Illinois Mercedes-Benz Car Dealers

let me tell you about Mercedes benz of Chicago... they are one of the dirtiest dealerships I've ever dealt with, i think crooks. Last year, I gave them 1k deposit on a Mercedes GL320 bluetec, it also had a 10k rebate at the time, we settled on 17k off sticker. Was going to drive up on weekend and do paperwork, drive the car home to michigan. Saturday morning, I get a call, saying my car (the one with deposit....was "accidenttaly sold"....YEA RIGHT!!). they clearly knew i didn't believe a word of it. but he said, I can get you a car, same one, no problem.... I drove the 4hours. I get there, sure....same car......a year old......with 9k miles. I asked why he failed to mention the mileage and it being USED. he said..."it looked new, thought you'd be fine with it". Got back in my car.....went to a different dealer...30minutes later, had a new benz. that afternoon, I wrote a letter to Illinois Attorney General and also BBB. Never heard from anyone....but I did contact my MI Attorney General, got a reponse in 2 days. Saying they will speak to IL office on mybelf, and even followed up with me 1 month later, saying IL office is not being helpful. So be careful guys........ I hate MB of chicago.

Bought a 2010 E550 coupe today: MSRP with P2, Appearance Pkg, & black paint was $63,125. Selling price was $60,337 before doc fees, sales taxes, and title were added.

looking to lease a new 350 in Northern IL....what nkind of pricing are people seeing?

Got this offer. C300 4MATIC with premium package 1 and Ipod and automatic, Black exterior and black interior 39 month Lease with 10K per year MSRP = 39600.00 Negotiated price = 36800.00 Money factor 0.0002 Residual = 51.7% = 20,500.00 Monthly = 441.00 Incl taxes (IL) Cap cost reduction = 1750.00 Total Out of pocket including taxes+ 1st month + title = 2543.00 Some one please tell me if this is a good one or not. I am new to lease.

Originally posted this in the "experience" forum, but it's probably better suited for this forum. Can someone provide the MF and the residual value % for both the GL 320 and the GL450 for 12k miles per year at 30/33/36/39 terms (whatever is best)? I'm looking at leasing one this week and would like to know where I should be at a payment amount. While I'm in the Chicago area, I'm in Will county and not subject to the Chicago lease tax (although I do have to pay the state of IL sales tax on the full purchase amount). Last question would be recent purchase experiences (dollars off MSRP). I'm eyeing a GL that's stickering at $70.9k, getting a price of a couple of k's below that. Thanks John
