Good News, the long wait almost over!

My dealership called me today that I can have a C350 with P2, MM, 18" in 7-10 days if I dropped the black leather option in my original order. After some consideration I accepted and was assigned a car that's already in the port here. I did look at their system to confirm that no cars with leather are in the entire batch. There were lots of C300's and C350s with MM & 18" wheels so for those of us that have been waiting for quite some time the wait is almost over.

I think you would have to look at a different batch; Jacksonville serves TX I presume.

Yes it does. But I like to assume that they didn't send all 350's to NJ.

Hey am2121, Thats probably my original car!

I was assigned that car and they told me about me needing to take MB tex or wait and I chose to wait. That was back in august. They sait it would be here around October 1st, so it sounds like the same car. Enjoy I'm completely envious!

No pano...I wasn't sold on it when I placed my order. I like it in the E Class and the ML, but though the C was a bit small for it.

That being said, I have come around to it and would consider it if my dealer called and told me he had one with P2, MM and Pano.

I also live in Texas where most people prefer not to have the sun beating down on them in the back seat. If the car had a separate AC zone for the rear I probably would've gotten it.

Myself, I would really only open the roof from late fall till early spring, minus the 3-4 weeks of winter we get around here. That would actually be the good time to have the pano roof just to warm things up a bit.

I'm sure I'll enjoy it.
I did think of waiting for the leather, then decided I'll use the money to buy winter tire/wheel set. When I upgrade to E-Class in 4 years will insist on leather seats.
