Huh, only had to deposit half that when I ordered my SLS. And Mercedes has stated the Euro models would see production/delivery in early 2012, so expect February/March 2012 at the earliest for the US. Mercedes has been using a conversion ratio of near 1:1 with US$ to Euro recently with their pricing on AMG cars (see the current CLS63 and SLS prices in Euros vs US$), so I would expect a no-options Black Series to go for ~$115000-120000 considering the official 115k Euro price.

C-class coupe weighs around 50lbs less than the sedan, so expect a dry curb weight of around 3600 lbs. Depending of course on how much the Black Series components add to the car. The CLK63 Black weighed more that the standard CLK63 despite having carbon fiber body panels, etc in Euro-spec, even more with the US-spec seats on US models.

I'm not really concerned with what he or she had to do, I just relayed what I was told. Hopefully it's of use to some.

Not a pizzing contest

I hope I get to see one first hand at our local dealership this fall.... and perhaps get a ride in one.

My horizon for a new car is 2+yrs.... and it may be a pcar.

But it sure is fun to think about ordering one up for christmas time!

C63, C55 (Sold)
The car really looks very cool, but even if I had the money, I would wait 1.5 - 2 years to buy a used one instead. loosing 20% of the car value on the first two years doesn't make any sense to me. I prefer someone else to suffer such loss.
