Fragrance dispenser

Did anyone's car come with a scent or at least an empty bottle for the dispenser? My dealer is saying you have to purchase these additional, even though they are features on the car. They've not been the most upfront through my whole process so was curious if anyone else knows the real answer

Yes, I received a bottle

Yes, mine came with a bottle of fragrance. The dealer installed it for me during the technical training part of the purchase.

I figured they were lying. I'll make sure they put one in. Not happy with my first benz purchase so far (well i love the car but not the process I've gone through with the dealer). Will make sure to let them know I'll include all these issues on my customer survey.

My car came with one bottle, which the dealer installed at the time I took delivery of the car. I love the smell!

Mine came with the bottle and some small samplers. Have not used as will wait for the new car smell to go away. Looking forward to it.

The dealer told me I had to purchase but that really seemed crazy to me...While cleaning out the trunk of my new car with my stuff from the old car I found a plastic bag in there which included some safety vest which are designed to fit in a part of the door packet...The fragrance bottle was in a box in the same bag.....I installed in couple minutes. Very expensive to replace so use it sparingly.....Also cuts down the room in the glove box.
Hope this helps you.

Those bottles are crazy expensive.... I wonder if you can source a refill somewhere other than MB? The bottles just open up (assuming it's like the 222 ones) and could be refilled with anything you chose.

What a gimmick...The P1, P2, P3 packages are structured so a monkey can sell you a car. It is the height of irony that the dealerships are then able to pay minimum hourly wages plus a small commission for cheaply trained sales staff while extracting from you thousands you would otherwise not spend, just to get one or two desirable option features.

And, then they tell you a bottle of fragrance is extra? It seems natural enough to me.

Mine came with a bottle as part of delivery. Sounds like a greedy dealer.

My sales person even gave me an extra one free of charge. As SFL4U2 mentioned, check the trunk or spare tire storage area, the bottle might be there along with some other stuffs.

Mine came with a flacon of freeside mood installed.

In the trunk there was a small package with 4 samples (pacific mood, sports mood, downtown mood, and nightlife mood). There's only 1.2mL in each little vial so I'm assuming its a sampler so you can try before you by the full flacon.

What is your favorite scent?

Smoked bacon?

Road kill raccoon?

A hint of Hillary Clinton after she realized that she lost.

I think this option is really stupid.

This isn't good either literally or metaphorically.

I agree but it comes standard on the level 3 package
It eats space on the rather small glove box.
