Option 2: A "stronger than time edition" for MSRP but 10k over our current spec....and in the most hideous color combo I've ever seen Mojave Silver + Tan Interior........

I told them to do better, so he's talking to his manager to see what they can do. But I'm not expecting anything at this point. MERC corporate decided to make the change...and didn't tell anybody that they deleted it from our build. Not sure how you can trust a company like that.
This is terrible. I'm so sad that this has happened to you. I would be so, so gutted and absolutely p**sed off ..... What a shame that this has turned from a great experience into a nightmare :-(.

@Callihan509 which dealer are you getting it from in Charlotte? I know all 3 and can slap some folks around if needed. Hopefully Hendrick because the S. Charlotte dealership tends to be on the NO negotiation side.

Still waiting to get mine on the damn boat!

i did find 2.99% on 84 month
waiting to hear what 60 and 72 month would be. I will post once I get that info. 84 just sounds way to long. This should give me ammunition to get a better lease rate. At Local credit union in Texas.

Finally assigned to a Ship!!! The waiting is killing me but getting closer!

Congratulations! Beautiful ride. Any first drive impressions you can share. We are starving for some good news and new owner G63 impressions certainly qualifies.

My build was completed last decade of February so probably another few weeks for arrival ( if wife will still let me purchase with the economic shake up ). Love to know your thoughts!
