Mike ,

I found one here with everything you want , except it's diamond silver without the lighting package.

That was one of the sticking points I wanted the lighting package. I got what I wanted in Steel grey with a pano roof for the same price.

I have not seen a single 2012+ model with the Lighting Package in the U.S. Maybe the dealer can do a nationwide search and truck one in? Probably a lot easier if you didn't have the Luxury model requirement.

The dealer had several C300 luxury with lighting package, more sport with the package, but not what I wanted, so I ordered. Looks like the factory is getting ready to shut down and retool for the 2015

East London does not want any more US orders. They are trial building W205 already. We had the US contract with top up from Bremen & Sindelfingen. You might well get a German car. With Tuscaloosa coming on stream we will be supplying top up to China etc. going forward.

<~ Lighting package. It took me 6 months wait for my car to get it.

The Tsunami in Japan destroyed a factory that makes the parts for them - and for much of the 2012 production year they were unavailable/limited availability.

You may want to get the MB extended warranty now to have a peace of mind. The price of the warranty may go up each year, so if you wait till the warranty is near over before you buy the extended, you'll run the risk of paying a higher price. Also the MB extended warranty is cheaper if purchased within the first 30 days of taking delivery of the new car. (doesn't have to be bought from the same dealership).

The MB extended warranty is fully refundable. If you sell the car or it gets totaled before you use it, you can get a full refund (or transfer it to the new buyer). If you decided to cancel it after the extended warranty period started, you can still get a pro-rated refund.

Ah, is that why? When I bought mine in Dec 2012 (2013 model) from large dealer in Arlington, they had only two Lux models and none had Lighting Package. It definitely wasn't a deal maker or deal breaker to me as I like things less complicated. And I am an instant gratification kinda guy

**I didn't learn until after I got the car that the "simple" front lights on my car still aren't simple. If turn signal bulb dies, you have to replace entire unit.

I concur. When special ordering my 2012, I started the process in Sept/Oct....and it wasn't delivered until July the following year.
