My E550 is due to arrive 8-27

It is on the ship due to arrive in port 8/22 and according to my sales guy it takes about 5 days to the dealer from there.

Flint grey ext. Black/sahara beige int.
P2 and AMG kit and a few other little things.

I find myself more excited than I thought I'd be... Christmas is coming early!

Congrats...

I'm jealous. I want a new 550 pretty bad. I love, love, love the black/sahara beige interior combo.

Congrats,

Can you tell me when you ordered yours. I ordered an 08 E550 on June 1 and dealer still doesn't have delivery information for me.

Thanks

Wow. Really? He hasn't called to tell you .. "the car has gone into production and from now its usually 45 days to delivery" or anything like that?

I ordered July 11th and I know my car at latest will be here mid-Oct and just went into production. I even got my VIN #.

1) I ordered last day of May

2) I negotiated vehicle price, but lease cant be negotiated until the car arrives

3) I'll try to post pics soon after it arrives

Thanks for words of encouragement!

2008 E550 w/Black on Black/Burl Walnut, Amg Sport Package, E63 AMG Rims
I'm excited as well. My E550 docks in Long Beach, CA on Aug. 18th. My rep said I should get the car by the 24th. I went with black on black with Burl Walnut, P2, AMG Sports Package, iPod connector, electronic trunk closer, panorama sunroof, parktronic, split rear seats and voice control. I'm also getting OEM E63 AMG rims and the illuminated door sills. I'll post pics asap.
