I'm on the east coast and see a car I like at this dealer.. Anyone from CA contingent have any opinions on them. Good,bad or indifferent?
It isn't P-car, but a Merc..

Thanks for any help

I have not personally done business with them, but I know of at least two bay area rennlisters that have
done so and have found them to be excellent (especially compared to pretty much every other B.A Pdealership) and I consider their opinions to be discerning.

They're good, especially on service side. Like Larry said, several fans on this board.

You are the most famous poster on this brd (IMO), we are all very lucky to have you. Your opinions are great and as I do, most of my friends read your posts.. Mooty " for President"

I'm going to contact, Raj and Intercity, Or i will drive it to FL, Eeeek!
Today in Fort Liquordale (lauderdale) I found a 2014 AMG, E63, Wagon I'm trying to convince the wife to purchase.. Thumper, but not the "hammer"

On another note, why do Mercs. depreciate, seemingly, faster and harder than most other German Marquis?? It is amazing, worse the my motorhome..

Mercs depreciate because of the sheer volume that dealers need to sell them in to keep these megastores afloat. that, and at least here in SoCal- there are a jillion leased black/black mercedes on the road.

Thanks CJ
These MBZ are like toyotas around here too. The mega stores are amazing every time I walk into one I expect a hardy " thank you" and a kiss on the he lips, as I get screwed. My wife and I are crazy about the sport wagons. We already have one, a 2002.. I take it to the races and use it as a Motorhome. It cant tow my trailer though.. The E63 wagon is great, one year old and asking 98k, from a 115 sticker..

I have been in love with the 500e w/124 since my boss had one in the 90's. He owned a Saab dealership, and we would blow the doors off the infamous Saab Turbo with the little 4 door grocery getter.. He called it his " taxi" in a reference to bullet proof taxi's of Europe. And as a bonus it was partially made in the Porsche factory..
I need garage space, badly. what size building do I need for a very modest collection? I bet you know

For 115k sticker I would buy it at $95k. Don't fall for their "wagons do not come as often as sedan". Which is true but this is no black series.
How many miles?
As for fletcher Jones I'm not a big fan price wise. GL hunting!
