I doubt any dealership would report an incident like this to a competing dealership, although I am sure they would report it directly to MBUSA.

The crack helps this photo opportunity tell the whole story. Excellent job of framing this Goldeni245. We should all print this out and look at it the next time we go pick up a 'new' car.

Well still there is going to be an unhappy SL owner, I don't think this guy is ever going to know what happened to his car during shipping and is there were any undercarriage damages.

What are the chances that the dealer is lying?
I am not familiar with auto brokers? Would an autobroker have access to the new SL's? What are the pros and cons? Is there warantee?

Sure, a lot of them will have deposits at dealers so they can get in on the big money game. Pro- they do the shopping for you to get the best deal by normally dealing with the Fleet/Internet depts of several dealerships. They save you the time of driving from dealer to dealer, but will charge a fee for this service. Con-you don't deal directly with a specific dealer, so you don't develop a relationship with anyone if things go wrong with the car or you need something that maybe a "good salesperson" would take care of for you!! Moral- If your time is worth more than most, it maybe a viable choice or if you are a famous person. The warranty would be the same if you bought the car from a dealer.

just a wheel alignment job and the re-alignment of the exhaust system, because of excessively deep-throaty exhaust tone modulation, -- atypical of the SL500!!
