My local dealer never ceases to amaze me with their incompetence and ignorance. Unfortunately they're the only one in town. I never go there if I can help it, but there was one time when I desperately needed a part RIGHT NOW. The young-un behind the counter didn't know what I meant when I said "124 chassis." You'd think even someone born about the time the 300E was introduced would be familiar with one of Mercedes' all-time best-selling models in the USA. I think that might have been the same visit during which a salesman I talked to in passing insisted that the Gelaendewagen didn't exist (this was before MBNA started importing them, when all the Gs in the USA were gray-market). There was one parked outside the parts department, and this salesdrone told me with a smirk that it must be an Isuzu Trooper or Mitsubishi Montero that some joker had attached a Mercedes star to.
