C300 4Matic with 18in AMG's
Got a date!
I just got the build date for our C300 4-Matic that we are picking up in Stutgart in May. Build date 10 April. Paladium Silver, Black Leather, Premium 2, Multi-Media, Pano-roof
..............wish I could get the 18in AMG option with 4-Matic, but for some reason that option is not available.

when did you order the vehicle?
i ordered mine on the first week of January. however, the dealership stated that due to the economy, the plant was shutdown until January 19th. consequently, my build date came out to be March 25th. with the delivery date being third week of May.

I ordered it the second week of Jan, but since we are picking it up at the plant in Germany, I guess they don't need to build it so soon. Interesting info from the dealer, he shows mine with build date of April 10 in Germany but there were 3 ahead of mine on his list that were being built in South Africa.
and i see we've ordered almost the options.. except i traded my leather option for the AMG wheels=]

How much can you negotiate with the dealer on the car price when you special order? Do you basically pay full price, which is what I assume.
I have the 18" AMG wheels for my C300, it's the best option, really completes the sport package.

You can still get deals for special orders. That's what I did. Started out with the pre-negotiated Costco pricing (which they negotiated price on car, package, options individually already), then worked my way down from that.

I ordered mine for European Delivery. European Delivery gets you a 7% discount and no delivery charge (another $875 on C300). From there, I negotiated the value of my trade and saved a few thousand more.
