Drove from a far distance to deal with this dealership and this whole process took three long days as they kept putting other customer ahead of me.
Everything at first was great, the final day when it came down to do the paperwork they told me an approval was ready and gave me details as to how much my payment would be and what the required down payment was on two cars i selected. I just had to now pick the car. Finance manager told me he had sent my loan in with both cars.
I asked on the car that would give me better monthly payment if I could take down to a local Mercedes Service Tech to have it checked out. Elite Servicing down the street, specialize in Mercedes. Salesmen said no problem, but then I watched the owner, sales manager and salesmen all huddle together in closed door office only to be told that the bank had raised the rates and fees on all my deals all of a sudden. I suspected something fishy so I played along and said ok, well whats new payment........salesmen sheepishly looked down and motioned for me to walk outside and talk. Said deal was off, that it was my credit. I asked about what new payment was as I had been approved with other banks....he just mumbled, deals off. Everything was fine, they were ready to swipe my credit card for the deposit until I asked if it was ok to have the car looked at and then the friendliness died in a second. Stay away from this dealer, something is up with their cars, easy to see where they have painted over parts of the car. BTW went to a Fields BMW on my way home and was approved in less than an hour and picked out a new car to purchase......guess it wasnt my credit!!!!
