Replying to: martinf (Oct 30, 2006 11:28 pm) 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. You guys can laughing at me

Replying to: irishrogue1 (Nov 03, 2006 1:04 pm) It has 220 Parktronic $750 326 326 Premium Package: Entertainment Package $4,400 413 : Panorama Sunroof 27 month lease $3,800 drive off $414+tax = $449/month 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 equipments: Rear Cargo Cover, Cargo Net, Cargo Tie Downs, and Grocery Bag Holder. Did any of you get the above items with your R500? |

Replying to: martinf (Nov 06, 2006 12:31 am) 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.

Replying to: sussan (Nov 06, 2006 1:09 am) after talking with the general manager. I am missing Cargo Items from the new R500 that I leased less than one week ago. I am getting run arounds with the dealership. I am concern about the day that my lease would end and I have to return this car. The MB financing may ask for these items. If MB of South Bay does not give me these items what are my alternatives? |
