Fraud proficiency at Mercedes Benz of Manhattan.
Fraud proficiency at Mercedes Benz of Manhattan.
I really did not expect the deal will be like that.
Last week I agreed to buy a used GL350 from MB of Manhattan, that worth around $ 45K. The car was shown at the showroom. I signed the contract with the saleswoman and agreed to pick up the car following day, because I promised my wife to get her a car in our anniversary.
I send them all information required early morning to receive the car in the evening, to fulfill my promise to my wife. I tried to call the sales manager and saleswoman; but no one answered me. Around noon, I received a call from the sales manager telling me that the car was sold for another customer who signed the purchase order before my arrival and somehow, it was not removed from the system. He told me that he has good news that he found a better car with a higher value and will give it to me at the same price. The only thing is it needs two days to be ready.
I trusted him, because I have no other option, and I expected to receive the car in two days, but unfortunately it took 6 days to be ready. I went to on Tuesday to receive the car but waited around 30 min for someone to help me.
I asked to see the car before signing the paperwork, they told me to sign the paper work because the car need time to be ready. I insist to see the car (I told them that it looks like I am buying a fish in the sea). I waited for around 1 hour till they told me that it is ready to see it.
Actually, I did not feel comfortable when I saw it. I do not know why !!
I went back to the business manager to continue the paperwork, and he got angry because he waited for me till I saw the car. He started his duty and asked me to sign the paper where he added a mark, I tried to read them but, he was trying to prevent me to do that. The only thing he made me to read the warranty which was very expensive and also the wheels coverage, when I started to negotiate with him the price, he got angry and he made me to declare all warranty.
I got the car, but I was really very upset. And when I bulldo it, it felt that I had been deceived. The following day my wife called me telling me that she got an error message when she started the car. I texted the saleswoman, but she told me that the car in under warranty and they are responsible.
Also, I noticed a paper I signed that states that I can return the car within two weeks with full refund, but the business manager made me to declare it without know its content.
I feel that I had been Deceived and they wanted to sell me this car because it has factory problems and they were very professional in deceiving the customers.
Everyone should be careful when they deal with Mercedes Benz of Manhattan.
