Our goal here at Helms Bros. is to provide an amazing product as well as experience to our community here in the Queens area. There are certain restrictions imposed on us by Mercedes Benz that require us to be confident a vehicle is not being exported. One of the ways this is determined is looking at past vehicles exported. Mercedes let us know that the exact vehicle being looked at was purchased a month ago at another local Mercedes store. They had received confirmation that the vehicle had already been exported within a month of getting it. Due to that recent export, we are not allowed to sell you another one. We regret the frustrations this has caused. As a business, we create our success by delivering vehicles- it would never be our goal to intentionally not accomplish that . As a franchised dealership, we are required to abide by our corporate guidelines. We would never "play games" and we would never treat anyone differently due to their young age. We are always grateful for the diversified client base we get to interact with. -Suzanne Cochrane- General Manager

WRONG, you notified me I owned 4 GLS's yet this whole issue is over the only GLS we have which is the one for my mother. So what about the alleged other 3? Please cut it out. I've provided PROOF OF INSURANCE (that it's still active) and even complied to the request of "Take a picture with a newspaper on the window and vin". I took a picture Dec 1st w/ Dec 1st newspaper (Greek American paper only sold in United States). What more do you people want? Your management is horrendous.
