Review of Mercedes Benz of Fort Washingt...

If you re young, or a person of color, I would not recommend going to this dealership. My girlfriend and I were interested in purchasing a vehicle that they had on the lot, and we had an appointment for 3.

They pulled the car around for us, and told us to wait for a salesmen. As we re waiting we see multiple salesmen sitting in the office on their phones, not helping us. 45 minutes go by and someone finally comes over to us and says the car is being test driven by someone else, which was a lie.

My girlfriend and I got frustrated since we weren t being helped despite having an appointment, so we decided to leave. As we were driving, we got about two minutes away from the dealer and saw the car we went to test drive parked behind a restaurant, not being operated.

If it s being test driven, why is it parked? If we had an appointment, why would they allow someone else to test drive it when we arrived? I am a young black man and I truly feel as though they were skeptical about allowing me to test drive the vehicle because of the color of my skin.
