Our Baby Benz is on a ship!
"Houston, we have a VIN!"
ETA Brunswick, GA 02/03 November, 2011.
ETA Tyler, TX 10-15 November, 2011.
I can't make the Track & Trace thing work online. I'll take the Sales Manager's word for the above information.
"What a long strange trip it's been."
That tune is on the MP3 player and will be the first tune played on the GLK350.

You can't always get what you want (no, no baby)
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need, ah yes...

I know that is not funny. We are a victim of that disruption. Not time wise, but parts wise.
Hang in there. One thing is certain: A Mercedes-Benz will be here when it gets here. Not one minute sooner.

Camry? Garage? Kick it to the curb! J.K. I think.
I only have a single car garage in Houston. I will continue to drive the much loved S70 until it sells. There is no way I will park it outside. It also goes without saying that the GLK will not be parked outside.

Haha - that's $13k blue book you're telling me to kick!
We have 2 spots at our place - 1 for the BMW & 1 for the GLK.
The daily driver Mazda 3 is outside (I cringe @ this) & the Camry is too nice of an asset to be outside. It needs a home.

Cool you'll be getting it in time for a Thanksgiving road trip!
I work with someone who might be interested in an older Volvo, is it listed anywhere? Have a great time picking it up, Classic ( soon to be Mercedes of Tyler ) does a great job, I enjoy talking to Michael and Jeff, and all of the guys in the maint. side too.

Alas, I guess I have a mental block against listing my S70. At the moment, it is not listed anywhere. I do have all the service records with me in Houston. Send me a pm or email & I can fill in all the blanks. The S70 will be at Holly Lake Ranch, north of Hawkins, from the 19th to the 26th. We may be a little busy on the 19th if the GLK is ready. Any other time I will be free.

Can you give us the info on how to track the vehicle. I did OSD for the Volvo we have and was able to do it, but don't know how to do it for MB... Mine's in production and should have a VIN the end of the week...

Search the GLK section here for a thread I started with a video on delivery to the US. There is a link there to the shipping company web page. Use Track & Trace. Good luck-I could not get it to work.
