Thanks for the advice...new ride on the way

Thanks to all who provided input to my previous post. While debating whether to order a 2013 or searching for a 2012 leftover, I stumbled on a CPO deal that was too good to pass up. So, my first Merc is as follows:
2012 E550 4Matic
Diamond White on Natural Beige/Black with Black Ash trim
P2
Driver Assistance Pack
Parktronic
Panorama Roof
MultiContour Seats
Illuminated Door Sills
Roof / Rear Deck Spoiler Pack
Comfort Box
Wheel Locks
Split Folding Seats

It has 12k on the clock and 9 months in service. If my math is correct, that means with the CPO I'll actually have a longer than new car warrantee. Either way, I can't wait to get it. First stop DMV (buying out of state, so need to register myself), next stop Tire Rack distribution center for some Pilot Super Sports (is MB joking by shipping a car with as much power to to launch and mass to stop with no-season tires?), last stop at local MB for mounting and balancing.

I'll post pics when she arrives.

I wish mine had split-folding seats in the rear. I retrofitted those into my former C300 and they were fantastic! Good luck on that one and please post picks, and of the interior with those seats up and at least one down - so I can get all steamed up about finding some for my E!
