exactly! however, it definitely gets tiring fending off all sellers that see an mb (or any high end vehicle) owner coming and immediately raises his prices because he thinks we'll pay whatever price he throws out there. it's even worse when it's a sponsor of this site claiming special deals for forum members!

i think sponsors should at least put the lowest price they can advertise and THEN tell us to pm them if there's a better deal on the table.

regardless, i went to his competition (who is a reputable sponsor of mbworld) and got a smokin deal!!!

PM's are a thing of beauty and allows YOU the members to get better pricing. If you dont like the price move on. Now I do understand that there might have been in the past some less than desirable vendors here- Vivid is NOT one of them.
Thanks boss!


Here's some pics on E92 M3





Give me a call at 480-966-3040 ext 228 if you guys want a better pricing, I'm willing to work out the best deal as possible for all of you.
