UE fines DC for unfair sales practices - good!

Looks like DC finally got their hands slapped - big time. And I love it!! Except you and I will have to pay for it. A buddy of mine sells Mercedes and told me a year ago that DC/MB was attempting to pull a similar stunt. If you bought a MB in Louisville - you couldn't take it to Indianapolis for service. The selling dealer must provide warranty service. The thought was to prevent a buyer from buying from a discounter and then taking the unit to his local guy for service. Didn't work in the US. Heil Hitler!!!!!!!!
