PULLED THE TRIGGER 300d

As the lease on my '13 ML350BT is maturing in April, I went ahead and ordered a new 300d with the following build:

Lunar Blue Metallic
designo Porcelain/Black Exclusive Napa Leather
Black Piano Lacquer Trim
Premium 1 Package
Wheel Locking Bolts
Illuminated Side Running Boards
Rear Seat Convenience Package
Lighting Package
Exterior Sport Package
Heated and Ventilated Front Seats
AMG 20" Wheels
harmon/kardon Logic 7 Sound System
Brushed Aluminum Running Boards
Apple CarPlay
Heated Rear Seats with 3-Zone Climate Control
Magic Vision Control
Ambient Lighting
Accessories Chrome Package
Parktronic Package (Surround View, Active Parking)
Drivers Assistance Package

MSRP of $77,680 plus Apple Carplay as they haven't priced that yet. They said that a 25,000 mile/year 36 month lease would be around $1,500. Unfortunately my husband (who drives this) drives a LOT. We'll see how the numbers look once the car comes in. They wouldn't quote anything in concrete as they said MF changes monthly, along with other incentives. Supposed to be built the first week of April and at the dealership by the end of April.

Your car sounds great. I too have a 300d on order in Cardinal red with saddle and black interior. Mine was built on 1/7 and missed apple carplay by one day. I have a feeling it's included with the Premium package

That would be nice if it was included. I almost went with Cardinal red, but went to the dealer to see it in person and it was just leaning a little bit too orange for me. What I really wanted to get was Mystic Red, but alas not to be had anymore.
