B777

Picked up our New 350 at the factory last week,drove it 2100 miles and had a wonderful time,did about 130 on the autobahn and it drove and handled excellent,colour is Capri Blue,I know it almost looks black depending on light conditions,if anyone is thinking about doing the Euro Delivery I highly recommend it,MB really took care of us,the factory tour in itself was fantastic,and the hotels they put us up in were truly first rate.

Congrats!

I am REALLY interested in the color, but the uploaded pics are very small and it's tough to see.

Could you possible upload some full sun and some shade pics of the car at a larger size? Thanks.

B777

I just posted larger pic's,sorry I do not have any in full sun,was cloudy most days while over there,I should get the car in a few weeks so I'll post more then

Congrats, beautiful pictures! I would love to do Euro Delivery one day, it seems like such a great program and I have heard only wonderful things about it.

Congrats, and great pictures I especially like the one with the large yacht next to the E!

Agree completely regarding Euro Delivery. It is a wonderful program. If you ever have the chance to experience a Mercedes-Benz on its home turf you should certainly take advantage of this. Also, the museum in Stuttgart is amazing.

Do you have to pay MSRP on the Euro delivery? I get the 7% off deal but is that 7% off MSRP or 7% off the negotiated dealer price?

B777

It is 7% off MSRP,which is about 1% below factory invoice,then they also take off the $895 delivery fee which is about another 1.5% and I refused to pay the dealer their prep fee which in my case was about $700,thats another 1% or so,all in all I got it for close to 10% off MSRP.I think thats about as good as you can do,they gave us two nights in 5 star hotels,about 15 to choose from in various countries,taxi vouchers to the factory from Stuttgart Airport or city and breakfast or lunch at the pick up showroom,just be ready for the European tolls,they really rip you off,we drove 2100 miles in various countries and my tolls were over 400 Euros!But it was a great vacation with my son,I hope that helped

Very nice car you've picked up! I personally like the Capri Blue very much. It is a very popular colour in Europe but not that popular in the States.

See any nice yachts at the recent Monaco yacht show?

B777

Thanks Patrick,yes you would have a hard time finding a capri blue in the states,I finally found one at a dealer before i ordered mine,The yachts in Monaco were unbelievable,the amount of money floating around there is almost disgusting,I'm sure a lot of it ill gotten wealth
