No One Out There?

There is no one out there yet that has picked up their new C63? I thought from all the talk last week that a few people would have picked them up already. I guess the boat was slower than expected crossing the pond. I keep waiting to see the first post with someone that has picked it up.

I was supposed to be picking mine up yesterday or today, but just got a call from the dealer that it has been slightly delayed and I "should" be able to take delivery next week. There always seems to be some hiccup along the way, but oh well..no worries, rain is in the forecast for this weekend anyway. I won't say anything more this time until I have the keys in hand

Our first one should be here in less than two weeks. Im not sure how we'll handle test drives in it up front, as with all AMG's we try to keep the miles lower than normal.

everything and anything
Just came from my dealer and they have one. Sold before it hit the showroom. From what they tell me, dealers will start getting in cars. Most are still at Mercedes prep centers.

2009 C63 July delivery
There are 2 C63's that were picked up by customers from Park Place Dallas in the past week.
Another car is coming in today or tomorrow and will be available as a demo unit. I know this because the dealer has been promissing me a test drive since the beginning of the week!!

I just called the dealer to do a test sitting (other thread about seats) and he had no orders coming in (weak local economy) but he did expect his demo/launch C63 to come in very soon. The Melbourne dealer had 5 ordered but no car yet.

Here in San Diego both MB of Escondido and Hoehn MB have pre-sold C63's coming in next week. Just called MB of San Diego and the salesman told me they had one in last week that sold in hours and that they expect another one in any day.

A stealer will tell you a civic is hard to get. Lying-that's what they do.

C63 is a nice car but for a loaded one (no point getting otherwise)a few k off MSRP isn't hard.

2 of them to my dealer for sure. They sold one a few days ago, one is sitting at the parking lot waiting to be detailed as we speak.
I fit just fine on the seat.

Funny you should mention that because I also was waiting on a test drive from them with their demo unit. Still no sign of it.
