This is what happens when you used to drive one of the most powerful C32's in the country (maybe even world)!

Actually it is a bit low right now. We are number two dealer in the country, which makes us automatically a number two in the world, since Southern California has five out of top ten MB dealers.

We are the only dealer with it's own, separate AMG showroom.

Also, the list includes some new 2007 models as well.

I'm guessing the place that's #1 is where my SL55 is unfortunately being serviced at right now: Fletcher Jones Motorcars. I just found out that it is going to cost $940.00 to replace my front rotors/brakes =(

I swear I posted something about how good MBLN in and how much FJNB sucks ..guess FJNB must be a sponsor or have some interest in this site to have my post nuked. Won't help their rep, and now that there is a Lexus dealer across the street, it won't help them either.

I've played #'s with FJ over and over...they had th exact car I wanted. A smaller dealer blew them out of the water price wise. Basically the FJ GM let the SM know that he wouldnt let a good color (silver or black) go with out decent profit. I have since bought two more cars somewhere else and FJ still wouldnt budge. I even had a 800+ credit score meaning Tier1a money factor on the lease and one of the SM's at FJ is somewhat of a family friend. LN>FJ all day long, unless you need to have a golf putting station and starbucks present when buying a benz lol

So Cal/OC MBZ Dealers

http://www.dealerrater.com/

I think the ratings here are very accurate regarding the
local service and sales

MBLN = 3.0
FJ = 2.5
Caliber = 4.8

'10 MB E63, '08 ML550 ('05 E55, '05 SL55, '08 E63 GONE)
I've bought 4 MB's from FJ and each time I got Caliber's and LN's best offer first, went to FJ and they beat it. Now that may be because it's always my last stop, but I've explained to the Caliber and LN sales reps exactly what I was going to do and they've yet to give me a number that FJ couldn't beat.

FJ will of course beat offers from time to time, however I went back and forth a lot more than once...which is why I bought my SL brand new for over 25k off sticker. Also, to clarify, FJ is not the worst in my book. Its just that on my last purchase I really was looking for a specific car at a specific price...and they kept on giving me the run around, the manager actually told me the other dealer was lying since and said that my kind of discount with that kind of money factor was not possible....but that's not what my lease contract says...
