Do the cars come with what CM gets?
We will be buying a low mileage Mercedes S series, late model for a great price from CarMax this week. I know the one I want, and I have to stay home because of a severe back issue that really doesn't allow me to sit around for 3 hours while someone helps my husband do the test drive, the general " oh wow" factor he does ( aerospace engineers love ALL things that zoom) and then get the car paid for, likely one handed one key fob and sent on his way or not..
We had a bad experience with a 2000 MB SLC convertible 2 years ago in that the car was very low mileage and still has 0 flaws that we are aware of, but it was stripped of: $140 owner's manual, the 2 floor mats ( they did put AMG ones in after he was walking away because I truly CARE about a luxury car looking luxurious from any dealer's showroom, and the wheel covers ( not hubcaps but wheel covers, and I hope I am using the right term.) They were going to sell him the car without necessary and photographed parts. Again, they put AMG wheels on the car and it's OK but it's NOT OEM.
The outlay of cash purchase to CM for the S series car should matter to them. Will they help him get the car in the condition it was manufactured ( there are no known or shown imperfections but I only see one key fob and no headrest pillows in the photos and again the center console looks covered or dirty to me.
I refuse to go and get upset at the people who are choosing to make their sales people sell incomplete used vehicles as " loaded and like new with extremely low mileage", so staying out of it at home. I'm losing sleep wondering if we should finally buy slightly used ( depreciated) Mercedes elsewhere but he seems to think CM is fair and has an almost unlimited supply in our major city. Thanks to anyone with help. I guess the other part of my birthday gift has to be the missing OEM, the fix of a bad looking tiny paint touch up drop on the hood and for me to simply be grateful to have someone who loves me enough to buy cars which should be great for a long time. :) Best to all, thanks!!
