Dez Desbiens was incredible straight shooter/bottom line/no nonsense and unbelievably straightforward. I leased a C300 in April 2009. I'm belatedly doing this review b/c didn't know you could do one for a car dealer. Anyways, I called around over a couple of weeks to multiple MBZ dealerships. Could not get a straight answer and/or they wanted me to come to the dealeship and/or the prices were inflated. Bear in mind, I live down street from Fletcher Jones MBZ, and really preferred to buy from them. But, FJ was too busy for me/couldn't get any timely info, etc. So, on a whim, I called Long Beach MBZ and asked for fleet and was transferred to Dez. Within 2 mins, he gave me a price that was way under anyone else. (He said "go ahead and shop it all you want....no one in OC will beat it"---well I already had shopped and knew he was right.) I was at dealership within 25 mins. The lease transaction took like 30 mins..possibly like 10 mins in Finance Office....By far easiest car purchase/lease of my life. I had to leave to go to a kid's party. When I returned home, Dez had the car delivered and waiting on my driveway. I never looked back....Dez, if you see this, apologies that I really never got to tell you this.
