Replying to: chile96 (Mar 10, 2008 8:05 pm) Sorry that you're having such a fiasco with that dealership... perhaps try MB of Laguna Niguel. They are the second largest dealer in Ca. Ask for Fleet.

Replying to: chile96 (Mar 10, 2008 8:05 pm) Sorry you're having such a tough time. But great deals are common in Orange County. I bought my 03 S430 for 16% off MSRP in Laguna Niguel. And my 07 GL450 for 10% off in Anaheim. No haggles. Didn't even take much negotiating. I even negotiated the GL price before I came in. I have looked at FJ in Newport Beach, but was never happy with their sales people. The cars I bought were well below invoice. For the GL550 I don't think invoice is out of ther question even though it's relatively new. I notice lots of them sitting on the lot when I go to get my GL washed. If you want I can inquire with my salesperson about what you're looking for and see what kind of price you can get. Or I can give you his contact. Or tell him to call/email you. I am new to this blog and don't know how we can contact each other via email. I don't even know if I'm able to give the salesperson's name at this site. Let me know if I can be of help.

#180 of 223 Re: MB-Tex [mbewildered] by bmwconvert Mar 11, 2008 (10:07 am)
Replying to: mbewildered (Mar 09, 2008 10:40 pm) As noted in my earlier posts on this topic, I intend to complain -- loudly -- to MB about the MB-Tex... just haven't had the time to do so yet. I doubt I can win an argument on how uncomfortable they are, despite how bad they feel. I do however think the discoloration issue is a legitimate defect. My hope is I can either get the front seats replaced with leather, or at the very least get some money back to cover the cost of high quality sheepskin seat covers. I suspect my kids in the back seats will have to continue to suffer.   It's a real shame because I otherwise unconditionally love this vehicle.

Replying to: bmwconvert (Mar 11, 2008 10:07 am) I agree with you. My 07 GL450 is only 6 months old but look 5 yr old. I will never buy "fake" leather again. MB says it's my 1 and 3 yr old. I wasn't aware they sat in the driver's seat b/c that seat look the worst. I've had 2 other MB in the past with leather and never this problem.

Replying to: occarfan (Mar 11, 2008 10:36 am) Its funny because back before the merger of equals MB-Tex wore like iron but looked and felt so much like real leather that sometimes you can't tell the difference. I get the occasional late 90s early 2000 MB in with a MB-Tex interior and unless I really study it I can't tell the difference between it and real leather. MB must have changed the formula the use for the MB-Tex because it is of much lower quality then it used to be. You can find Fintail Mercedes from the 60s with MB-Tex that still looks brand new but this new version starts to wear out in a year or so. Replies to this message: occarfan (Mar 11, 2008 2:56 pm)

Replying to: british_rover (Mar 11, 2008 2:49 pm) I don't think we can do anything about it, can we? I think MB knows we will still buy their product, but with leather next time.
#184 of 223 Re: MB-Tex [bmwconvert] by jayme5 Mar 11, 2008 (4:52 pm)
Replying to: bmwconvert (Mar 11, 2008 10:07 am) I am also very disappointed with the MB Tex. My seats are dirty all the time from my jeans! I really think there should be a recall on them. Something is not right. Everything is perfect with the call except for the seats. If you have any info please pass it on

Replying to: andy1993 (Mar 15, 2008 11:18 am) Pretty good deal. It really depends on how much competition there is in your area. In Southern California, especially with gas prices, I know 10% off is easily had. They gave me that deal for my GL450 by phone. I just went in to pick it up. Actually, salesman agreed to it so quickly that I wished i asked for a larger discount. Oh well. Pleased with the GL. I'm sure you'll enjoy yours.
#187 of 223 any real diffs between the 08 and 07 GL450? by mhay Mar 29, 2008 (2:28 pm)
any big differences between the two years? would you recommend buying a 07 with 19,000 miles on it for $59 thanks
