Minneapolis / St. Paul Dealers WANT You to attend the Auto show!
All dealerships receive stacks of free tickets and coupons good for reduced ticket prices. Before going to the show, visit your local dealership, maybe where you bought you r last car or have your car serviced and ask them if you can have tickets to the Twin Cities Auto Show. Dealerships normally have more ‘discount ticket coupons’ that might be good for a few dollars off show ticket prices, but if you ask nicely, they’ll probably give you the top shelf, free tickets.
What about Mercedes-Benz at the Twin Cities Auto Show this year?
Look for the new GLE (ML class replacement / rename) and the GLC (GLK class replament / rename) SUVs at the Auto Show this year… chances are there will even be a GLE Coupe on the floor along with all the usual C, E and S class offerings in addition to the Mercedes-Benz specialty models like the SL and SLK, always crowd favorites at the Auto Show.
Feldmann Imports salesman Don Harvey retracts the automatic top on this white SLK at last year’s auto show to the delight of onlookers.
SUVs made up a large chunk of MBUSA’s sales in 2015, with low gas prices, look for strong SUV sale sin 2016.
Mercedes-Benz Roadsters like the SL and SLK have been perennial favorites of Mercedes-Benz fans for decades.
