She's coming home tomorrow....

Taking delivery tomorrow (2012 E350 4M). My profound thanks to all you amazing and helpful people who answered all my questions, provided tons of advice (and nudged me on..).

It's Calcite white, black leather interior. CPO (1 year remaining original warranty + ELW for 3 years over that), 29k KMs (about 18k miles). Dealer threw in a few extras (new tires, trunk liner, mats).

Canadian packages are a bit different, so here's the list of goodies:

Launch Edition Package:
- Panoramic Sunroof
- COMAND APS w HDD Navigation & DVD Player
- Leather Upholstery
- ARTICO Leather Dashboard

Premium Package:
- Rear View Camera
- Media Interface
- Rear Window Sunshade
- Harman/ Kardon LOGIC7 Surround Sound System
- EASY-PACK Power Trunk Closer
- Keyless Go
- KEYLESS GO / Power Trunk Closer Package

AMG 18inch 5-Spoke Wheel


Can't wait to drive her home tomorrow after work.

Pics over the weekend (and one special pic in a separate thread for people here in the know)

Well now, not sure how I missed that it was Calcite White! The best color available and you chose well again! Calcite white and the Pano roof is amazing. You will love it.

btw - my C300 is white as well, so there was this thing about having both white Mercs. Much as I love Black on black and the Tenorite grey/black interior, I do agree that the Calcite white with a pano roof is just gorgeous. But for me, in selecting a used car - color was less of a priority. Getting the right vehicle was the main objective.

Thanks. Well you've come to the right place - very helpful and knowledgeable people here (they helped me a great deal). I'd encourage you to ask as many questions as come to mind - you'll be pleasantly surprised.

PM me if you need any pointers on the various Ontario dealers.

Thanks. That's exactly right. And he who doesn't treat her like one, is destined to be screwed!

Looks great and that stitched dash really brings an exotic look to the interior. I want to sell mine now, so I can get that!

Thanks guys. Took her our for a long drive visiting friends today. Drives like a dream. Much as I love the C300, this is a different animal - in so many ways. Loving it.

Congrats on the purchase!

I must agree, this car has to be the most comfortable car I've ever owned and this is coming from a guy who owned quite a few cars.
