dealers

Morning! Trying to get hold of a used B200 CDi SE and would much prefer to buy at my local MB dealer in Blackburn - people buy from people! Of course, they and associated dealers in that chain do not have one for sale (they tell me the one showing in Leeds has been sold!) The Merc site tells...

I thought I had better try and justify missing the GTG on Saturday....I was in Paris. Here are some the shots I took on the Champs Elysees, where there are many car dealerships that have gone one step further to impress - apart from MB! There are concept cars from Toyota and Renault, the...

This Saturday, I'm test driving a Lexus LS430. After the scandal that was my 10 minutes in a CL500 (MB-Direct), and main dealers either not phoning back or cancelling at the last minute, I telephoned Lexus, who could not have been more helpful. So, I've got the Lexus for 3-4 hours this...

I would be most grateful if someone could guide me to a dealer who specialises in used g-wagons. Many thanks. :)

Wandered into an MB Dealer on Sunday and got chatting to a salesguy about SLs. They are being facelifted in June 06 or thereabouts. Anyhow, I set him a task to come up with some deals, and this is what he came up with ... 1. SL350 Auto - Cubanite Silver, Black Leather Walnut Wood...

Went to pick the car up after they looked at the steering wheel buttons and door handle trim (got to take it back, awaiting parts) and they bring the car round to the front. Bloke gets out, hands me the keys as some woman in a Focus reverses out of a space, does a massive U turn and revereses...

Whilst reading a review about a Vauxhall Tigra (don't ask!), I came across this: ..... It never happens, though. Every day my mailbag is stuffed to overflowing with letters from desperate people who can’t even get their dealers to be civil, leave alone helpful. I know one chap who became so...

Did anyone else see Andrew Frankel's scathing comments about MB dealers, tucked away in his Jag S Type long term test update? http://www.channel4.com/4car/road-tests/4Car-fleet/jaguar-s-type/report06-3.html Nothing new, I know, but MB must be dismayed when they read this sort of thing.

As some of you may remember, last year I had an accident in my C36 and an almighty fiasco with a French MB main dealer trying to get the repairs done, only to find they left out a few key parts to the suspension. :rolleyes: Anyways, it's still not over, still being dragged out by MB Customer...

Rather than go off topic and take over Maff's excellent thread I thought I would sart a new topic on outlining our methods of trading or dealing with dealers! I can only go by my own experiences and will outline my last purchase experience. Step one. Contacted as many European importers...

... but not MB dealers, for a change :) Went to two dealers today to see about a pickup truck. A Nissan dealer for the Navara and a Mitsubishi for a L200. The difference was quite startling. First, the Nissan dealer. Receptionist had to go and find somebody. A "salesman" (term used loosely...

Hello all, Im on the look out for a MB E-Class estate. As my mechanical knowledage is not fantastic, are there any independant dealers in the NW England area with a good reputation (possibly used by regular formistas on the site)?. Also, is there a particular model / year(s) that are worth...

Does anyone else have poor experience of incompetent main dealers? I cannot be alone in this and am apalled at what I have experienced recently. My wife has a 2001 CLK320 cab that I bought from Denmark (saving around £8K!). For some time it had been ripping off the window seal that is...

The car is due for an A service very soon so thought I'd phone around for quotes from a dealer to see how they compared to an independent. After being put on hold for 10mins, I was put through to a customer service bod who didn't know a thing about servicing and he would get someone to call...

On behalf of a bod from somewhere else... My old man's driving over to France and the exhaust has gone on his Merc. None of the UK dealers have the parts in stock and he's thinking of trying one in Calais / Northern France. I've searched on the internet but cannot find anything - anyone have...

Hello all! Im planning to get my car serviced in the next few weeks possibly, and i just wanted a few points of view of other merc owners, to see what the general thought is on getting your car serviced. MB dealers, or an independant specialist? I have a w202 c280 97', 86,000 miles...

http://www.talkaudio.co.uk/vbb/showthread.php?t=66086 that is jsut scary (not only is it dangerous but that is nearly 300 quids worth of speaker)

Now that Mercedes seem to own all the dealerships they all seem to charge the same amount for servicing - and that's a very large amount. A "B" service on an SLK (and most other models except the A-class) is now £535!!! This is an absolutely ludicrous amount for what's on the service schedule. I...

OK Mercedes dealers are strange (Rust Claim) Just poped the car into the dealer to get him to look at 3 small (1mm) rust spots and they have said that they are looking to replace the two front doors, the bonnet and the boot under warranty because they can see "rust spiders" starting under the...
