hello everybody.
they arent here yet, but i have to play with the germans from mercedes today. last night i put a big sign on the side of my toolbox that says "BUY AMERICAN". the big changeover from chrysler to mercedes happens on the 1st of january, so they are coming down to make sure we are snobby enough to represent and sell their overpriced crap product.

Morning CT...did someone say Mercedes???
We were trying to sell a 1983 500 for a customer of ours. Agreed with a client on price...they took it to a local MB specialist...he's worked on NOTHING but MB for 30 years. Turns out the electrical gremlins have attacked...the car needs a new dash...and...a new wiring harness. Total cost...$3500!!!
That for a car we were trying to sell for 12 grand...needless to say...the car goes back to the original owner today!!!

If a Freightliner is ultimately a Benz why is it a POS?
