Hi All,
Just decided on a new C240... Went to a local dealer here on Long Island and signed lease for one they have in stock.
C240
Midnight Blue
C2 & C4
CD drive
Assbly in Germany
Didn't think I got a bad deal at $35K especially with the special order paint and the C4 option.
Picking up Thursday, any pre-delivery advise ?
Look forward to participating in the forum
Cheers,
Lou

Out Of Control!!
Welcome to the family (well, almost)
Lou, which dealer did you get the c240 from? I live in Jersey, but had my paint protection pkg. done at Competition in Smithtown. They were easy to deal with, but put their silly license plate frames on my car when they were finished.
My only advise: make sure that the paint, interior trim pieces, and body panels are flawless. Really spend some time going over the car - before you sign the paperwork. After that, please follow the break-in period advised to you in the manual. That gives you 1k miles until you can fully appreciate the car, but it'll be worth it.
Congrats - as Greg said, post some pics when you can - I haven't seen midnight yet.

Welcome! Is it an automatic? What's your interior color? I've got Capri Blue which is also dark, but metallic. See you on the board!

Tommy,
I got it from a new dealership in Huntington. Owned by the same people as Smithtown.. They want to build a following it seems. Very nice to work with so far.
Thanks for the advice. I will post some Pics after I pick it up.
The interior is Java with an automatic.. a little worried about the low end lag but couldn't justify the 320..
Merry Christmas to me
