5 STARS -- Outstanding Experience!
Danny Baptista reached…read moreout to me after I submitted an online inquiry, and we stayed in touch by text while I was at another private dealership comparing the model, options, and pricing.
Danny kept telling me that making the 30-minute drive to his corporate dealership would be worth it. He said they had plenty of inventory, could work out a great deal, and that I wouldn't leave without a new car. I admired his confidence...
Boy, was he right!
I never expected to drive away in a fully loaded, latest-generation 2027 CLA 220 FWD Hybrid, especially considering I still had six months left on my Lexus hybrid lease and wasn't even in the market for a new car just yet, research mode.
But once I saw this car unexpectedly next to the black one we were going to focus on, I gravitated to it. The red exterior, black wheels, and red/white/black interior combination is absolutely gorgeous. Add the ambient lighting, screens stretching across the dash, all the latest technology... this car is one incredible experience.
And the deal made it even better.
Danny was outstanding from start to finish. He was patient, knowledgeable, responsive, persistent, easy to work with, and genuinely committed to making the deal happen. He worked with management and never made me feel pressured.
A huge shout-out to Nick, the Sales Manager, as well. He worked with me through the final negotiations and ultimately helped seal the deal with a pretty bow. His flexibility was the difference between me buying the car there versus going somewhere else.
Danny and Nick made a great duo and tag-teamed the entire process very well. They didn't just earn my business--they earned my loyalty.
And I can't forget Mohammad behind the scenes! I probably reviewed the paperwork more thoroughly than anyone would, but he remained patient, transparent, knowledgeable, and even managed to keep a sense of humor throughout the process. Great guy!
This was my first Mercedes, and based on this experience, it potentially won't be my last. I came in simply exploring my options, and drove out in a car I absolutely look forward to showcasing more. Time to feel that elevated experience... That says a lot about the product, the value, and--most importantly--the people.
Danny, Nick, Mohammad -- thank you for making this experience memorable. You guys delivered! If you're considering a Mercedes, I highly recommend giving these guys a chance. The 30-minute drive was absolutely worth it. Work hard, play hard. Well done, team!
