3. About a 1000 miles...it's still breaking in a little bit..but it's an amazing car!
Booyaa on yr new 55
Picked up mine Sunday...white/ash, premium, lighting and Sirius Very new production as it just came off das boot. I was first one outside factory and dealer to drive it. It had 14 total miles. Just did not want a new car that had "demo" miles.
Came with Sportcontact 2 tires not Pirellis. Also the Sirius is now free for 1 year..don't know when that changed.
Agree, it's a great car. Feels like it made from a solid hunk of metal..solid.
I had my decision down to the C55 and an M45 Infiniti. Nice car, but one drive in the 55 and it was all over. I will leave it box stock at least for now.
BTW, at $1500 UNDER invoice, you sure got a great price. I paid cash and paid $1000 over and was happy with the deal. It was at the dealership only one day.

I'm guessing you both mean MSRP, not invoice. 1500 below invoice would put it somewhere around 5500 below MSRP, right? That seems too good to be true.

You just got your car a little while ago, right? Why not just drive more on the stock tires and replace them with better tires when they're worn? Unless you absolutely find the stock tire setup to be unacceptable for your daily driving, what's the rush?

I paid $1000 over INVOICE. MSRP $59K including the $600 national advertising tack on which I could have argued over but still thought it was a good deal. I paid $55.9K, plus Tand L
There is about 7% give or take between MSRP and invoice, so that makes $5500 sound right. A great deal. Maybe they lowballed the trade.

Actually, I paid $1500 under invoice. The MB dealership around my area is a volume seller and I been working with the guy for a while on buying a G500. He was great to work with, it was the last one in stock. The sticker price on the car $60.5K. I ended yup paying $53.5K for the car. At invoice the car was $55K. I took the deal the minute they offered it, I know it rare that they ever go under invoice for an AMG.
