pogotango,


Was the salesrep. who jipped you on the E500, the same person who sold you all the other MBZ? If that is the case, then you need to find a new salesperson! The thing I want to stress most, is not to discredit a store due to one bad apple. There are plenty of very professional salesreps there who provide great customer service.

I would like to apologize for the bad deal you got on your E500 and if you have any concerns and need a contact, please feel free to PM myself!

I agree, I ordered mine with the Bi-Xenon's as well, its funny how such a pricey car doesn't come with it standard when others do, hell you would think all Mercedes would come with them but unfortunately they dont

.......Not to start another price debate, but the E55 at under $80K is an incredible bargain. The next car that has the %00HP engine is more than $110K. I think the E55 was priced this way in exchange for loss of some "standard" features in order not inflate the base price and allow the car to be sold to enthusiasts who dream to get their hands on the 500HP supercharged engine but are either unable or unwilling to shell out over $110K for SL55, CL55 or S55.

pogotango,

I work upstairs in the Pre-Owned building, where all the AAA/Costco/Internet clients are handled. Yes, Team Livadas has a nice set up in the showroom, but he has also been with the dealership for over 9 years! Also, just remember this, a dealership that knows you have already bought a car will tell you anything to plant the seed of doubt in your mind. I am not sure of the details on your deal, but the Van Nuys store is trying to lure you to their side by telling you something that may not be totally true!!

I don't know the specifics of your deal, but talk is cheap after the fact. Any dealer can claim they'd have beat another's price. And of course lease prices are very easy to manipulate by altering money factor, term, down payment etc.
That said, there are plenty of dealers who should be able to leave you with a good feeling about your purchase experience. No reason to stick with someone who doesn't.
