The mercedes dealers are as bad as "Buy-Here Pay-Here" lots, lately. Dealing with high-pressure negotiations, especially when it's over something you're personally invested in (like, if you want a car), can be harrowing.

I would imagine brain surgery would be less irritating, since the patient's knocked out and can't argue with you and reach for your wallet while you're operating. LOL

I love the car so far. And to answer Mr. "I'm not trying to be rude, even though I really am"s question. I was there for like 4 hours going back and forth with 5 different people to get the deal done. And it was a 3 hour round trip drive on top of it. It was just a hectic day. Not much of a modder, but I do think the car could be lowered a bit. Anyone not happy with SDS lowering?

Enjoy the Beast! It'll put a smile on your face after a long crappy day...turn off the music and let the engine sing to you.

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of deal did you get? I am in the market for a similar car... I have also found MB dealers difficult to deal with, but I don't have the patience to spend hours negotiating. I just tell them what price I want to pay, then get up and walk out when they start giving me all the BS about how their car is worth $12K more than auction cars.

I read about them in consumer reports almost 20 years ago and they are wonderful. They get 5 contracted prices from five dealers. No hassle, no negotiating. My friends and I have used the many times.
