Nice, how come you have silver calipers and base C63 wheels.
Interesting combination.
Enjoy your car.

I don't think this is the S, just a base C63

Congrats Man! She looks stunning! I almost got mine from MB of SF as well. Do you mind if I ask what deal did you get? Mine should arrive within a month or so as well and I should still be able to bargain my deal.

I saw an old S550 with an AMG badge. Saw a couple of regular "Letter-3digit" Benzes with AMG badges. Always a good laugh. I couldn't do it, I feel like I would be embarrassed, lol. I'm considering even debadging mine...

Hi All,

Is it worth it to take any or all of the MB First Class Protection Plan?

1.Tire & Rim
2. Paintless Dent Repair
3. Lost Keys
4. Interior & Exterior

Getting the entire package will cost less than getting 1 and 4 individually.

As for Diamond Paint Coating, should that be done through the dealer as well or externally?

Thanks

I just got the tire and rim, and the prepaid maintenance.

mine finished production first week in December but still no ETA on delivery. Dealer did provide me with a loaner and 1st months note for the inconvenience. Hopefully I get mine around the same time as you and other who are expecting delivery soon.

I understand that dealers set their own prices when it comes to prepaid maintenance. I feel that my dealer hosed me but they claim I'm saving money by prepaying. I paid $3,691 plus sales tax for 3 years of scheduled maintenance which they claim would cost $5,057.54 (including tax). Their breakdown is as follows:

2,000 mile service: $570.12
10K or 1 year service: $1,657.26
20K or 2nd year: $1,437.40
30K or 3rd year: $1,936.26

Those numbers don't add up to $5,057.54 so I don't know how they calculated the total it could cost a la carte, pay-as-you-go but their argument is that I'm saving money by prepaying. I think they've just inflated the numbers to justify the price they gouged me or else they're a very expensive stealership.

How do these numbers look to the rest of you? Cascade, how much did they charge you for your prepaid 3-years of service?

Cascade1

Holy **** man!.... I paid a little under 2K for that exact prepaid maintenance... $1995 and the wheel and tire package I believe was $1450.

I can get all those services done for $300 or borrow a lift and do them myself. Prepaid maintenance is a huge rip off... We spend so much time shopping for a good deal on the car and then give all that money back to the service department.

So for $1.7K, they're saying that they'll change your oil and filter, check your fluids and tire inflation, check your brakes, and reset the counter... That is effing absurd.

The 10K service is maintenance A, which includes the following;

• Mercedes-Benz Synthetic Motor Oil Replacement
• Oil filter replacement
• All fluid level checks and corrections are dependent on Mercedes-Benz maintenance schedule intervals for your vehicle’s year and model.
• Tire inflation check and correction
• Brake component inspection
• Reset maintenance counter

Service B includes the following;

• Mercedes-Benz Synthetic Motor Oil Replacement
• Oil filter replacement
• All fluid level checks and corrections are dependent on Mercedes-Benz maintenance schedule intervals for your vehicle’s year and model.
• Tire inflation check and correction
• Brake component inspection
• Reset maintenance counter
• Cabin Dust/Combination Filter Replacement
• Brake Fluid Exchange

In Canada, 3 Years Service - PPM package is $1599 (shows directly when building online). Dealership offered to perform the 2000 mile service for free.

I was able to negotiate the PPM package cost into the offer plus 4.5% discount off final sale price (including options).

I paid $1307 for the services you show here and I thought I was ripped off on a couple of them.

The Mercedes dealership near me is outrageously expensive, apparently. But the choice is to drive an hour or more to the next nearest dealership to get service and that's out of the question, so I just have to accept it, I suppose. I plan on keeping this car for a long time and have 4 years of factory warranty so I don't want to trust service to anyone other than Mercedes. I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes that mine is a Cabriolet and not a Coupe or sedan, nor that it is an S model (C63S) and not a non-S.

If you live in Broward County, Florida, don't service your car at M-B of Ft. Lauderdale (An AutoNation company). The only problem is that I think most of the M-B dealerships in the Ft. Lauderdale area are owned by AutoNation so one would have to travel to Miami to get serviced by a dealership not owned by them.

koifysh

that's outrageous!
my 2k differential service was $130
10k or 1 year service was $380
and 20k service coming up

Cascade1

Xec
