We're in the market for a new E400 and was wondering if anyone has done an ED with 3 people. I don't expect Mercedes will cover the cost of the third person but am curious dealerships can help organize a 3-person trip and we just pay them any of the extra costs.

Thanks!

What benefits are you looking to get coverage for a third person on? Are you thinking about the optional travel/hotel packages? Otherwise, I think the only perks where # of participants might come into consideration on are:

• One night hotel accommodations - (I seriously doubt MB will toss in another hotel accommodation. You might even have to pay the hotel for the extra occupant if you all stay in the same room)
• Breakfast or lunch at the Delivery Center restaurant - (They might comp you this, otherwise you simply pay the charges for the extra guest)
• Tickets to the Mercedes Museum - (It's not that expensive to purchase the extra ticket)
• Factory tour - (Not that big of a deal, but MB might accommodate the extra person taking the tour)

All in all I don't see any real show stoppers here that should prevent you from considering doing ED with three people.

Hi,

First post here.

Just got back from 4 week trip through Europe on our new EDP E400 coupe. There were four of us on the trip (myself, wife and our 2 kids). We booked the airplane tickets on our own since the Delta price couldn't match it even with MB voucher. I made the hotel reservation for 4 people via Mercedes site. Got a very nice room at Althoff hotel. They even had chocolates and stuffed toy gifts for our kids and the pull out sofa bed was made for the kids. At Mercedes delivery center they will give you a card with a barcode that covered all our expenses at the restaurant there. They also gave us 4 vouchers for the Mercedes Museum that you will have to exchange for actual tickets at the museum. We didn't do any of the Mercedes packages but went on our own off the beaten path.

Hope this helps.
