Would you mind sharing that the finance guy tried to do on your lease? I just got my Polar White AMG Black 19" and red leather seats too. Tint 30% all around except windshield. Looks really cool for the price point.
Finance guy convinced me to purchase the 2 year maintenance plan for $300 or $400 (can’t remember). I also told him I will probably purchase the car at lease end. I later saw that he revised the contract residual value to $500 more. The next day I had them refund my 2 yr maintenance and fix the residual value on the contract.
Has anyone found any good accessories for it yet? I did find a nice screen protector on amazon because everyone who sees the dash is obsessed with touching it.
Also does anyone know what the “charge” is on the MPG gauge? It’s kind of like this car is a hybrid, the mpgs go way up when coasting. Must be a really good fuel management system.
So so much tech in this car, having fun figuring it all out!
OK, so, you have had your car now for over four months. How is it going? What are you pleasantly surprised with and what are you somewhat disappointed about?
I love the car. It has exceeded my expectations and I am very happy with it. Gas mileage on a trip exceeds 40MPG. It is fun to drive. I am not a techie and wish that there was a way to get more help understanding and operating the MBUX screens. Hope you are as please with your vehicle. Joe

It's actually the same as mine. Adding prepaid maintenance will make the car residual value higher because it will be considered better maintained than not having the plan.
Do you mind posting pics of your car with new tint? I’d like to see what 30% see thru looks like.
Sorry I haven't check the forum often and didn't see this until now. If it helps there they are.
The factory glass is already 70% LTV so adding 30% makes it about 20% LTV. I think adding 50% tint would be sufficient for me as well and less chance of getting ticket.

Love the panda look! Looks like you have the red interior. That's awesome! I got mine 2 weeks ago in Mountain Gray with AMG line. Got the night package and black rear spoiler as well. I'm on the fence regarding tinting it as I really like the black trim contrast on the windows.
Anyone know what the hell this light on the rear-view mirror is? It's always on at night, right over my phone mount. Can't find anything to turn it off and don't see a point to it other than annoyance.
I guess you have to laugh at whoever thought it up... I mean what is it helping to light up? All the buttons and switches are self-illuminated. Reminds me of an old work laptop I had that came with a small light ABOVE the screen to shine down on the keyboard. Oh well, small piece of electrical tape it is!
