Fletcher is known for their non-disclosing over the phone approach. They want you there because they know it will help them to get your business.
 
10/31/2006 is the last day of the month, and they will give you a price or discount factor over the phone. Be aware that they will change their price if your credit is in a different tier than tier 1. Let them know ahead of time over the phone.
 
Since we can't mention names of salesperson in the forum, at Fletcher, ask for their internet sales manager, and he will deal especially it's the end of 10/2006.

Pureautomobile is right. Try calling Fletcher Jones again and speak with the internet manager. I think the month end timing is key. I really don't know the impact your non-Tier 1 status has on the deal. I would also try Simonson again. I know I spoke with the internet manager there and he was easy to deal with and very willing to quote prices on the phone or via email. The internet manager at Keyes in Van Nuys was also easy to deal with. The internet manager at Mercedes South Bay is also worth checking.

I finally got my R500. Many thanks to those who posted
and who replied to my postings and guided me thru the process.
I called The Internet manager of Simonson in Santa Monica. He told me they don't have any R500 but I should try Long Beach, South Bay, Fletcher, ...
 
I just love the Simonson guy. He has always been incredibly straight, honest and quick in quoting prices. I buy/lease cars every two years. He will have my business next time I am in the market for a car.
  
I called the South bay Internet director at 6pm and he emailed me the description for two R500s one was $63k the second was $62k. I picked the Alpine Rain with MSRP of $62k. He agreed to match the quote that I had from Simonson.
 
By the time we got to South Bay they had added $800 to the
drive off. They said the quote of $2999 from Simonson is just the drive-off price. The drive-off price ant total drive-off are not the same. The $2999 was the drive off and $3800 was the total drive off! Also they added $25 to the monthly payments saying they will try to amend the contract the next day to show $389 which they have not.
 
The next day we noticed the car was missing the cargo net, cargo cover, grocery bag holder, and cargo tie downs. The car was not cleaned and had barely enough gas to get us home. I have called them and emailed them and now I am waiting to hear from them. I will keep the forum posted.
 
Overall I love the car and it drives great. I am still figuring out the gadgets.

I am living in near by Buena park,CA. I had been read those deals in this forum, I feel like I am totally trapped by those silly lease deal by finance manager, which is I never had it before. I will never never make a deal without reading carspace.com's advice.
 
Here is what I have so far in my R500,(MSRP $65000)and had deal with $15000 discounts,
 
panorama sunroof,
navigation,
Auto tailgate.

I have leased/bought three BMWs, one lexus, one Infiniti,
two Mercedes Benz so far. This last expirence with R500
been the worst in terms of customer service.
 
The description of R500 states the following are standard

The numbers on your deal are excellent. Insofar as the Cargo items, I would call the salesman at the dealership and get them. You do not want to be stuck in 27 months "owing" them back to MB financial. What was the name of the dealership you finally went with? Please post, they did give you an excellent deal!!

I lease the car from MB South Bay dealership in CA.
I called and emailed the salesman and his boss at the dealership a few times. I finally connected to the salesman. He initially told me the R500 does not come with Cargo items. I then spoke to his boss, he was not so sure and he is suppose to get back to me.
 
I am very concern about owing them these items at the end of my lease. I am a bit frustrated by the whole thing. I
think they don't care about their customers after they have made their sale. I just hope I am wrong.
