New Aussie Owner :D

Hi all,

Been posting a bit already but been patiently waiting for the car to come..

Dealer called me today to say the car just arrived I went in after work to have a look, the back was still all wrapped up and I couldn't open the doors because the manager had the keys in the safe and the manager had left for the day. Did take a picture with my iPhone though Looked better then I could have expected

Dealer put a priority notice on it, so I should be able to have it in a day or two instead of a week

This new C Class Coupe looks good in any colour, it all comes down to personal preference, no one can really not be happy with that part of it

I'm happy with my chosen colour (Diamond White) and it's growing on me even more all the time, I get lots of very positive comments from other people too all the time absolutely love it !!!

Look forward to some of your pics

Excellent, Monday will come soon enough

BTW I also got a cable & jacket and heaps more - pen, watch, small bag etc. without even asking for it, my dealer simply told me on delivery day to check out the boot and it'll be full of goodies for you, I reckon you should hassle yours for more freebies after all we pay through the nose for these cars in Australia
