C55 AMG for w/end...

[R2D2]

A long time ago when I was just a kid, I was taught on abank lending course that if you decided to say yes and lend dont to it grudgingly. Make the customer feel good about how you lend as well as the fact that you did lend. Surely having decided to lend out a £50k car it would have created such a good impression to have it valeted, fuelled and ready to go. Also the dealer saying "I dont know how you got this...."

Basically the message is, "wish I didnt have to lend you this. You can blooming well clean it and fuel it...."

So how likely are you to feel loyal to that dealership and buy one from them?? Will they ever learn?

Agree totally - If they treat you like this when you are only looking to buy - God knows how they will treat you if you do!! I would take my £50k+ sale elsewhere!!

Maybe most MB dealers quite rightly treat all customers equally (badly!)

Hi

Glad you enjoyed the car. Will you be ordering the car from that dealer or another? Was that the dealer that messed up the CLK??

Hi,

I agree with your comments about bad service from Stealer and the car should at the very least been fully valeted. They appeared to be nice and friendly but not the sort of service one would expect but unfortunately that’s how most Stealer’s appear to be from my experience. I don’t want to sound arrogant or anything but I would have thought because the “Principal” pretty much arranged the demo that the staff would have gone out of their way to make a good impression .

Tan: Cheers. This is a different Stealer to the CLK mess (I would never go back to that Stealer and I am sure they would not want to do business with myself either after the exchange of words that we all had). To be honest I am not sure if I shall use this Stealer to purchase the vehicle yet. I am meeting up with person who arranged this with the Stealer’s Principal tonight for a drink (which I def owe him now…) and will express my concerns and will then take it from there.

Someone is coming to collect the car today. I’m really going to miss her and spent about 2HRS out last night after 9PM just cruising around.

Other half has ordered a digital camera over internet yesterday (as she says she found a very good deal and its supposed to arrive today). There will def be pics of the beauty as I have got them on my mobile but if the digital camera does not arrive before the car is collected today then I will use the ones from my mobile to share with u all.

Yesterday lunch time my other half’s friend came over for lunch (I was not home) and she commented “why do I want to pay more money for exactly the same car that I already have…” as the demo too was in Silver….

Hi

Where did you order the car in the end? I hope that you have better luck with this dealer!
I have always found Manchester dealers to be be the best.

Hi Tan,

Its actually from same Stealer that did the demo (I'll PM u the details if u want...)

DP rang to and spoke to me and apologised for car not being valted etc. and "Pormised" I would get first class service and it was good price too.

Thanks Brian – go down to the same stealer and u’ll have no probs getting demo – they are a little too laid back (but just make sure urs has been valeted abd is clean). Been invited to launch but too far to travel….

The CLS is stunning from pics and something to look very forward to test drive.
