It’s not just in the US where Mercedes-Benz was able to post record sales for the month of April―Mercedes-Benz Canada also reported that the 3,249 vehicles it delivered last month accounted for a 13.7% gain on the year-on-year comparative figures and helped it reach a record figure for the month.
To be more specific, the record monthly sales for April were in the passenger and luxury light truck segments, with a grand total of 3,029 units delivered. That’s a 19.7% growth over April 2011, and contributes largely to the year-to-date gain of 1,371 units, accounting for 15.8%. There were 1,814 passenger car units sold in April, while the total luxury light trucks delivered is 1,215 units.
In terms of smart unit sales, April saw 154 vehicles sold. This does not include the additional smart fortwo units sourced for the car2go car-sharing service in Vancouver, bringing the service’s fleet to a total of 325 cars.
Pre-owned vehicle sales were also strong for Mercedes-Benz Canada, giving it the best April on record as well with a total of 1,272 units successfully sold by the division. That accounts for a 14.4% increase over the same month last year.
Are you super rich? If you're answer is yes, then I bet you're getting a lot of options and choices for everything. One of them is getting a "free" Mercedes-Benz.
The CEO of C1 Bank (formerly Community Bank), Trevor Burgess, announced that they are offering a pre-paid interest when you open a CD worth $1M. And that interest is no other than a Mercedes-Benz luxury car. If you think you're getting a C-Class, you're mistaken; in fact, you'll have your choice from the best, an E350 Cabriolet, E350 Sedan, ML350 and a 2012 SLK350 Roadster. Taxes, title and all the other registrations also come for free.
By now, you may already be asking "what's the catch?" Yes, there is. Again, it is a pre-paid interest, which means that basically, you are allowing the bank to borrow your $1M and then after 5 years, they will return it without interest. Instead of getting the normal APR, you'll be getting a car upfront. Sounds cool eh? But if you withdraw the money before the 5 year-period, you will get the money you deposited, minus the car's cost and $3,000 withdrawal fee.
Have that amount of money to spare? Then go ahead and 'lend' it to C1 Bank and get any of the cool Merc models!
