My First MB

Hello Everyone,

So after a long time of hanging around on these forums and asking many questions I finally pulled the trigger. I'm getting a 2015 S550 delivered to my front door and got 18.1% off with a low MF (what a deal)! I'm getting the options I considered the most important to me such as 4matic (for snow in flagstaff), 3D sound system, surround view camera, and heads up display. It also does not have the rear seat package which I dread beacuse the lack of space in the armrest to store stuff.

This car has been a dream of mine for over 10 years and in a few days I finally get to make that dream a reality. Why wait so long you ask.. Well 16 year olds don't buy S550's So I'll consider this my 27th birthday present as there is a good chance it will arrive on that day

I'm so excited to join the club!!! Thanks for everyones help and input.

Sweet ride! Nicely spec'd with a nice discount to top it off

Congratulations and enjoy the car!

We got our first S-Class with 26 although it was a used one.

Thanks. I haven't seen it in person before but I think it will look good.

No, We don't have an equivalent to an Ivy League law school. I'm a Cloud Security Architect and I design large scale networks within the cloud.

I also appreciate MB of Lynnwood working so hard to get me a great deal and to make the shipping happen. They were very professional and easy to work with. I will upload some pictures when the car gets here on Dec 4th.

MB of Lynnwood is a bunch of a-holes. The most outrageous dealership I have ever seen. Wait until you sign all papers and drive away. They'll then treat you like sh.t.

I just want to set my record straight. Even after the deal I have needed a few things and they have been nothing but nice and provided them quickly. I would talk to John (a manger) there and see if he can't fix any issues you may of had.

I'm glad that everything worked out great for you. I have had really bad experience with MB of Lynnwood. Other folks have had bad experience. You may or may not have the same experience as everyone's mileage is different.

For reference, here is how other people expressed their opinions on this dealership:
  • Mercedes Benz Of Lynnwood - Terrible customer service
  • Mercedes Benz Of Lynnwood - Appalling lack of customer service
  • Mercedes Benz Of Lynnwood - This dealership should be punished for how bad it is
  • Mercedes Benz Of Lynnwood - Extremely disappointed with my first experience with MB of Lynnwood
  • Mercedes Benz Of Lynnwood - Shady, conniving, sleazy salesmanship
  • Mercedes Benz Of Lynnwood - Just plain awful
  • Mercedes Benz Of Lynnwood - AVOID THESE GUYS AT ALL COSTS
  • Mercedes Benz Of Lynnwood - Will NOT go back to this stealership anymore
  • Mercedes Benz Of Lynnwood - A terrible after-sale experience
  • Mercedes Benz Of Lynnwood - Bad attitude of the general sales manager Terry
  • Mercedes Benz Of Lynnwood - Stay away from this dealership
  • Mercedes Benz Of Lynnwood - Serious Service Issues
  • Mercedes Benz Of Lynnwood - A TOTAL DISGRACE TO THE MERCEDES-BENZ BRAND
Just copy/paste any of these sentences into your favorite search engine to read more.


PS: It was John who actually tried to convince me that a gray plastic cover on my ML63 engine is made of carbon fiber. He said it is a new type of carbon fiber. That was really funny. I thought I'm dealing with professionals, and not clowns.
