GWN dealers are lazy as … well .. lazy. When looking for cars since 2018, the dealers will take a trade and then toss it at the storage lot once they took a passel of pix. The car languishes waiting for detail for weeks on end while they post it to CL or their site as being for sale. If you

And the dealers will not give even a 30 day warranty if a car is beyond the 100,000 mile/ 6 year extended warranty. On Mon, Jun 14, 2021, 5:04 PM Randy Bennell via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > It used to be here in Manitoba that the government would send out a > notice requiring

Can't be done here, MA law states that any car for sale from a dealer must meet a state safety inspection. I'm sure there are weasel ways around it but the "good" dealers probably aren't trying it. -Curt On Monday, June 14, 2021, 4:16:01 PM EDT, Randy Bennell via Mercedes wrote: I
