...thanks to the MB Forum!

Greeting all,

I'm new to your MB forum and first want to say how pleased I am to the folks who alerted us to the great deals that are going on now.

I currently own a 2005 Lotus Elise and it was becoming to hard to justify when having a 3 year old and a 11 month old. I also lease a Mini Cooper S as a daily car.

After reading about the tremendous deals I decided to make some calls. I test drove the Cadillac CTS-V and was quite impressed. Then drove the C63 and that was that! Also how could one pass on the deals...

Local (live in CT) dealers where out of stock and found one in White Plains. I arrived and in the showroom was my car.
Black on Black
AMG Leather Package
Multi Media Package
P2 Premium 2
I-POD kit
Black Maple Wood Trim

And to my SURPRISE!!!
Delimination top speed 174 mph
Limited Slip Differential
Full Tinted Windows

It had a sign with a big discount. Similar to those who have posted in previous threads. I don’t want to mention numbers but it was big! We negotiated on a trade for the Lotus and received a fair price. I pushed them lower on the C63 (again thanks to all of the insights) and reached an agreement.

But wait! I still lease on a Mini with 2 years left. The salesman comes back with the buyout info and tells me that I only need a few G’s to make it happen. DONE DEAL!!!! The other good news is that the money I needed for the Mini payout will pay itself with my insurance savings in a couple of years.

Picking her up this Saturday with my wife and two kids and baby seats of course and Sunday we install the Venture Seal. I know a local installer and had it on my Lotus.

So to those who are considering...STOP and pull the trigger because the ‘09 inventory has to go.

From auto enthusiast to auto enthusiast I look forward to some good years in the forum.

Wow, congrats!!! Great find on the fully loaded (including Perf. package) '09 C63 AMG. It sounds like you did your research and negotiated a phenomenal deal. I should be getting the same one - PP early next week!

 

Congrats. My family hast bought many cars there. It used to be called Pepe motors.

 

Congrats! You will enjoy having the PP. It's a great package!

 

Congrats and WTTC!

 

Congrats! You are gonna love it!

 

nice I just picked mine up last week at Friendly Motorcars (in poughkipsee an hour north of white plains)

What part of CT are you from, it would be nice to meet up if you plan on going on any meets.

 

Congrats and welcome, looking forward to having you contiribute to the forum...from new dad to new dad!!

 

Congrats as well. I live in Easton and hook up on occasion with the Lotus guys to go to a few tracks. Check out SCDA's schedule if interested.

Jaime--congrats! Sorry that Saturday as sooo far away.

 

LOL!!! I haven't slept at all. It's actually a LOT better than waiting for an ordered car like my Lotus. 14 months to be exact when it was first launched in the US. I was like having a baby...

Again, thanks for your huge insight. It's helping many!!

 

You're welcome. Enjoy. Sorry that the Lotus had to go

 

It was very hard the let that little Lotus go...oh well. As soon as they handed me the keys, started her up it took .003 seconds to forget the past! Holy ***** this car is just absolutely thrilling and my wife loves it. The suspension is perfect and my 3 year old son loves the rumble. We put 200 miles on her today. The sales team where terrific and they also gave my son and daughter these cute MB teddy bears. Tomorrow Venture shield gets installed...

 

Venture Shield Ultra was installed yesterday. They came to my house and after about 5 hours the car was done. I inspected the work very carefully and it came out awesome. I would highly recommend them. They will work within a 1 1/2 hour radius from Greenwich Connecticut.

 

Sounds awesome!! Now lets see some pics!

 

- Funny I saw this car there last week when I was in there getting my 09C63 Lemon'd. I saw the black on black on the floor for like $58k. Good luck with it.
