Product placement

Mercedes-Benz (brand of car): ACTS - The video discusses a client's expectations for a Mercedes-Benz C300 to perform like an AMG, and mentions other Mercedes-Benz models like the C43 AMG, CLE 53, and CLA 35. Removing these mentions would change the topic of the video. Mercedes-Benz (logo on name tag): APPEARS - A logo on the salesperson's name tag. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.

I want to get out. He claims that and the handling are not to his liking at all. He doesn't like feels drives anything. The C300. What did he expect? I know someone told him think about it because he wants severely lower than what an AMG. To go down. I don't think. A massive down payment? I'm confused. How? I think he had a previous trade of some sort. Client correctly from this morning. A two year year lease? And he started it six months ago and his payoff is only $37,599.

He wants to be under $500 or $600? That's what I came to about before. With any money down? Is never going to happen. I should have started with that. That lease anywhere not unless you had a huge down payment or a trade of positive equity probably has now. The only thing that if we had like a demo CLA 35 I think we might but we have one. It's the gray on red one that is going significant in comparison. I don't even a much better for him to
