C43 Coupe
Red face Bit the bullet...

Well after waiting for over a year for the coupe to be released, my company car scheme have announced a preposterous monthly rate for it; so I have now ordered a saloon instead. (The exact same spec coupe costs £240 a month more than the saloon, go figure?)

I'm a little disappointed, as I will now have to wait until March for delivery, and I have been driving a VW Up! as a temp for the last year, which would not have been necessary had I known I was going to end up not ordering the coupe, but oh well!

Spec:

C300h AMG Line Saloon
19" AMG Multispoke
Premium Plus Package
Palladium Silver
Red Leather
Black Ash Trim
ILS
Privacy Glass

Was unsure about the ILS, if it weren't for the raving reviews on here I would not have specced it but we shall see. First time with red leather as well, not sure my girlfriend will approve lol

I was about to order the red cranberry seats with Palladium silver, but my wife doesn't like the red color seats. Plus the dealer has one with black color seat in their lot. So I ended up with Palladium/black leather.

It's what you call window tint when you want to charge £300 for it.

Comes as standard (the high beam assist) with ILS under my company scheme otherwise I wouldn't have considered it.
