Please Help!!! Need earliest order date for 2006 C230SS.

My dealer won't tell me and wants me to order an 05. However if the 06 is coming out soon I would much rather order the 06 and wait a little bit. When is the earliest date to do this? How can I go about finding out the protocol to do this?

Thanks.

Ever think maybe your dealer does not know either ?

Last I checked it's mid Feb. so we have at least a couple more months...and even if your found out that the date you could order was b4 the time your dealer was taking orders...what are you going to do, demand that they order you the car?

My advice is to lay off the caffeine pills for a while and wait....

Nah. I think we should give him some sugar and candy bars and watch him pop his cork! :p :p

I'm not sure that the changes for an 06 C230SS are that significant that it is worth sweating over it. You may get a better deal on a 05 late in the model year, rather than paying full price for a 06.

They have not stopped taking orders for an 05 (I will pick mine up from the factory April 11) and therefore it will be some time after that when 06's will start coming out of the factory, plus shipping you are probably waiting till summer for delivery.

Thanks for the rude replies

No the dealer does not know and they said Mercedes does a poor job of keeping them updated of these things. Where did you hear mid-february from? I swear more people are *******s on this board than any other I have visited. Whats more is that the rude people are usually the ones who know jack-***** about cars.

Mike, my dealer told me that they can get one ordered for me that would come in late April. If the 06 doesn't come out anytime soon I will go ahead and order that.

I don't know about the 06's, but the 04's were orderable at the end of June, beginning of July depending on the dealer.

Look down in the lower right hand corner of your computer, Einstein....todays date is Feb. 15th thus making it mid-February.

Don't ask idiotic questions and you won't get sarcastic answers..

You seem to be accomplishing a whole lot by giving your jacka$$ replies. If you think the question is idiotic just move on - no need to be a slap**** about it.

You seem to have a huge chip on your shoulder, are you even a real doctor? I bet you are a chiropractor and you are probably sick of all the real doctors like myself *****ting on you.

There are a lot of people who participate on this forum who can provide you with information, all free of charge. Having an attitude such as yours, and attempting to insult other members certainly will not help.

Debadged 6-Speed '05 C320 Sports Coupe
My '05 was ordered in May arriving in July, 6 weeks later. It was one of the first.

When ordered, the dealer did not have price or configuration information, so the vehicle was "tuned" to conform with the '04 to '05 changes, as the information became available.

We had to settle on a percentage discount, not knowing the prices.
