Going in at noon tomorrow to get her. They got it from an out of state dealership as my guy searched for one with the options I wanted. Will be interested to see how their extended warranty compares with the quote I got from your recommendation here.

On a side note, I haven’t told the wife I’m getting a new car. Maybe I’ll just tell her I won it in a drawing.....lol.

Hey guys! I’m alive! Called the wife from the driveway and said come out. When she came out she half smiled and was shaking her head. Opened the passenger door, saw the interior and said...wow this is beautiful.

So, first impressions:

Drive: rock solid, very quiet. Will be a great long distance cruiser. It’s big! Drives big! Very spacious. Definitely does not handle like my C300 Sport! But that’s expected. Im ok with the 4 banger. Adequate pickup. It’s a cruiser not a sports car, I accept that. It’s a heavy vehicle and doesn’t stop like my little C class.

Interior: Gorgeous. I have the Macchiato/ Magma Grey, Natural grain grey oak wood trim. Really stunning. The downside is going to be keeping it looking clean. Any tips? Looks almost white. Love the dashboard...just wow. MBUX is way ahead of the game. That screen!!!!!!!! That freaking screen!! Nice!
The bad: very limited cubbies to put phone, change, etc. Don’t like the two handles on the center console.

My deal: I took the 7 year/100,000 extended warranty. Thanks Greg/Oregon I got them to match that great price. I also took the MB Prepaid Tier2 E maintenance pkg for $1,645. Should I have? They were pushing hard for the Diamond Ceramic exterior and Interior protection system for $1,295. I declined.

I look forward to your thoughts and comments.

According to our dealer friend fabbrisd1 the 4/40 Premier maintenance is $1,545 list. I plan on getting it.

Rained this morning so I put on the wipers and the driver side wiper goes too far left and hits the window frame. I’ll wait for a few weeks to see if any other little issues pop up. But got to say....I’m loving it!
