I can't wait to see what that new blue looks like.

AMGC60-3

I think and want to wait till they have DI. I had a C63 from the dealership from Friday and had to return it yesterday (Saturday) and burned almost two full tanks of gas.

Sheep

I think I answered my own question as I just received a new MY2010 C-class dealer ordering guide with lots of interesting facts (as of 21 May 2009.) PM me WITH YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you want a copy as I can't do attachment with in the forum PMs.

AMGC60-3

Hey Sheep, I sent you a PM for ths MY2010 info. Thanks.

Sheep

MY2010 C-class most shocking fact: the new Quartz Blue (code 230) looks just like the light blue from MY2010 Mazda... both matelic pastel blue.

AMGC60-3

Hey thanks for sending so quick. According to what you sent me I guess I have to wait for the MY2011 for DI. All AMG 63 powerplants are supposedto be getting the direct injection fuel system which I want.

Sheep

Too bad I can't wait that long as I have to get a MY2010 "something" because I have no car right now.

Long live Mazda RX-8 .

I have driven a C63 several times now, I also had one last Friday and had to bring it back on Saturday and I would say that you wont need the HK sound system because the music from under the hood and exhaust is magical. I had burned almost two tanks of gas in less than 24 hours. I am stationed over here in Germany (civilian now) and to test a car like this over here is unreal.

Sheep

Good to know you are prior-mil as I am doing the same thing but in Iraq. I am ordering those options for "completeness" sake, but of course I will have to wait until all those pricing comes out for the final call.

AMGC60-3

Well if you are military active duty or DOD civilian like me then you should go thru military sales. In Germany they are offering us mil people 10% discount, that means base starts at just over 50k.There is a place just outside of Ramstein AB with a white C63 to test drive and a three lane autobahn a couple miles away

Sheep

Let just say that I am with another agency so I am not DOD-CIV. But if they do give discount to prior military contracter currently in Iraq, then please let me know.

AMGC60-3

Well I am a military contractor on the flightline (AC maintenance,fighter crew chief) and also work part time (AF civilian,DOD). If you have a mil I.D. card that shows support on it (Comissary,MWR etc) then you should be able to get a mil discount.I have friends down "range" that are civilian contractors working Transient Alert (AC servicing and maintenance) and they have these priviledges on their ID cards.

Sheep

Really, I always though that they only give you that 10% when you are active. Can you please email or PM me how to do this? I have my priviledges maxed out already so that's not a problem. Thanks.

google mercedesmilitarysales.com

Its called Torpedo Garage and they also work together with MBUSA for the american spec Mercedes. The place is located right next to Ramstein AB. If you have any questions then contact Christiane Zeiger, she is a very friendly person or tell her David Simmons sent you her way.

Sheep

great, thanks.

AMGC60-3

No problem, when you go to the site make sure you click on "build your own" and you can see the prices and discounts.

Sheep

I just email her with my 2010 C63 AMG configuration, and hopefully I will hear from her soon. Now I just need to get my local dealer to play ball and get me the discount from MBUSA then I will be set.

AMGC60-3

Well I wish you the best of luck, they are great prices with 10% discount across the board for 2009 and 2010 models. You would be saving 5-7 k easily.

Sheep

The problem is taxes and shipping, so I will have to figure out which way to save more: local invoice price vs overseas military discount. However, we won't know until at least late June...

Sincity

Sheep, is this ordering guide for USA? I just sent you a PM. Tks.

Track Addict

Does anyone know of a So. Cali dealership that will take the pre-order and charge invoice? Most dealers keep saying these cars sell for sticker, which is total bs.

Thanks for the 2010 ordering guide Sheep. I see 6 options that will make me wait the few additional months for a 2010 model:

* LED tail lights
* 19" Multi-spoke wheels
* Keyless Go
* Smaller side mirrors
* TPM read-out for each wheel
* Tilt-down passenger side mirror

I discussed this with my dealer today and he has one allocation slot right now for a 2010 C63,
with a build date of late August, and delivery in mid-October.
We are checking to see if I can get this slot now.

Sincity

Thanks Sheep. It looks like 18s are still standard and the 19s are optional. Still good to have a 19" wheel choice.

drscho

Sheep, may I ask where in Virginia you are ordering your C63 through? I would like to order a MY2010 at invoice as well.
Thanks.

PatSC23

at this point y wouldnt you wait? Only reason I didnt wait was bc i needed the car by may and Im banking on no MCT, which would be the only thing that REALLY pisses me off (plus I liked the deal I got)

Whats the story on the LED tail lights, we already got them... or are they going to change the style?

as for the reverse tilt down function of the mirror - this is something I wanted previously, but the way I sit and position the mirror, I can see curbs already for parallel parking

and I ordered aftermkt 19's so that does nothing for me

even though I wouldnt have opted for too many of the options, its still the latest, which is what I would go for if your still looking right now
