My wife and I purchased a Certified Pre-Owned 2011...
My wife and I purchased a Certified Pre-Owned 2011 Mercedes E350 in May, 2014 from MB of Nanuet. We honestly don't think our purchase could have gone any smoother. Our salesman, John Kim was pleasant to deal with, responsive and very helpful throughout the entire process.
As with many car buyers we started our search online to get a sense of competitive pricing for the MB model/year we wanted. We live in CT and visited our local dealer to check out their inventory. Found a couple of cars we liked, but didn't like their pricing and limited willingness to negotiate, so we left. Went back online and checked MB of Nanuet's CPO inventory. Found a car we liked at a good price, called and spoke to John. Long story short, the dealership dropped the price below the number at which we said we were prepared to buy. So from our perspective what started as a good deal became a great one, esp. after factoring in CPO financing and other incentives MB USA was then offering.
During the next few days John guided us through the necessary forms and we discussed taxes, registration, insurance, etc. We visited the dealership the following Saturday to close and pick up the car, which until then we had only seen online. As it turned out the car was immaculately detailed in and out, very clean and sharp looking. Except for a few touched up scratches I had to look very carefully to spot, I had a hard time telling the difference between our 49K mile, dark blue CPO car and new ones.
After finalizing purchase, MB financing and warranty documentation with the pre-owned sales manager (who was also very pleasant and helpful), John spent over an hour demonstrating our car's features and options, set up Bluetooth and even pre-programming some frequently used phone numbers into the A/V system for us. Then without having given the car a previous test drive, we drove off the lot to our home in CT about 50 miles away and were pleased to find the car performed as well mechanically as it looked. There was one minor braking issue -- so minor I didn't bother reporting it until 6 months later -- that John said the dealership would take care of during our next routine maintenance visit.
Based on our experience we would give this dealership a 6 star rating if we could.
