Newbie with a 2008 C300 Sport

Hello all,

I just wanted to introduce myself. My wife and I just picked up our 2008 C-300 Sport, Arctic White with Grey/Black leather, P01, 333, 427. We paid sticker (nobody was dealing). Picked up from Penske MB in West Covina today. It's a great driving car so far, but already, I cannot get the Sirius radio to stay on "All Channels". It will stay with whatever was last chosen. I guess I'll be visiting the stealer sooner than later.

I'm hoping to learn a lot over the next few months from all of you!

Looks great! Congrats!

I wish I had my C300 now. I have to wait until October or later when the multimedia package ships.

Very Nice!!

I will pick-up my C300 Sport Sedan on Friday. I will have the following Palladium Silver/Black leather, 333, 427, PO2, 359, 413, and 786.

The only fault with this car is memory seats and power tele/tilt steerig is not available. My 2005 C230 that I am trading in has these features. However, everything else is just great.

I can't wait for Friday to get here.

Is power tele/tilt steerig connected with memory seat? I mean if you unlock car with different keys, does it recall seat and steering wheel position assigned for the key?

There is no power steering wheel this time around, nor memory seats.

We were told about it, but my wife isn't very tech savy (neither am I), and I'd rather have a portable navi unit that I/we can move to our other cars. Plus, we really didn't want to wait!

I want to take another set of pictures, I just snapped those quickly to capture the car on it's first day "at home!" LOL

Thanks for the compliments, this is our first Benz, and I'm really impressed, considering it's an entry level car with minimal options.

Don't I wish I could, but it's my weekend to work, so it's a no-go for me, but if I get a big enough heads-up, I can try to sneak the car away from my wife!

Yes, the white on grey is hot IMO. We considered a leftover 07 in the same colors, but that was for only a brief second, then we came to our senses! LOL

Thanks!
The wheels are the optional 18'ers. 18x8 and 18x8.5's, 225/40 front and 255/35 rears.
I'll try to take pictures of the interior ASAP.

Full sticker, 60 month purchase, no money down/full financing on MB's credit, but I will probably transfer the loan to my CU.

Congrats to you! I really like the car, and like I said, my wife loves it. As for the power tilt/tele, I'm glad it doesn't have it, as I just keep thinking that is more electronic pieces to fail.

Germancar1 There is no power steering wheel this time around, nor memory seats.

Correct..but I get the feeling it will be available at a later date/year, as it's available on the Canadian market cars already (Keyless go, power seats/headrest with memory and power tilt/tele).

Wow, that post took some effort...lol!

Yeah I too think those items will show up for the U.S. market after enough people complain and/or walk away from a sale.
