof. I know some could argue you test drove the demo to your garage......LOL.....but at this point I think it's time to close the case on this one.

Good job on getting it early.

K-A

Haha, MBWorld = Pwned.

cookstar

S500 is exactly the same thing as the S550, same engine, same displacement few more hp for Middle East and Europe. The buying power has left America since the recession, its no longer America first class country and everywhere else third world. sorry to be the bearer of bad news!

cookstar

who gives a flying **** what the forum thinks, if you really do own the new 2014 than good for you!!!!!

K-A

People on this board lately just turn into collective gang-up types, like a pack of dogs waiting for the first one to draw blood then wag tongues to get a piece of the action. Always resorting to the lowest level of class rather than giving those the benefit of the doubt. I could tell O/P's story sounded legit from the get-go. Peculiar to say the least, considering the circumstances, but legit. What A-hole calls the dealer? The line is drawn when it gets "personal" as in actually and literally personal.
