Our order is on the train

Our salesman left a message on Saturday that our truck was built and is on the train. He said 10 days. Hope it does not take that long. How slow does the train move? Our build date was not until today so it sounds like they are running ahead of schedule.

Cool, post pictures in when you get it. Don't trip about the 10 days when they were going to start on it today. Your way ahead of the pack. Your going to love your new SUV. The neighbors are going to be a little jealous.

It does have the lighting package. P2 package, leather/ventilated seats, running boards. Can't wait. It is for the wife. I hope she lets me drive it every now and then

Is it really coming by rail rather than truck?

The salesman only left a voice message but he definitely said on the train.

We placed the order the 2nd week in Feb. I spoke to the salesman yesterday and he said there is a slight chance it might be in by this weekend. We compared the two seats before we placed the order. The MB Tex is nice but at $60,000 I wanted real leather. The big difference is the smell. Our last ML had the MB Tex and I just could not get used to the plastic smell. You can't beat the real leather smell. I have the ventilated seats in my SL and they are nice. I wish that it was real AC that blowed out but it is still nice. My wife is always cold and I am always hot. We went on a small trip last weekend and I had my seat on ventilated mode and she had hers on heat. We were both happy. I will post pics when it comes in.
