Hi All, looking a a demonstrator with 5900 miles, Nave, Shadow Gray, and Premium Package. The started at $40000 - i am on an extended overnight test drive now - Edmunds says TMV is 39300 - I am going to counter at 37500, trying for 38000 in the end. Thoughts? Stay away from the demo, and go new (0 miles)?

 

My mom purchased a demo benz ml320 In 2000, and that car was a complete lemon. Everything that could go wrond did go wrong. It go to the point where we drove the rental car more than the actuall car we owned. The funniest problem was when the door locks went bad, when you would lock the car the door locks would go up and down a few times like a rythem then stay unlocked but when you try to open the door the alarm would still go off. So I say do not get a demo car

 

Would you marry an ex-hooker? I kid, but really, I would never be able to feel secure that the car wasn't abused over those 6,000 miles. I mean, it probably was to some extent...

+ For an opinion you need to give all DETAILS. Like..... YEAR for one. 2010? 2011? Coupe? Sedan? Package? etc etc etc.

 

+1 i would look for a super deal on it considering the car most likely bypassed any kind of break in period. everytime a customer drives it they need to demonstrate what kind of power it has right?

 

i would stay away from a demo car. cmon u can't be serious.. ure already dishing out $37,500.. ure just purchasing trouble like that.. and that's some pricey trouble right there

 

as others have said, i would personally stay away from a demo car.

you can get some great deals on a new one. check out overstock.com... in my area they guarantee me a car for 1,750 below invoice

 

Needless to say I got my head out of my ***

I ditched the demo in a hurry and went with a black / black G37x sedan with black out grill, premium, navi, wood trim' splash guards and performance wheel package for 39500. With 20 miles on it!
