New C43
#401
Yeah, my original order was hyacinth red with crystal grey leather but they messed it up and were telling me I had to wait until November, but when I walked into the dealership I had to have the car... screw waiting for another two months . #implusivebuying
I got premium package, amg driver's package, led package, black amg leather, open pore ash wood, and 360 cam. This didn't come with heads up display which sucks but it's not a deal breaker for me.
I heard it in Sport + with valves open, it does have a grunt, but I think the Youtube Coupe videos got me overly excited. I believe the Coupes sound better than the sedans -don't get me wrong the sedans sound good.
As for discounts, you know that these guys in Canada are out to rip you off. After whining I got a 2% without any fleet discounts etc. So that works out to about 1.5k...nothing earth shattering. They kept telling me they don't do discounts on AMGs and that this was only because they dropped the ball on my initial order.
I did get other discounts on pre-paid maintenance, tint and one or two small accessories . So all-in I got around 2.3k off. Happy with it.

Cardinal Red C43 Ordered
New to the MB World group. Placed my order last week and looking at a three month lead time so I should be taking ownership on or around the new year. In New England USofA so the 4Matic was a big draw over the C63. Ordered the 19 inch rim option: here's my question- Summer performance tires will come on the car, but will it be "acceptable" to drive occasionally in the winter months on dry road days? I have an alternate vehicle and the C43 really will be intended as the "fair weather" ride. Thanks for the opinions...

I was more than happy when I received a 5% discount on my C450 last year when I received it the first day it was launched 9/25/15

The problem with summer performance tires in winter is even if the roads are dry that tires have very little traction as the compounds they are made of get very hard in the cold weather. If you are in freezing temperatures I really wouldn't run on summers. But that's just me

Joshua Davidson from Mercedes corporate contacted me yesterday and informed me that my c43 will be on its way by mid next week.. the first batch of c43 being sent out in the USA.... he also said he sent my dealer email to give me a free year of prepaid maintenance for the long wait I had because they had originally said I would have the car in mid September. I guess the squeaky wheel gets the oil..

One thing you have to remember with our discounts compared to the US is if you take what they pay for the car in USD and convert it over, their base price is actually way higher then ours... Take the C43 sedan, base is 52925 USD, convert that over to CAN and it's 69000, yet our base sedan is 56200 (yes I know there are some small differences in what are standard but you get the idea) So I'm guessing that's why the Canadian dealers have less room to move compared to the states as the are priced more aggressive right from MSRP. Just a theory I have, not actual data besides what I presented.

And how did you contact the corporate for PPM? I don;t think it's common.
I will be patient even my car was built first day of August. It will get here anyway.

I'm glad you like it! When was your build date? Did you happen to see if it came with acoustic windows?

SA said acoustic windows was discounted. So mine didn't have it. He said I won't be able to tell the difference.
Does it say it somewhere?

If you have acoustic glass, look at the top edge of your driver or passenger FRONT window. If you lower it down a bit, it should look like 2 pieces of glass glued together...here in the US, some peoples have acoustic glass listed on there build sheet.. mine is an August build and it's not listed. The other build sheets I've seen are from September builds have code 851 (acoustic glass) listed as standard equipment.. since no one in the USA has received there car we have to wait and see.
I assume mine was an August build since I picked it up today. So it won't surprise me if it didn't have it.
What does it do?
