I just leased an E350 4 Matic from you in November. When will the new body style be available and how much of a difference will there be from the current style?

The new E Class Mercedes Benz will be launched in model year 2010, which should be around September of 2008. We have very little information about the car. We have yet to see pictures of it nor do we have any pricing information yet. As soon as we do, we will provide it to you. We thank you for your purchase of your E350 4 Matic and hope that your experience with our company and your enjoyment of the vehicle is/was outstanding.

I’m new to the United States. What documents and personal information do I need to provide or bring with me if I would like to buy or lease a car from Herb Chambers?

Thanks for your inquiry. Based upon what you have told me you will need a US drivers licence, an established good credit history @ home, to be at least 18 and have a US social security card. May I recommend to you that you submit one of our on-line credit applications on www.herbchambers.com . You will find it under “Financing” then choose “Apply For Financing”. It will be kept confidential and be directed to a financing Client Care Specialist for a pre approval.
Then we will be able to let you know exactly where you stand.

Don’t worry, with all the Colleges & Businesses in New England we do help people such as yourself all the time. You are going to love buying a car from a Herb Chambers dealership!

I filed bankruptcy before, do I qualify for financing?

Good question, the key is if you have reestablished some credit. If you want to make certain, let me suggest that you complete one of our on-line credit applications on www.herbchambers.com . You will find it under “Financing” then choose “Apply For Financing”. It will be kept confidential and be directed to a financing Client Care Specialist for a pre approval.

The good news is The Herb Chambers Companies have 44 dealerships and works with numerous banks. Many banks are willing to overlook some past credit issues. As I mentioned, your options are based on how you are doing at rebuilding / reestablishing your credit as well as your job history, income and the amount of your down payment.

I also suggest you do as much of the following as you can; Do save as much cash as possible to put down on your next car. See if you can maybe get a cosigner, with good credit. Avoid @ all costs a buy here…pay here used car lot. The unknown quality, high interest and premium you will pay will only further hinder your efforts. Continue to make timely payments. Remember your credit history with others since your bankruptcy will dramatically help what you are trying to accomplish.

Furthermore, as you go about your shopping I want you to know that we have established in all of our dealerships a Client Care Specialist (CCS). The CCS’s job is to provide Internet shoppers like yourself with a painless and professional shopping experience as you shop for a car at Herb Chambers.

I hope this helps & good luck!

What are the most fuel efficient cars?

I’m sorry, but I have to answer this question with a question. Is your question a concern because you are worried about the overall operating expense of your vehicle or are you concerned about the environmental effect of your vehicle? While it might seem that these two questions are one in the same, they are not. We encourage you to go to Edmunds.com to answer this question. If your concern is fuel mileage alone you will find that Honda and Toyota small cars lead the top 5. If you are concerned about fuel mileage alone in an SUV or Truck, you will find that Ford, Lexus, Toyota, Saturn and Jeep lead the top five. However, if you are concerned about the overall cost of operating the vehicle go to Edmunds.com and research, “true cost to own”. This will give you the overall operating cost of a vehicle for the typical driver who does 15,000 miles per year over a five year term and considers all costs associated with ownership. Often cars that are better on fuel economy still cost more to own than those with lower fuel economy.
