Got it Today

Very good looking. Drives and handles nice. Really feel comfortable in it.

(Don’t like the gas cap on the right side but that’s a small thing, isn’t it?)

On reflection my salesman - Tom Clinton - really did look after me good.
(As did the dealership’s management .... Mercedes Benz of Palm Beach.)
Now that my delivery is over ... I have to say I highly recommend them.

They gave me the best lease deal possible - so I leased it for 24 months.
And - Tom is getting me the wood/leather steering wheel .. which has to
come from Germany.

More later.

Jim,

Congrats again!! Hope you received my PM that I sent you via email.

We sort of guessed that you wouldn't be able to walk away from your black princess that easily.

Hope your enjoying every minute of it while the rest of us are waiting for Merc to come to their senses this Sunday.

Please post photos and show us what you are going to be driving for the next 24months. If you don't mind also posting what type of deal you ended up with, we sure would all like to see that (and would be appreciated).

See you soon with some pic.

Thanks for the congrats. Got your email.

I never intended on “walking away” from getting it! My only statement was
that if the lease rate didn’t go back down I would pay cash for it instead of
leasing it.

Pics? Sorry, I don’t do pics.

I'd just like to add my congratulations too Jim. I hope you like your return to Mercedes after all this time. I think you will.

It looks like I still have 8 to 10 days to wait for mine.

Bud
