Can you buy a Mercedes from an independent dealer, or do you need to buy from a licensed MB dealer?
I am looking at purchasing a preowned Mercedes S430 and there is inventory at both licensed dealers, as well as at independent dealers throughout the Los Angeles area. Ultimately I would prefer to go through a licensed dealer, but the deals are much better with an independent. Is there much more risk associated with an independent? If I have a mechanic evaluate the car from an independent dealer, am I buying with confidence, or with my fingers crossed? What should I look for in an independent if I go there? Or, what do I get by going with a licensed MB dealer? Many Thanks!
All dealers must be licensed to sell to the general public. Buying a Benz from a non-MB dealer can be a good deal, HOWEVER you should take it to an MB dealer and have them inspect the car. They can pull the maintenance history, verify that any recalls have been completed and check for any outstanding technical service bulletins. They will also inspect the vehicle and let you know what condition it is in. Don’t forget to pull a Car Fax report as well.

Janis Joplin – Greatest Hits $3.28 More than Cheap Thrills or even Pearl, Greatest Hits has helped keep Janis Joplin’s short-lived recording career alive for listeners who came along after her 1970 death. “Me and Bobby McGee” is the biggest draw, of course–it was a posthumous No. 1 single–but the rest is equally exciting. Despite the familiarity of the titles here, this goes far beyond the merely serviceable. Finally, the cover p… |
