Hey guys,

My car has docked on Friday and sitting at Port Kembla

Black on Black C63S Coupe.

Purchased from Mosman Mercedes.

I have been tracking the ship Morning Conductor which has now left

The status says - DISCHARGED PORT KEMBLA 16 - 9 - 16

Any idea how long it takes to get from there to the dealer? Want it yesterday haha

Thanks

Hey mate mine was discharged 4 Sept, then drive red status 7 Sept, and received it on the 14 Sept. I'm on Brisbane though and I guess it can vary depending on how busy they are at the port.

That was meant to read delivered status 7 Sept

Congrats on the purchase. You and Sanch will have to get together to compare black on black beasts!!

I've been told to expect 10 days from arrival to delivery so RHAUS is on the money as always.

I was also on Morning Conductor, discharged in Melbourne a few days earlier. Apparently it's completely out of the hands of the dealer until it gets through compliance and prep centre. I have been told a dealer can turn the car around in a day once they receive it. I'm hoping to take delivery by the end of the week and have an enjoyable weekend!

Looking forward to some photos of everyones different spec as they arrive.

What is a drive red status???

Just the bloody auto spelling playing games with me. Was meant to say 'delivered' status.

Haha I spent 5 minutes googling "drive red" status.

So discharged would mean offloaded from the ship and delivered would mean delivered to dealer or prep centre perhaps??

Haha sorry mate. I had asked about this when mine showed up as drivers and was told:

So your very close to the finish line mate. Exciting times.

Mines on the same boat! haha

Also, from Mercedes Mosman.... What are the odds!

I had a call from the dealer saying they are trying to speed up the process but customs takes its time.

I recon it will be next Monday.

I opted for the titanium wheels this time around... the black were a nightmare on the sedan to keep clean!

Can't wait to see everyone's car... shouldn't be too much longer (hopefully).

Exiting times guys! while not a coupe I've had my estate from Mercedes Sydney for a couple of months now AND IT IS AWESOME!

oh sanch tell me about it bro... my OCD just makes me check the wheels everytime I step into or out of Merc got me crazy man, like them always to be black

I think the satin black wheels is one of the best colours around at the moment.... when they are clean! lol

I feel you, I clean my wheels way too frequently as well.

Tell me about it. I'm feeing the pain already with barely 200km on the clock and those bad boys already have a nice rusty tinge to them.

hahaha true true, just when they're clean.

Merc has to be pampered very often to have her look good

haha dude you'll see happen more often

That bronze colour is so annoying!

haha it all depends on how you drive. I might manage to keep my wheels rather clean for the week, but oh god over the weekend, and when friends are in, they turn into bronze plated wheels

Maybe if it gets too much just a bronze plated wrap to match the wheels ha ha. I'm sure there's a market for that.

hahahaa, dude the brake dust is horrible but try the sonax wheel cleaner, its stunning use it every once in a while and it'll keep the wheels in a good shape.

Thanks for the tip SBH. I'll have a look into that.

let me say, there isn't anything like that feeling of waiting for your new Mercedes Benz to arrive, and then it arrives!
looking forward to some pictures, and congrats
