disapointed

i ordered my c320 sport in early dec. and my dealer called today saying that i wont get it til Mid march because i have opted to get heated seats. he said that at the factory they were having difficulty with heated seats for c classes cuz on the assembly line a vast majority of c classes dont come with heated seats but my car has to be redone or something to have them put in. WTF. i would think cars ordered in east coast might usually opt for heated seats woulndt they. When icalled a month ago, the dealer actually had left the seats opton off the order sheet, so im thinking it was prob from that delay that this is being delayed. I dont see how the factory has trouble doing this based on their hi volume.

anyone else have any issues like this ,

im bummed and my wife is pissssed cuz she wants her car

You can usually change the order up to 4 weeks from when production starts. MB are planning to reduce that to 6 days over hte next year. Sounds like your dealer screwed up your order. Ask to see their confirmation order document from the factory that they would have received shortly after you placed your order. I bet they will have missed off the HS and needed to reorder within the 4 week window.

yeah my feeling is the dealer messedup initially, because when we were making the order form , he was using a generic options list, and i think some options were numbered differently and he figured the person who submits the order would rectify it and put in the exact codes.

i dont know what i can do ?? except wait i guess .
one thing i know is im GOING to get this car under invoice.

we're already getting the car in socal for under invoice from many dealership long ago. The last offer I heard from dealership was $1500 off invoice and that was in october.

anywayz, your dealership screwed up and that is a load of BS from your sales. threaten to cancel the order and stuck them w/ a fully loaded C320 which a lot of ppl will not want unless they give you a greater discount.

yeah im just saying that im gonna make sure that we get it under invoice

what sucks is that the sales person i use is a really good guy, he is in charge of the maybach orders at FJ, and we purchased our other 2 S500's from him,
i figure he wasnt too familiar with the C class details. but oh well, its gonna cost FJ a few grand

still sucks tho

Anytime a saleman or dealer lies to you, its time to hit the bricks and find someone else.

I don't understand the concept of heated seats as they always seem to hot but I would pay extra for cooled seats like in the bigger buck MBs.

How 'bout My 04 S500, heated AND cooled seats for your Laguna Niguel ? Oh, forget to tell you, it's 6 degrees outside here, and tomorrow morning those heated seats cannot get TOO hot !
