Just went to a MB dealer over the weekend cuz I was bored and priced the new CLK55. I know the MSRP on that is $69,000 and they wanted $90,000 for it! Just outrageous!

Awesome car, but sorry price I would just wait until someone paid the luxury tax and sales it, because they did'nt realize they could not pay for it....hehehe Should at least be a lot cheaper.

Man, you guys should check this place out: http://www.texascarsdirect.com/cgi-bin/inventory.asp

They had an XJR a couple of months ago for $12,000. Low miles, available extended warranty.

I almost bought a '97 528i from these guys but decided on the TL instead. They have the best prices in the state, and cars are always really nice. A local shop in town highly recommended this place, too.

I sometimes wonder if I made the wrong choice when I look at their available inventory. Comments?

Man, I told you guys! Seriously - it's a wholesale place, no overhead. they will sell to the general public w/o wholesale liscense, but you'll have to pay TT&L just like everywhere else.

They have like four guys who work there, NO SALESPEOPLE. You look, you like, you test drive, you buy. No haggling on prices - what ya see is what ya get.

AMAZING prices always. Usually very few BMWs, though. I see this week they have about 10 nice ones. Always 5 and 7 series Bimmers, never any threes or eights. I've been following these guys for about a year, and have visited many times. Cars are VERY CLEAN.
