2008 Mercedes C350 Saks Edition
My new Saks Edition 350

I admit I may have gotten carried awaywith the pictures but I am pumped about my new Saks Edition 350.

They will be coming in my next few posts in this thread.

Tried to hit every angle for you guys and wanted to show you the interior.

Also just tinted the windows today to 15%.

Hope you like it.

Looks beautiful, jealous I didn't wait for the SFA edition I had the black on light tan combo on my old Passat and thought it was the ultimate luxury color combo. I've been patiently awaiting my next car purchase to get that combo again and blew it when we had to have the W204 as soon as it hit. Don't get me wrong I love my steel gray/ reef combo but Black/Tan is the business.

07' S65 Flint Grey/Black Interior all options, C350 SFA Edition DD
But REMEMBER the SFA doesn't have the all important Xeons. Like that's going make a diff

As mentioned before I love Xeons but the items that make the SFA special outweight an item you use maybe 20-30% of the time. Now, the interior is where you live when drive the car. Only others can appreciate the outside items whatever they may be. In addition only 1000 will be made.

Good choice. We have one and I like it more everyday. Wouldn't have bought a 350 if it would have had a color combo that would be duplicated 250,000 times over the next 6-7 years. Then it's a Toyota.

Not having Xenons is enough for me to avoid the Saks edition. I would also want the pano roof. Although I love the Sahara/Black color combo, having a black or grey interior with the options I want it more important to me.

Believe me I am with you guys on wanting the Xeons.

Pano roof was also a desire but when I saw that iterior plus the "real" amg wheels I made the sacrafice.

Never thought about a darker tint but like the idea. Maybe next time.

Thanks for the love. Enjoyed sharing.

Very nice. I guess I'm in the monority. I really don't like the zenon headlamps. I hate it when other people behind me have them. They have so much dazzle factor that you temporarily lose your night vision.

Stunning. I don't know Mercedes just won't open up the order books and let people order this interior color. Hell make it an extra charge over ordering the optional leather, people would still buy it. It looks to be worth it.

They are just bulbs as it is not equipped with Bi-xenon.

2008 Mercedes C350 Saks Edition
that edition has a few little differences:

the interior, the amount of metalic flake in the paint and the wheels. mercedes "says" that the wheels on the saks edition are the 'real' AMG wheels and the ones on all the other C300 and C350's are made to look like AMG wheels but are not officially AMG wheels.

it also comes with the navi and such but for me it was just about the limited interior.

C300 sport and C350 sport all comes with AMG wheels.
interior is nice but not worth extra $$$ (not sure how much more saks ed. costs) for different color leather seats... i'd spend on designo option...

Not sure that the standard 300 wheels are AMG wheels. The 18's and 17's on the 350 sure appear to be AMG, at least they are stamped so.

The SFA appears to have the same rims as the optional 18's. I guess those are more real though according to MBUSA.
