Hello to MBWorld

Hey Guys,

I've been a lurker here ever since I ordered my 2012 C300 in December. I did the Euro Delivery this past May (LOVED IT) and am eagerly awaiting my car's return.

Late last week I heard it was at the VPC... any way I can track it from there? Any idea how long it'll take (from Baltimore to Pittsburgh)?

I'll be uploading tons of pictures when I get it home!

Thanks!

Welcome! I believe the only way to track from where it is is from the dealer. Once mine was at the VPC it was then in Pgh 2 days later I believe.

Thanks guys! I have noticed that this forum is relatively polite and warm, unlike a lot of other areas on the web.

2 DAYS?! Wow it could arrive any day now I guess, as you could imagine the wait is killing me! I'm currently driving a '98 Camry

My dealer told me Friday afternoon that it was in VPC processing... perhaps by today it made it through and was released! .

Maybe you and I should organize a PGH meet-up this summer!

We all try to foster a non-hostile environment here unlike what you see on other car forums out there. You don't just get a different class in vehicle, but a different class in forum members/owners

An admirable manner which Michael/AZN Optics lead by example long before many of us arrived!

The Best or Nothing

So, I got an email saying that Sirius has been activated and includes my ESN. Here's to hoping that means it's in the final stages of preparation!

So, my car is at the dealership! I don't live far so I went and sat in it for a bit Saturday, dealer says that it'll be ready to pick up today at 4pm. Cannot wait. Thanks for the welcome guys!

Wow, that was a long delay from VPC to dealer! But after the wait you've already endured I guess it's no biggie. Glad to hear that the wait is (nearly) over!
