The entire buying experience was filled with lies and distrust. I was working with Riley Hunter to purchase a grey GLS 450. He stated zero incentives to purchase - ok - I get the in today's market. However, he stated if I purchase the vehicle under a business he could give me $1500 off MSRP. After going back and forth, he agreed to a discount of $3250.00 off MSRP if we put in a business name. Originally, I wanted to trade in a vehicle, but the dealership didn't want to give me a decent trade-in. In fact, Riley told me to try the Carfax appraisal program and shop around in my hometown. I did that per his recommendation and found a dealership willing to pay thousands more than Mercedes-Benz of Salt Lake City. On a Saturday, after both Riley and I agreed on a price, I said I would give a credit card for a deposit. Riley wanted to wait until Monday for the deposit but assured me the car wouldn't be sold out from under me. Monday morning at 10:30 am, I called Riley with my credit card information for the deposit - this was going to be a cash transaction. On that same Monday I also sold my possible trade-in car to a local dealership and was moving ahead with the purchase of the 2021 GLS450 in Salt Lake City. About 1:30 pm, Riley called and offered a higher trade-in price for my current Mercedes but I told him I already sold the car via carfax per his recommendation. About 20 minutes later he called me to tell me they couldn't offer me the incentive of $3250 off the MSRP if I didn't trade in my car. I was shocked he was reneging on our agreement. I also said I already gave my deposit and this was a done deal. Riley told me that was his marching orders, that he hadn't yet processed my credit card and they didn't need to offer any incentive as the market was crazy and could sell it regardless. I asked to speak to his manager, but he told me take or leave the offer. Finally, he said he would allow me to have a $1250 business incentive. I reminded him the initial incentive was $1500.00. Almost all of this conversation took place over text; so I have the texts to prove our conversation. The price change occurred once the dealership realized it was 2 women - myself and my wife - purchasing the car. I strongly feel they decided they didn't want to sell to a same-sex couple. We own a road construction business and have purchased over a hundred vehicles and have NEVER been treated this way or had a deal be so difficult. Clearly, once they found out 2 women were purchasing, they changed their minds. Riley said to help make up for the price difference he would throw in rubber mats and protective tape to go down the doors. I flew in to Salt Lake 2 days later to pick up the car - I was told Riley would pick me up at the airport. Riley even asked for my flight information. Once I arrived at SLC I texted Riley to say I landed...no one came to pick me up at the airport. I ended up taking an Uber. Riley said there was miscommunication but would reimburse me for the uber. That never happened. As I was looking over the car, I noticed there were only rubber mats for the first two rows - not the third row. I asked Riley about this and he said they didn't make rubber mats for the third row. Also, the protective tape had not been applied. I pointed that out and it finally got done. Then, I went to parts and asked about the third row mats...they make them and had them in stock.Riley was upset and said the rubber mats came out of his commission. Riley only quickly ran through the very basics of the car and had thrown out the window sticker. Once I left there has been zero follow up - nothing. I flew in from another state and paid cash yet wasn't even offered a water or any follow up calls/texts to make sure the drive home went well. Hands down it was the absolute worse car purchase we have ever experienced and if I didn't need the car so badly, I would have run away from this dealership as fast as possible. More

Forced extra fees I just purchased a 2019 Mercedes G550 for sticker price of over $150,000 and put a deposit prior to vehicle arrival. I went to pickup car when it arri I just purchased a 2019 Mercedes G550 for sticker price of over $150,000 and put a deposit prior to vehicle arrival. I went to pickup car when it arrived with cashier check but was told I had to buy tinted windows and a clear bra totaling $2200 or they wouldn’t sell me the car. The items hadn’t been installed on vehicle either so I disputed charge with Amex. Dealer won’t give me my title or plates so I’m having to file complaint with motor vehicle enforcement. I won’t be back with managers like Brett Robinson there. More
