S Class Coupe
Ordering 2018 S Class -- Thoughts?

Currently have a fully loaded 2015 S Class Coupe (love the Saddle leather Designo interior). Now need to have 4 doors, so will soon replace it with an S Class Sedan.

Any thoughts about best way to order it? Deals?

MBUSA website shows nice 19" Multispoke wheels -- but they don't seem to be available in reality, according to my dealer. Which is right?

The way I'd order it: All wheel drive, Lunar Blue, Nut Brown/Black Exclusive Nappa Leather, High Gloss Burl Walnut Light, Premium Package, Driver Assistance Package, Power Rear Seats, Panorama Sunroof, Head-Up Display, Black headliner, Exclusive Trim Package, 3D Surround Sound system,Wood/Leather Steering Wheel, and then the 19" Multispoke wheels if they really are available.

Any thoughts or advice to share?

I thought the 19" multispoke were standard on the 560.

The warmth and comfort package is $2600 vs. $1515 just for the rear power seats. For $1085 more you'd additionally get heated/ventilated rear seats, heated steering wheel, and heated armrests.

The standard Burmester audio is impressive, not sure I'd spend that much for the upgrade.

S Class Coupe
Thanks, rediesel.

The 19" twin 5 spoke wheel seems to be the default standard on the 560. I like the 19" multispoke but my dealer didn't know anything about them. Maybe I need a different dealer.

As for the warmth and comfort package, I live in the desert in California. Heated anything inside the car isn't really necessary -- would get used only very rarely. It's often well over 90 degrees here gets to 120 on occasion! I really don't want the rear power seats -- the usual occupant back there is going to be my dog and he doesn't seem to care -- but it is required (yes, required!) by Mercedes if you want the Exclusive Nappa Leather upholstery, and I do. Seems a big ripoff to me.

I have the upgraded Burmeister in my current S Class Coupe and like it a lot -- perhaps I should compare with the standard system to see if the upgraded version is worth it.

I like the 3D on mine.....then again, I've never been a serious audio person. I never did like the idea of aftermarket stereo's due to the installation factor......taking things off.....running wires etc....so I opted for the, expensive, option and have been happy with it....2014 is the year, maybe they've made some improvement's since.
I have ordered 4 cars that I configured and only received about 2k off each time.......buy off the lot if they have what you want, will get a better deal. Your build sounds nice.

Try a site like carjojo.com to see what discounts dealers are offering in your area. In my area, the best deals I saw were around $8,000 below MSRP on a 2018 S560 4Matic sedan.
