TO: ALL MERCEDES-BENZ CANADA DEALER PRINCIPALS AND/OR GENERAL MANAGERS
RE: December Programs - AMG
AMG constitutes the best of both worlds, the genes of Mercedes-Benz enriched with AMG's performance DNA. This combination, delivered through philosophies like "One Man - One Engine", results in an incomparable dynamic experience that connects with performance enthusiast throughout Canada regardless of the weather.

Already into the winter season, the potential for inventory restrictions for alloy wheels and winter tires exist.

Subsequent Warranty Claims can be processed in 2012 against all eligible December 2011 deliveries as inventory availability increases.
Good Selling!

Winter wheels and tires are included. Not sure of the wheel design, however.

Nice, can't get any better than this. I guess it's the time of the year where car dealerships sales are low.

Can we get this if I bought my car in September? Winter setup cost $2k Mercedes quoted $4k. Would love any free tires as this car goes through rubber like the best of them!

Cuz you can't get off the lot without them if there's snow on the ground

Haha...thanks, thing is I walked into the dealer the day before and bought the car after looking at pre-owned the past year. However, I can't find any mention of the offer anywhere on the web...

Nice, you must be eligible for sure then. Print this letter from the CEO & show it to them. They probably know about it, but didnt say anything.
Like my case, I realized few months ago my car didnt have lock nuts... until I looked at the invoice & saw 195$ for locks.

I confirmed this with my dealer this morning. They only received notice on the 9th of December. Dr. Doug, I expect they weren't up to speed when you picked up the car. It applies to all December deliveries.
As I already have a winter set up, I'm going to try to negotiate summer tires or something else. If not, I will be posting a FS thread in the coming months.

Stock 18" AMG wheels and 4 Continental or Michelin (not sure the type) 225 tires. I'm not sure if they are 4 front wheels or the staggered set.
I'm hoping my car arrives at Autoport before the end of December so I can benefit.

That's good because my sales guy is still looking into it.
So I'm supposed to get a set of winter wheels and tires free?

The dealer told me MSRP on the wheel/tire combo is around $4,500.

My dealer ordered my winter wheel and tire package today for my car that is at the port now and will be delivered (hopefully) Friday. I have seen the actual letter and the requirement is December delivery so there is zero reason for you not to get this IMO.
