My S204 is FINALLY here!
 
At last, over three months agony is over, a friend of mine called me this evening and said that my car was delivered outside my work, I threw myself in my wifes car and drove down with screeching tires ..

Tore open the plastics and coverings on the car like a child on christmas :)

Here are the first pics, sorry for crappy cell phone quality, but it was all I had :)

Nice! Wish we had a wagon option here in the states. :y

TB5... 06-01-2009 04:35 PM

i dont understand why anyone would buy a hatch back... unless they are a mother.


but im glad you got your car... cant wait to see what u do to this thing.

justthinking 06-01-2009 04:36 PM

I like the roof rail and 18" amg wheels...it's defintely more on the rally wagon side than your old typical station wagon...
BTW, did the car come debadged?

Congratulations, I know you've been active on this board for a while while waiting for your car to arrive. Have fun modding the ***** out of it! :zoom:

Well I am no mother, but a father, I have a 2 year old son and fortunately he love cars as much as I do :)
Should also mention that Sweden is the home country for wagons, I red somewhere that we have the highest percentage in the world, I guess that is due to all the V70.s rollin here :)

@justthinking, I ordered the car debadged, looks a lot cleaner IMO.

Very nice! Looks great in white, too bad about the lack of a pano (for the black top) but it looks REALLY good in white. Is that a BlueEfficiency badge? New gen 220CDI 170ps?

AMGTTV8 06-01-2009 05:00 PM

fantastic machine!!!

makes you wonder why there is no option for them in the states - despite the fact that sales volume would be low...

cant wait to see more pics!

Yes, I really wanted pano but went with Xenons and Easy Pack instead..

Also wanted the 220 CDI but it would have set me back an additional $7000, so its the small 180 Kompressor, 156ps
Still its the new M271 blue efficiency engine, hence the badge.

Whoa, prices vary a lot per country :crazy: It's actually crazy... But at least that kompressor will remap nicely, what are the planned mods? :D

peabers 06-01-2009 05:09 PM

It's beautiful! Totally jealous that you are able to get the wagon!

vic viper 06-01-2009 05:10 PM

First mods are a drop, a H&R lowering kit was ordered a month ago :)
Then I plan to retrofit the COMAND system .. pictures of both mods will come ;)

aowhaus 06-01-2009 05:17 PM

I really wished they have the wagon here instead of the awkwardly designed GLK.
You would think MB would save money on not developing the GLK and bringing in an existing model overseas instead.

To appeal to the SUV crowd, MB could have some kind of SUV styled version of the C-wagon, just like the Audi Allroad, Volvo Crosscountry, and Subaru Outback.

The Pano roof on the wagon doesn't go all the way to the back (stops short of the cargo area), so when viewed from behind you probably wont see the black roof like you do on the sedan.
I'm jealous.

Mr Enigma 06-01-2009 06:21 PM

Looks sweet. Congratulations o the new ride. Let us know how the C180 BE is - mines the same, but I'm still waiting for mine... T-minus 6 weeks.

FrankW 06-01-2009 11:39 PM

grats. will look forward to your Comand/MM DIY write-up :)

mrjsw 06-02-2009 12:34 AM

Congradulations.:)

Please list the options you have.

vic viper 06-02-2009 01:51 AM

The option codes list is long, but the main things are.

Avantgarde
AMG Sports package
Bi Xenons
Easy pack tailgate
Cruise control
18" AMG wheels

albert101 06-02-2009 02:17 AM

Congratz on the new wagon.... Great looking with the AMG Package! Enjoy in good health. When does your son get to test it?

JimPap 06-02-2009 10:55 AM

Congratulations Vic.

We're all very happy for you.

As Spock would say.....live long and prosper.

Son Nguyen 06-02-2009 12:16 PM

Well done!!!!
How much does it cost for all?

patrickkc 06-02-2009 01:52 PM

congrats on the s204!, wonder if you guys have the GLK over there? I think it defeats the purpose of the s204.. thats what I think,,, but wooO! let the mods begin!!! can't wait to read up on your DIYs.

vic viper 06-02-2009 02:02 PM

Just got in after fitting my custom painted glossy black grille and fitting Osram Diadem front indicators, its a start :)

@Son Nguyen the car cost $49.000 with my setup.

@patrickkc, we have all of Mercedes available models here, the GLK as well I really like it, but I think the S204 is a sleeker and cleaner ride.

Glyn M Ruck 06-02-2009 02:37 PM

Ah! - very nice - wagons look so good in white. Good choice. Enjoy.
