Mercedes-Benz of Arcadia

My fiance was interested in the new C63 AMG black on black. He called and made an appointment to come see the car with Winnie of Rusnak Mercedes in Arcadia on Sunday 1/18/09. The night before we went black. He called and made an appointment to come see the car with Winnie of Rusnak Mercedes in Arcadia on Sunday 1/18/09. The night before we went to a Mercedes dealer in Glendale who also got a brand new just arrived C63 AMG black on black with all the options my fiance wanted. The MSRP for this was $70,760 (or something like that). The dealer offered to sell to us for $70K even. When we went to see the C63 AMG at Rusnak, we saw an unusual sticker next to the MSRP Sticker. It was called "Dealer Adjustment" and added $20K to the sticker price. When asked what that was all about, Little John (whom Winnie had asked to help us even though we got an appointment with her) said it was because the car was a limited production with only 1500 of them planned for production in 2009, it was in such high demand, they had to add $20K to the sticker price. When my fiance who had done a lot of research on this car told him no one was paying above MSRP for this car, Little John snobbishly said, "Then yous hould buy it from that dealer." When we said ok, then Little John said "what if we could sell it to you for MSRP?" My fiance informed him we already got a below MSRP offer from another dealer that got the exact car he wanted, and it was brand new from the dock. My fiance then asked if Winnie put that "dealer adjustment" sticker on that car just for him since she knew he was coming to see the car? Little John said no, it was there from day 1. However, I looked at the other AMGs on the lot, and no other cars had an adjustment sticker attached next to the sticker price. Also, my fiance further researched the internet on the C63 AMG and found Little John completely lied about the limited production of this car. It is not a limited production whatsoever. The whole experience left us a sour taste in our mouth that Rusnak Mercedes was stooping that low. They completely lost our trust and business. My fiance was ready to make a deal should he feel he was getting a fair deal. In this economy, where a luxury item is a buyer's market, I was surprised that Little John's attitude was exactly why car salesmen have such a bad reputation. His appearance was unkempt. His suit was hanging drunkenly around him. He looked very sleazy. So I guess his attitude was of no big surprise to us. More

I bought an SL500 here, the car broke down after the first week in NV. This dealer would not cover for anything. I lost over 4K in taxi bills and noone will talk to me about the problem. The general sal first week in NV. This dealer would not cover for anything. I lost over 4K in taxi bills and noone will talk to me about the problem. The general sales manager refuses to call me back and called me a liar when I told him that HE doesn'nt return my messages. Tried to talk to the district manager Brian Deets, but noone knows how to get in touch with him. Horrible Experience. You would think that after spending $89,000.00 on a car, at least the service would be good. More

Usually get my 3 benzes serviced here. Usually pretty reliable and friendly, but nothing special in terms of prices. Offer free shuttle if you live in the area, but the wait is not worth it. They also reliable and friendly, but nothing special in terms of prices. Offer free shuttle if you live in the area, but the wait is not worth it. They also are not very good at returning phone calls and am waiting for a few parts to come in which were supposedly ordered a month ago... <br><br>Never purchased from here, but they have some extreme markups on AMG benzes in the 10-20k range! I inquired about ordering a 2004 E55 AMG before it was released and the salesman said they won't take my order, but were willing to sell me one $25k over sticker. He must have thought I looked like an idiot.... More
