Not seeing what you’re seeing. The link goes to a page saying something is missing.

Their site says the MSRP, nothing else. Not sure what you are seeing. I have never heard of ipacket so I don't have a clue who they are. I will say that I service my vehicles at this dealership but I've never come close to buying there. Their prices are ludicrous. As an example when I leased my S560 before buying it they had a similar car that was sticker around $3k higher but their lease quote was $600 a month more with the same terms. Even when I showed the manager the deal he said that's impossible and even insisted I was full of it when I showed him my car (and paperwork). They are used to dealing with those on the north shore of LI and most of the time people there don't even know what money is. I'm serious, it's astonishing how many of my neighbors and colleagues don't even have a clue about the price of things or what they should pay for cars and houses. They see a price and they say ok.

wiil this do it? from cargurus,


2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class S 580 4MATIC AWD - $125,000 - CarGurus

They may have changed it after I confronted them, cargurus were also informed and they owned it in email to me. I dont believe the people on LI are stupid either not to know the scams. I am a retired physician well off financially but refuse to be a fool.

New cars are almost never listed with a discount. They are posted typically showing the MSRP of the car. Be wary of third party websites as well. They’re handled by third parties on behalf of dealers and they’re prone to error. Always confirm the listing on the dealer’s site.

I'm pretty sure most online ads have legal boilerplate somewhere (fine print) that says while they try their best to be accurate, they cannot be held responsible for the veracity of anything the ad claims

I have NEVER seen my dealer (the one you are talking about) have a vehicle on their site listed as anything other than MSRP when you search a vehicle. I don't view it as a scam, You are looking at third party websites. Check the dealer's website and call. If you are as intelligent as you say then you should know this. If the numbers seem ludicrous then know they probably are and move on.

Intelligence has nothing to do with it!, the dealer is the one who advertises on the site and not me.

Thanks

Dealer is not responsible for inaccuracies on someone else's website.

Worse part is that they changed it on their web site after I pointed it to them. Case closed

Not one new vehicle on their website is listed for anything other than MSRP, nor I have I ever seen them do that before in the 15 years I’ve dealt with them and yet you saw them list an in demand car at $20k off sticker (the only one not at MSRP). Calling BS here. Case closed.

When you have nothing intelligent to say on the subject, it is always best to insult. It will always cement that you normally are intelligent and have tremendous social prowess to the new group of people you speaking with, you just aren't right now.

iPacket is a company lots of dealers use to give a simple showing of the car with pictures, build sheet, warranty info, and for used cars CarFax and VMI. It's basically a tool that the dealer can buy and use on their inventory. The price is set by the dealer. So for them to still have that car listed for $125,000 on iPacket is pretty misleading.

It's goodbye, not goodbuy. Nothing in any of your posts reveals what you are talking about. I clicked on everything I could click on and I can't see what you are talking about.

This thread needs to be shut down or even deleted.

All my questions have been answered by very kind folks in this forum except a smartass comment by a few including you. Pointing out a misspelled word does not change your qualification!. So chill and show your arrogance and stupidity after owning this car. I would request the moderator to close this thread so people like you dont respond to it.

Have a nice life

HAVE YOU NO SHAME?? All I did was to state with a link to what I saw and talked to the dealer who advertised on the site. If you want to be the dealer's *****, be one and leave me alone!!! Show this to your wife or husband and take their advise further, it will show their class too.

Hi Cheen....I think you said you are a doctor. I'm not saying you're wrong or right, but I clearly see that you need to visit one of your doctor's friends (i hope you have one) - psychiatrist.
Take it easy..chill out please. No caps necessary. We all can read, some of us with glasses

Thank you for your advice, I am ok and a very successful surgeon, please save it for someone of your caliber. taking advice from you is like taking medical advice from a funeral director.

THANK YOU AND GET BETTER GLASSES AND A BRAIN!!!

I'm lost. Are you retired physician or successful surgeon. Would you please clarify ?
For your defense I can say that I'm partially agree with you. Dealer should check 3rd party websites and make sure the info stated correctly, but on the other hand it's your job as a customer to contact a dealer and verify the price.
But..sorry.. I forgot...you don't take advices from people of my caliber.
