Angelo, I'm guessing your car is probably at the mississauga dealership as well by now.

Can't wait to pick mine up!
Perhaps the service department is closed on the weekend. Let them PDI and polish your car properly and expect delivery on Tuesday or Wednesday at the earliest.

If it were month-end, surely they will want to deliver your car...pronto!

I'm going on a "post" strike..... the next post i make on this forum is when i get my car!
The waiting part does suck, I'm in Vancouver Canada, ordered mine early Feb, production in March, another month on boat, arrived Halifax early April and finally got it on the LAST day of April. I waited 2 months and got impatient, and when I got it, the dealer said I was lucky to even get it so soon...so I hear you man...hope you get it soon...


btw, my wife asked me if I was gonna sleep in it when I got it ...I almost said yes...so I guess its normal lol

Congrats! Finally! I'm sure many other members have been following your story all this time as I have, just shaking their heads in disbelief. I can't believe how your dealership treats/treated you, with your being a loyal customer and all. Absurd.

My dealership pretty much treats me like a cold, hard piece of shat, but that's understandable (not right, but understandable) because yes, I bought the lowest model in their line up. They got S-class owners to worry about, I guess.

I'm generally dissatisfied and disappointed with the whole "Mercedes experience" in terms of service. It seems like a real hit and miss. I did get a great deal on my car, and mine was delayed only 2 months or so (nothing compared to your delay), but in retrospect I wonder if I should've gone with another dealer who was treating me like a king during the shopping process. I went with my current dealer because they offered the absolute best price that no one else was willing to match. Sucks.

p.s. Oh, and with this car I was pretty calm when I got it, but with my first new car out of college (pretty much the first car that I could call my own, ever), I slept in it on the night of delivery. That same car is in my sig.
