If you disagree with the price then so be it but he is allowed to post the prices that he is allowed to sell it for. I am sure if he was in control of his allocation he would give all the cars away for cost since he is in a not-for-profit business

Anyways, I have met Marcus and he is a good guy and positive contributor to this site.

Ithe last 4 cars I bought I bought the first year of. Hummer, MB, BMW,Range Rover. All four were mechanical nightmares. the 220 has 6years on the body 600 Ponies under the hood and all the luxury you could ask for.

I like the 221 in 2009 when the bugs get worked out. Until then..drivin my car...like a movie star. (my kids sing it with their mom ..makes me laugh)

Not sure why he'd do that, but no worries.

And for the record, there was no inconvenience at all... in fact, you posting it, and then sticking around to offer opinions and insight is probably the thing we appreciate the most. I know that I, for one, would like you to keep doing so!

If your GM has a problem with that, put us in touch!

Well, I found out that we sold the car, that is the reason that he wanted me to remove the ad!! I think it is a member of this board, but they did not contact me to process the transaction. If a member of the board is the lucky new owner, please post!!!

I like Marcus posting the price as well. Keep in mind that the price he posted was still open for negotiation based on your credit, etc. While it wasn't the absolute cheapest price, none of our cars are investments. If all you worry about is depreciation, you are in the wrong market. Everyone knows that a base of any model holds its value the most. By contrast, the most loaded will have the worst hit. Then again, that is the difference between an S430 and an S65.

I just ran a Netstar search & no white G500's for '05 or '06 on the ground. I even looked to cars incoming across the US & nothing! You will have to order and '06, if you want the white "refrigerator".

Thanks for the info. I would definitely want an '05 or '06. I am not interested in the 7 speed tranny. Is it possible to get a build sheet from you to spec it the way i like it? The MBUSA site doesn't have the G build feature and also I noticed it misses many options for the E anyway.
