I think there are two MB stealers. They are both young and have no clue how to service old cars. I see their seeking employee adverts on CL all the time. The turnover there must be huge. It is a family of small market new car floggers out of back water towns in Oregon, Idaho, and Alaska. Around here they cover almost everything but the Chrysler/Chebby/Honda market.
I have gone to four of their outlets to attempt test drives since April. Only once was the car actually on the lot. And that was because it was stashed behind the building where all the recent trades await transport to the large detail/inspection warehouse. Other times I was put into something I was not interested in on the lot. May as well use the opportunity to play with fit and feel. I am pretty sure they bait and switch to get people in and then end up just putting the things that do not get a bite into the auction yards. There is a thriving secondary and third tier used car market in the state. clay > On Oct 20, 2019, at 11:58 AM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > Is there an MB dealer in ANC?
