Big Surprise - Look What Just Arrived at My Dealer

My C300 Sport wasn't scheduled to be built until last Friday, but clearly it was built sooner as my dealer just called to let me know it's in. He sent the following two pictures:







Now, waiting to get it is going to be a bear, as I won't have the money until next week and I was planning on waiting until the GLA250 Sport 4Matic came in and get both. I'm paying cash for both cars.

At least I'll be able to stop by and see it, which will be fun.

This entire summer has been unusually rainy in the supposed Sunshine State!

The GLA250 Sport 4Matic will be my partners car. He was concerned whether he'd like it, so he got to take one for the day today. He told me he really really likes it and the one they gave him isn't fully loaded like the one we ordered.

I hope you get your car back soon!

Curious if the folks in Vance have remedied the fitment "issue" on the bumper/taillight for the MY16 models. Too bad your 300 had to get wet already. I have had mine for 4 months and not a drop on it yet but would gladly take a drive in a downpour if it would help this miserable drought out here. El Nino can't come soon enough.

Enjoy your car!

BTW, 3000 miles on mine and no complaints (no appreciable wind noise either)

I studied the picture pretty hard that my salesman sent me, which I posted above. If there is an issue with the fitment, I certainly don't see it in the picture. It looks good enough to my eyes. I'm glad to hear you've put 3000 miles on yours and you've had no issues.

Thanks. And I still have to wait some more, since the car came in a few weeks early. At least I can visit it!

Congrats on the early delivery. +1 on the color combo, that looks excellent.
Is that steel or palladium?

It's Palladium. I'm honestly surprised I went with a grey color. But the combination of Palladium and Cranberry Red Leather, just works so well together. And my current E350 Coupe is black, and it's a biatch to keep clean looking. A black car is beautiful when clean, for about 15 minutes.........

LOL......Turns out it was my partner who took the pictures. I thought it was my salesman who took the pictures. My partner just happened to be at the dealership returning a GLA250 they'd given him for an extended test drive. Good thing he really liked it, or I'd have to buy another C300. LOL

Sweet ride! I was very torn on palladium vs polar myself. My polar/cranberry c300 isn't going to arrive until November and the itch is only getting worse!

EXCELLENT!

...and you were worried

I love the C-Class in palladium, and yours looks awesome!

What color is the GLA going to be?

Thanks, but don't be surprised if your car arrives early. Mine was supposed to have been built (according to NetStar) just this past Friday. It simply could not have been on Friday, and then show up in Tampa today. And I was told to expect the car about the 3rd week of October. So your car may well surprise you as well.

Thanks my friend! The new GLA will be in Jupiter Red, with Brown Leather and Satin Brown Poplar wood trim. It should be really stunning clad that way!

Nice! Congratulations.

You'll find that the red leather interior will turn a lot of heads. I get a lot of compliments about mine.

From a totally biased point of view, Palladium is THE color to get. Very rich looking and it really accents the lines of the car.

My only advice would be to put all the complaints you've read here out of your mind and just enjoy this beautifully designed car. Pack away the microscope, the stethoscope, and the magnifying glass ... and just drive it.

Congratulations!

My current E350 Coupe has the Cranberry Red Leather. I like it so much, that I wanted it in my new ride. Yes I did!

I know forums are like visiting the hospital and believing every person in the world must be sick. I'm not too worried about having any issues with my car. Thanks!
