Thanks for visiting my blog! Please contact me if you're thinking about purchasing a Mercedes-Benz in the
Atlanta area.
If you look really quickly you would almost mistake it for a supercar!
I have signed up to walk in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure this October in Atlanta. It is a 60 mile walk, over the course of 3 days, all over Atlanta. This will be my third year participating in the walk and I am looking forward to adding to our team totals! In the last two years we have raised close to $50,000 and, with 9 women on the team this year, we should get to $75,000 for our three year total. The whole event in Atlanta raises millions of dollars for Susan G. Komen that goes towards research, detection and treatment of breast cancer.
$2300 is the minimum that I have to raise for the privilege of walking 60 miles. I have been lucky to have the support of my dealership as well as family, friends and blog readers to start the ball rolling. I was hoping that there were a few more readers who might help me on the way to my goals! You can use the link at the left or click here to reach my personal fundraising page. Every dollar helps in the fight against breast cancer!
Thanks in advance!

Long time – no see! Sorry for being out of touch. I had to switch from Blogger to WordPress and then rewrite some html code. It took a little longer than expected but I am back! I will start posting all of the information I have been setting aside and continue posting regularly. Thanks to everyone who called and e-mailed to check in on me!
It snowed at the dealership! That never happens here. Happy 2010 Everyone!

JD Power has announced that Mercedes-Benz topped the charts for customer retention in 2009! This study measures the percentage of vehicle owners and lessees who replace a previously purchased new vehicle with another from the same brand.
Our loyalty increased 8% over last year to 67% overall! In these tough economic times it speaks to the value of the brand that 2/3rds of our owners come back time after time!
The study says “Mercedes-Benz has steadily improved its customer retention rates during the past five years, and in 2009, has achieved the highest rate ever attained by a manufacturer since the inception of the study,” said Festekjian. “In particular, customers cite the resale value and appearance and styling of Mercedes-Benz models as primary reasons to remain loyal to the brand.”
It has officially been announced that a portion the next generation C-Class will be built in Tuscaloosa, Alabama beginning in 2014. The plant will continue to produce the ML, GL and R-Class and add approximately 1/5 of worldwide C-Class production.
“Due to tough competition in the C-Class segment, it is extremely important for us to optimize our production costs for the future,” stated Rainer Schmuckle, the Chief Operating Officer of Mercedes-Benz Cars. As the best selling Mercedes-Benz model in the US, having production here will save time and money in distribution.
If you live in the Greater Atlanta area and need someone to adjust the time in your Mercedes for Daylight Saving Time you can bring your vehicle to Atlanta Classic Cars during normal business hours and our Mercedes-Benz trained technicians will be happy to assist you. They will reset your clock and answer any other operational questions you may have.
While you’re here, request a complimentary multi-point inspection to ensure your vehicle is safe for upcoming shorter days and longer nights. If maintenance or repairs are recommended, receive 15% off parts and labor. But hurry! This offer expires on November 28, 2009!
