You used to be able to search for a certain car, and see all those cars available. Now it make you put in your zip and ONLY shows your local dealer. Am I doing something wrong?

They changed it. No longer can you search by model. Best you can do is put your zip code in the top of page search field. A drop down opens up on the left side of the page. Click on "Browse All" and you'll open up a search by state. They you can go to each dealer and search their inventory. What a drag....

thats ridiculous at least was better than autotrader carguru etc was official site and i was look for for dealers sale inventory
my guess dealer complain about competition from other dealer and here we go consumer lost again
so this is push us to buy from non mercedes dealer.
my last 5 s550 was from official mercedes dealers now i spcially look from others
2016 AND PLEASE MERCEDES LET USER CONSUMERS TO ACCESS PRICE AND CONDITION OF CARS DO NOT DICTATE US TO LOOK ONLY 1 DEALR
AND REMEMBER THERE IS OTHER OPTIONS FOR YOUR CONSUMERS

This has changed again. As of today, one can search on a national basis for pre-owned on MBUSA.com.

Thanks for the heads up on this. I don't like the new search engine vs the old one but at least I'm not using Cars.com anymore. I had tried to register my disatisfaction with MBUSA but there is no way to provide feedback on the site functionality. Glad it's back.
