If we're to reference Jim
If we're to reference Jim Walker's personal experience with his Lucid Air needing mobile service 5 times in the first 5 weeks of ownership, how is it any less apropos to also view his buying experience at Mercedes and the 50k markup he was asked to pay? You can't have it both ways, N'est-ce pas?
Dealer markups as of this post are rampant despite growing inventories. This has been my experience while shopping for an economy car in the northeast. Additionally, I think it would take me about 15 minutes to find anecdotes of new owner experiences with the Mercedes brand that would paint a not so rosy picture.
