They are order only, but my GM wanted to have one for that "unique" person that has to have a 507hp R-class!!

Only one, the owner of Giovanna wheels was thinking of buying & taking to SEMA in Vegas, but decided against it in the end.

S550
is there a "special" lease rate available on these cars? (like the r350 which are going for under 400 per month now)

Marcus,

Since the R63 is special ordered does this likely mean very few will get to test drive before buying?

Have you driven the R63? How much different is it from the R500? We're considering the R500 but do you think the 63 warrants the extra cash?

As stupid as it sounds but can a R63 be tame enough to drive "normally" or does every stoplight need to be a mad dash?

I would never buy from the HOI or step foot in the place again after how I was treated with them when I was looking for a GL.

I do have pics, but due to the issues with posting, I cannot put them on the site. If anyone wants them, I can e-mail....just let me know your address!

llrp....I apologize for your experience, but is there any reason that you did not ask for me? Just like every dealer there are always one or two bad apples that ruin the batch.

I've had great experiences at House of Imports. This was before I know of marcus (way before) but I dealt with a gentleman named Alex Livadas.

Yep, you hit it right on the money! He is related to one of our sales mgrs, so he is in the store from time to time.

R63's are special order only, predicted sales of it would be 200 units in the US.

you have a 'GM' also, great! several of us here also have GMs. Mine is pretty lazy and scarce! Did your GM not take the pics for you to upload? Maybe I can have mine do it for all of us....

Wow! that is out of left field & not sure what you are implying?? If you read the previous posts, you would see that I do have pics of the R63, but cannot post due to the site restricting uploads! If anyone wants, I can e-mail them, just need the addresses.....

Nah, he's got good reason. He actually works for a living, HOI, Mercedes dealer. Other people don't have reasons at all.
