2013 CLS63 AMG P30 EuroCharged Tuned; 2005 Dodge Viper Supercharged - 850 HP:
Ordering 2009 CLS63

I went to my local dealer and have put down the deposit towards the purchase of a 2009 cls63. Going over the options, his system did not allow to add a designo package along with the P030 AMG Performance Package (which is required in my case).

When selecting options on "www.carsdirect.com", I was able to choose both of these options for a 2008 model. I am just wondering what the real scoop is for 2009??? Can you not get a designo package with the P30 package or can you? Does anyone have a 2008 (or older model) with both of these options / configuration?

Also, would you mind sharing what price did you pay when you ordered your cls? Was it the MSRP, over or under? How much?

I can see 2008 cls63 on ebay listed for about $10 - $12K under the MSRP. What should be the fair market value or the price I should expect to pay for a 2009 model?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Are you talking about the CLS63 or the CL63 (you wrote CLS but this is the CL-board...)?

When I placed the order for the 2008 CL63, I had the same issue. MB of USA confirmed: EITHER 030 OR designo. Well, I wasn't happy about it.

Same applied to the S and obviously to all other 08 EXCEPT the SL55.
Don't know what is going to happen in MY2009 - but your experience is a bad sign..

That's cool and news to me. Since when exactly? Any sources?
When I placed my order in November, the dealer checked OnStar for MY2008 S-Class as well and a 2008 S63 with 030 and designo was rejected..
