South Carolina Mercedes-Benz Car Dealers

Dealer names are ok, and I think first names but not last names are acceptable. Our experience with our current MB and our next (in process) has been great with MB of St Clair Shores. Not sure if you know, but Novi, Rochester, and Bloomfield are connected and (our experience) is that they do not compare to the dealer in SCS (and we live within 1 mile of the Bloomfield dealer if that says something). If you ask for the Sales Manager (Ken), tell him you heard some good things about the dealer experience off of this board and he may recognize my user name. Good luck.

I think 49,000 is really low unless you have some type of super deal. Best I have been offered from 5 dealers in the NC,SC,GA area is 48,850 + taxes and tags. And that is with a 2,000 USAA discount. Good luck though. MB sales were down 31% 09 year to date compared to 08 year to date through August. Down 17% this August compared to last August. I did the Vehix thing also, but not sure how accurate their information really is. The TMV at Edmunds is substantially higher, but then I have always paid well below TMV anyway.

My lease on my BMW 525 expires at the end of November. BMW has good lease incentives for the 2010 5 series through the end of August, including waiver of my final few lease payments on my existing lease. I really want the 2010 E350, but without any incentive on the money factor (or residual or price) I can not justify the extra few hundred a month for the MB versus a similar MSRP BMW. Is there any way to know if MB (or BMW for that matter) will come out with lease incentives in the next 3 months? Tks. Mike Greenville, SC

May I ask where in SC? I'm getting all sort of answers from Carlton in Greenville and MB of Augusta, GA

Leased MSRP 37,650 for $480. $680 out of pocket 39mo 12K ( I Feel OK about that). SC sales tax is limited to $300 on auto sales(pretty nice eh?) But I was bumed about the lack of Leather and the memory seats that in order to operate I have to hold the button (mine is number two) in, until the seat and wheel get done adjusting. There are no numbered keys like a real memory seat has.I have four windows that have a one touch up and down but have to hold a button for 10 seconds at an awkward angle on the side of the door to adjust the seat. Easy exit/enter feature is half assed also (only the wheel goes up the seat does not slide back) like in a real system. $350 for I Pod hook up( get serious) thats 10 cents worth of technology (did'nt get it) There is a lot I like about the car but it seems the attitude of MB is if you want a luxury car instead of an entry level luxury car come up with some serious money.
