Finally landed a 2016 E550 Cab, Yeah :)
Could not find that elusive 2014 in white/tan with all the options... except for the one at Crown in St Pete, Florida that had been in accident, but because it was the owners wife's ride there was no report in carfax.... I'm assuming....
Could not find a 2015 on the lot with all the options either...
Landed on a 2016 an hr and half away in Ft Myers, Florida.
Brantley Williams the sale guy was knowledgeable and no high pressure sales, we agreed on a good deal and got the deal done in a reasonable amount of time....
They cleaned it up, filled it with gas, handed me a couple of nice MB key rings and transferred the plates in a nice chrome plate holder before I drove back.
All in all a good experience.
The wife will find out she has a new ride today when i pick her at the airport, Surprise LOL
Gotta say I was wearing a fedora at 80+ with the windows up and the rear seat back rests raised, didn't raise the goofy air dam on the windshield.
No problems with my hat coming off
Think I'm really gonna like this car...

2014 E550 Coupe and 2010 E350 Sedan
Congratulations! Such a great car. I saw a new one on the roads here in Houston this morning on the way to work myself. In Cab or Coupe form, this car is just beautiful.

Daddio,
The mbusa site is good for looking at pre-owned from the MB dealers, getting a list of new ones wasn't so easy.
You can't search nationwide for MB's inventory at MBusa.
The best Method I found for new was autotrader.
Here are the links I used in my search...

change the zip and distance to your needs....

You can do it on the MBusa site but it's cumbersome to say the least... pick a city, enter a zip, do a search, it will typically list a few at that zip then a few that "are available by request" but doesn't tell where they are, so you pick another city and find those cars again but still no clue where. Very frustrating.
I even sent a message to mbusa asking how to search all new and they said you can't because they don't own the dealerships...
I call BS since they list as available upon request so they know about them... for some reason they won't list them all in 1 place.

Cumbersome is putting it mildly. I spent nearly 1 1/2 hours searching for "the" dealership who had a specific coupe in the exterior/interior color combination I was looking for which was initially listed as "available by request". What I had to do was search the individual DEALER inventories one by one as I used the main MB website to list those dealers in my area - 50 miles out - 100 miles out - 150 miles out etc. Not consumer friendly.
