Not a damn thing buddy, as a matter of a fact... I was serious about being a pain in their posterior region. They handled my deal so well, that I felt compelled to share the experience. The price was right, the dealer was better than ANY I have ever dealt with (and I have lived in MANY different states, and owned MANY different brands). As a matter of fact, I'm no longer even living in Ohio ! Car was ordered just before I moved. My fellow forum Members deserve the same top notch treatment, agreed? PM me and you're welcome to have my phone#, I'll tell you the gritty details first hand. Thanks again.

great car! i agree, i have found that sales dept at the dealers I have encountered are usually good to outstanding, with the AMG performance centers being far more likely to stand above the rest for obvious reasons. its a superb service department that can be hard to find.....

Is it just the lighting or is there a gold tint in the "metal" trim on the steering wheel??

That must be the classiest C63 out there... I love the blue/beige combinations! Too bad the only interior color in 2011 was black!

Congrats on your new ride and order some new rear tires right away, you will need them sooner than you think!

Very nice, if I were to order a C63 today I do think that would be my exterior color preference. Unfortunately all of the local dealers I have tried talking to about ordering a car will not go down on the pricing and thus far I have been unwilling to accept MSRP as an buying option for me.

Lunar blue is a cool color. Definitely different from the black/silver/white you see everywhere.

If you're patient and willing to wait... call North Olmsted, they are usually willing to deal. Mention MB World

My dealer just called me with bad news. Someone already put a deposit on it. Damn I was getting excited.

I guess I'm too late to Congratulate. Seems strange that one would sell it that quickly after writing such a long an positive note about a dealer.
