After a 5 month wait, my new C300
Ordered in Aug to get exactly what I wanted. Not many metallic Red ones on the road. Have been lurking and learing here since then. After 5 months, I finally picked it up Tuesday.

I have to say that it has been worth the wait. For the rest of you waiting, your time will come. This is a great car!

You are correct sir. That pic was taken just as I was taking a quick test drive from the dealership before I took possession. I wanted to show the 11 miles on the odometer. I noticed the mode right after the pic and changed it to "C". I plan to keep this car for 10+ years as I do with all my cars so I am being very carefull during the break in period. I am only up to 235 or so miles now so that will be a while still. Thanks for noticing!

My brother is finally getting rid of his mustang and he's leaning towards a C-Class. That color sure makes it stand out... enjoy

Holy S#!t... 5 months! Wow, you have great patience! 
Too bad they drilled the front license plate bracket on.
Love the unique colour. Enjoy it in good health.

I ordered the 'no-holes' license plate from gominigo.com, just got here the other day but I still don't have my plates from the dealer yet. It attaches to the tow hook in the front bumper.

Do you know when your build date was? Was it a German or SA build? How long after the build date did you get the car?

I know it was a heck of a long time to wait but it is more than worth it. I would do it again if I had too. I love this car!

Congrats to you both. It will be worth the wait.
BTW, I also ordered the no-holes drilled front license plate holder from GOMINIGO. You should consider same.
