Understanding the DCT.

So, what is this DCT thing?  It is the abbreviation for a dual-clutch transmission.  It is also known as a twin-clutch or double clutch.  It uses two separate clutches; one for odd and one for even gear sets.  In your German vehicle, think of it as two separate manual transmissions working within one housing as one unit.

Perhaps a more technical explanation may be that A dual-clutch transmission eliminates the torque converter as used in conventional epicyclic-geared automatic transmissions.  Just to give you a sense of history, the first series road production of the DCT was in the 2003 Volkswagen Golf.

Owning a Pre-owned Luxury Car.

Nothing…we mean nothing holds up, looks better, and gives you more pleasure than a beautiful used (new to you) Mercedes!  When you go shopping for a new ride, why not consider a used Mercedes rather than a brand-new domestic model.  We think you may be glad you did, and not only can we show you some models, but service them as well.

Here are some things you need to know about owning a used luxury car –

1.  It is cheaper than you might think. 

2.  The less the initial cost, the more repairs that will probably be needed.

3.  They are easy to repair…if you know the right people.

4.  It is simply better than most cars on the road today.

We invite you to visit our lot located at 5115 S Santa Fe Dr in Littleton, CO and take a look at our inventory.  We are The German Car Shoppe and we take great pride in not only offering Denver’s best German car service, but some great used models for sale as well.  Come on in or give us a call for a service appointment at (303) 798-2287.
