Oh no!

After waiting 8 mo my car is here, except it's not my car. Theme of car is black. Night package, black forged rims, black diamond interior. Dealer made a mistake and ordered chrome interior. 😩 In general, I hate chrome interiors, and it really sticks out the way this car is optioned with black theme. I dont think i can live with it, especially when shelling out over $150k. When i ordered the car there were few GTs available, there are many more on line now. I think i will get my deposit back and find a car i can live with, rather than wait for a rebuild. Oh well...

That really sucks. Get them to give you a discount on a new one. They should have allocations in the pipeline as the GT-S are not flying off the shelf.

Interesting, did your dealer put in the correct option code to start with?

When I ordered my GTS in late Oct I wanted the black diamond with no carbon as well. Ordering system took the order but factory came back 2days afterward and said not available (dealer was told a parts availability issue) and defaulted to the std silver trim. After a week of trying the dealer was able to get the black diamond and matte carbon trim package through the ordering process, so it might have been the black door inserts that were a shortage.

The dealer covered the cost of the matte carbon as I didn't want it to start with.

My car arrives next Tuesday or Wed, hopefully everything is correct.

shew!
sorry about that, I agree about the trim, that isn't a good one! Did the dealer admit to the mistake? or was it one of those "Mercedes Benz reserves the right to make changes..." BS things? I couldn't agree more about not wanting the car, especially after waiting so damn long! there may be some advantage to getting a better deal? for the 'mistake'?


can you imagine the guys building it?


"wow, this customer got all black with this trim??"

I have the Diamond Black trim in my car and it is a major finger print magnet. No sure I'd would get it again if I had a choice.

MY2017 they are replacing the DB trim with Black Piano Lacquer. I wonder if this is in response to the finger print issue that joseyu is talking about.

joseyu

Doubt it. I have sat in other AMG vehicles with the piano black trim and it's a fingerprint magnet as well. I think any black trim, while beautiful, will get dirty really quickly.

yes, I can vouch, I was so mad when I got my CLS, and it had this type of trim......because I ordered FC, and thought it would be that......but around the shifter is black
