Thanks and agreed on the manual. Will start reading it tomorrow. Lots of controls are very similar to my C350 (2013) which the dealer coughed up a CarMax match for on trade.

2018 C63S Sedan
Just been running around today trying to get things done. Went to Fort Myers (from Miami) Thursday afternoon to get a CarMax appraisal as the dealer said they would honor the higher of theirs or CarMax. Drove back today and needed to get to the Credit Union as the dealer would not take a Certified Check made out to me, so to I had put $32,500 on credit cards to finish the deal and needed to get the check back into the Credit Union so I could transfer some money around before close of banking business, then get home and get the garage opener setting taken care of and wipe the Alligator Alley bugs off the finish before the little critters go acidic, and take wife to dinner since we were in a rush to get back and skipped lunch. Along the way wife checked the trunk and saw no spare and the salesman said it was on run flats. They say MO on them and are Michelin Super Sports. I'll be getting into the manual and tires/trunk tomorrow. Meanwhile, with about 150 miles on it the tranny engages smoothly in Comfort setting forward and reverse. Will see how it works cold tomorrow. Wonder if I can find some black AMG and C63 s replacements for the chromeish rear stickons.

It does not have a spare but a can of slime and a pump --good luck-- looks nice

MO stands for Mercedes Original, it means these tires are specifically tuned for Mercedes vehicles, and you should find MO1 on your tires instead of MO because MO1 tires are made for AMG models, since the default PSS tires have MO1 on it instead of MOE(Mercedes Original Extended), then it doesn't even feature the run-flat like characteristics by offering temporary extended mobility. So your tires are not run-flat by any means. (Even the MOE tires are not run-flat because they don't meet the ISO run-flat tire operating limits under all permitted vehicle loads)

Also very right about listen to the salesman... he thought all AMG's are four wheel drive and you could only get a Panorama roof of no sun roof. Had to educate him on those at order time. OTOH, at almost $6K off and a CarMax match on my trade (2013 C 350) he does have some redeeming qualities.
As an after thought.. too bad they don't black the rear chrome strip and AMG and C63 S designations along with the Night package.
Thanks for the help on this one.

Coming from a C350 with Sport Suspension and MSS tires at about 42 psi front and rear it is a bit stiffer but better damped in Comfort. Love the HUD 4 sure.
Salesman was wrong on the Sunroof, 4 wheel drive and run-flats. Definitely needs product school.
