2011 E350 Cabriolet..White and Almond Mocha
NevadaJack BREAKING NEWS!!!!

I checked on my build date today and it has now been moved to 2nd Decade in May, meaning late June delivery. Sales rep said no explanation and he could not guarantee they would not move it again since it has moved from early April to mid May already. I think it may be the Distronic Plus.

Anyway...I went inventory searching and found a car at Glauser that was just posted on their site. I talked with the Sales Rep and he said it was a special order and the guy failed to qualify. It is a Alabaster White with Premium Sahara Beige AMG. Price was higher than my order but after a few offers/counter offers...SOLD to NevadaJack

Delivery will be the end of next week probably.

Here are some pictures from the Glauser site of the car:

And to think, all this started with an R-Class !

Jack - Congratulations (again) ! What a great selection, with you being back in Alabaster white again plus the AMG body kit. The car looks fantastic and you'll have it in days, not months ! I'm guessing that this will also solve the "wheel issue" too. Did you get all the options that you wanted ?

PS Quick, get that "old" signature re-done !

Wow! at 104K, what all did it come with? It's beautiful, and best of all it's the same color as the old S430! too cool Jack! Drive up to PHX and pay us a visit!

edit: Nevermind, I just read the sticker! Duh!

The signature is already done...:-) You know me an signatures...

I did not get Distronic Plus or the PanoRoof...but the tradeoffs look pretty good. ABC is terrific so I understand and the rear view assist should come in handy also.

To tell you the truth Jack, Alabaster White may be my favorite color for the S550.

It's looks wonderful. So are you going to drive up there to trade in the S430, or is it going to be delivered to you?

If you're going to drive up there, I'm gonna need to start packing for the road trip. Make sure to clear out the trunk for me. I'll bring the beverages.

(Don't forget, put use to those camera lenses of yours and give us some nice hi-res pics when you get it.)

When you saw that this one had the AMG Package, was that a turn off for you at first?

NO...even though I wanted the softer ride of the regular tires. The price was always the turnoff on the AMG package but I can deal with that. I think these wheels are great also.

Oh NO! Now Jack had to change his sig pic again!!

Nice going Jack, tho I'm paranoid to call my dealer to get MY build date update. I did call last week for the latest update, so if it's delayed again, I might have to look elsewhere.

Anyway, enough about my order. Congrats, Jack!

With that car...no wonder you like white. Thanks for the good wishes and I also think the AMG look really makes the car look great.

That's those massage specials they offer. Anxious to try them out on a long trip. Along with the ABC Ricky I may not know I'm on the ground...:-)

Is that a good thing?

Let me know how comfortable those seats are on the drive. The LS430 stops the blood from flowing after an hour or so.
