What should I be looking for?
Just wanted to get an idea from all the proud MB owners of this board....I'll be picking up my C320 4matic sedan on Thursday....is there anything in particular I should be looking for when I do my inspection of the car prior to payment? Any questions anyone recommends I ask my dealer before I drive it off the lot? Thanks for any insight you have to provide...

1. Make sure all papers are in order.
2. Make sure all color / options are as ordered.
3. Check around to ensure no dent, scratches, etc.
4. Master key parts number starts with 221 (others are faulty).
5. Ticking noise in engine is a known problem. Faulty purge valve.
6. Check fuel gauge and ensure it works properly (another common problem).
7. Any freebies? You should at least get 1 set of car mats and 1 set of wool carpets, and more. To give you an idea, this is what I got:
Mats
Carpet
Tumbler
Trunk convenience pouch
Chrome license plate

Thanks for your insight there QQQ (yeah, saw your other post...I do live in 'sauga...and yeah, I am getting it from the new dealership up at Mavis & Britannia...I love my salesman...the guy tolerates all my little questions, never complains, always eager to please...can't ask for much more than that)....
I know he's already said he's giving us (my family) car mats, hood badge, and possibly some other things (teddy bear & keychain for my sister, sweater for me...dunno about my parents)....we'll see....I can live without the chrome licence plate though....
