2008 C350 Sport Sedan Saks 5th Avenue Edition
Saks 5th Ave C350 Anyone?
Just purchased a 2008 C350 Sport Saks 5th Ave Edition with 7k miles. I was wondering if anyone else on the forum has one? I see they made 1,000 of them in '08.
I'll be taking pictures soon, my father has a 2010 SL550 white/red leather.

I got mine 4 months ago. Love it. The interior is amazing, get compliments from anothers and makes me smile everytime i sit in it. Congrats! Its the best color combo for the c350, and the fact that its a special edition makes it even better

There were more than 1,000 made. The original intent was to make 1,000 of them, but due to the demand the Saks package ended up on the order sheet for 2008 1/2 models. So there's no way of telling just how many there are, so hopefully you didn't buy it hoping it would be a collectors item. It is however a nice color scheme and one they didn't continue to offer, so congrats on your purchase.

The only option that you couldn't add to a standard C350 was the cream/black interior. Other than that it was just a Obsidian Black C350 with the P1 and Multi Media Packages. Check this link to a thread with photos.

Lol at the Macy's edition. I guess the Saks C Edition was done as a consolation prize for those that can't afford, or just plain missed out on the original editions. In 2005 Saks offered 20 S600's in their Holiday Catalog that ended up selling out in a matter of minutes. So to continue the tradition in 2007 they had yet another limited run of 20 cars, but this time they used the CL600. The same year they offered the C class in a Saks Edition, but this time in much larger numbers sold at dealerships instead of the Holiday Catalog. The only common theme between the Saks Editions seem to be the cream/black interiors, the exterior colors have been different each year. Not really sure of the tie in with Saks and MB, but for that year everyone that bought a MB regardless of model, got a free Saks gift card.

Hello all. I recently purchased one of these 2008 C350 Saks edition. I really love the car, and I am reasonably certain I have one of the saks edition. is there a list of the vin numbers for these cars? I like to be certain. haha
There is one thing on my car I have not seen on any other saks c350.
There is a sticker (yes a sticker, I don't think MB would put it on, but...) the sticker is on the right lower side of the trunk and it says "Elite". can anyone shed light on this? I don't want to remove it if the car came with it...
Thank you,
Kel

Here is a picture of the "Elite Sticker" Is the saks fifth ave supposed to have this?
Can anyone shed some light on what this is? I don't want to remove it if it came with it, either from the dealer or factory.
Thank you,
