Damien Wheat at W.I. Simonson Mercedes Benz

As a foreigner, with a young credit history and many dreams, I called the dealership to explore options. I wasn't too optimistic about the situation, but Damien gave me the opportunity to 'work it out'. I went to see him the next day, I explained the situation and he goes 'guess what - you're never going to drive your old car again'. He was right.

Skeptical, I continued the process. He was super friendly, patient and made me enjoy the whole experience, even though we knew it was going to be tough to get me through. He came back with the numbers, and he knew it wasn't going to work for me. He was ON MY SIDE. He literally did some magic along with the management team and offered me this great deal that involved trading in a previous lease.

I went home that night on a Mercedes-Benz, and with a new friendship. How amazing is that!!!

Thanks Damien and team!

My credit situation was impossible (no history, first-time luxury car seeker, new in the country, no wage slips). Tried to get this car through a couple of lease agents but no one was able to approve me, the Mercedes company being very selective in financing. It took a few trips, various documentation and lots of persistence and patience on both sides. But Mr. Wheat had fought for me and worked with what I had, supporting me a hundred percent. At the end - I got the financing, and got the car. Still can't believe I'm driving a Mercedes. Thank you.
