I had to ask for someone to help me the last time i was in the MB dealership . . . . i was wearing Shorts, T-shirt, and Chucks (Converse Chuck Taylors). Told them i was there to look at an "E-Class" . . .and they looked me over a second and noticed my watch (longines at the time) and decided i was worth talking to a little bit . . . . urghhh. These people . . . . what do you do.

Lol, sorry I went for the low hanging fruit there. My MIL actually lives in Jersey and I’ve had a great time there every visit. And it was an incredible looking car, it just needed a wrist shot to go with it. ;-)

I was wearing an old omega, so you all would have probably made fun of that too, if i had wrist-shotted it! :-)

PS. so, in the spirit of that Rolex forums thread, "is your car and rolex a match?" ... which watch goes best with a mercedes benz GT C?

What do you think of this Benz?

I have a GTS. Love it. More of a GT than the 911. And it’s a hatchback which is handy for B&Q...

Would go for the GTC next time. 4 wheel steering and a GTR without the spoiler and bucket seats.

Seth has one (Superdog), he can tell you how incredible of a car this is. The 911 is a totally different experience than this beast.

Love to drive but not to own, I would worry about it constantly. Useable basic cars for me these days.

I love this car. To me, it’s a perfect blend of retro looks with incredible driving, power and sound.

I tracked it a few weeks ago and it was absolutely incredible.

You could’ve just said “Italian car” we would’ve known it was broken already

yes. or you could have 1/10th of paul newman's daytona. i get why people would chuckle at my suggestion because it is implausible but the point is simple. i am not a fan of modern mercedes benz but am so of classics such as the 300sl gullwing or 280sl.

that said i do appreciate what MB puts out there and am an no way saying this car isnt badass.

Seth has a GT and I have the GT R in green. They are great cars. We both live in NJ also so you would have company.

I started going to Benzel Busch ...

Yes, I know, wrong forum for a car post, but I have to add my two cents.

I threatened to throw the finance manager of Prestige M/B (Paramus, NJ) thru the plate glass window when buying my AMG. He had the audacity to try and undermine my wife when she walked out to use the ladies room. Like a dope, I still bought the car from them. Never again....

Benzel Bush (Also in NJ) wouldn't even address me until I inquired. Maybe because I was only dressed in a sweatshirt and jeans at the time. I ending up buying my GL from M/B of Nanuet, NY, and have been back to them twice more. Great dealer!!!!!

Funny how what should be a pleasant car buying experience still turns out to a drag....


Sorry for the rant, but now I feel much better!

FYI, my buying experience there was so bad, they gave me three free services.

And I still might not go back and use them. That is how much I despise that place.

They are shockingly horrible. I will never buy a car there again.

At least I am not alone in my anger, LOL!

Try M/B in Nanuet, NY. It is fifteen minutes from Prestige and the owner, Rich Hesse is a great guy!

If you guys want great amg sales and service. Send me a pm. I will hook you up with my sales guy who has been great to me. I never set foot in the dealership, call him, agree on price, order put in, they drop it off into my garage.
