To get an S550 or not...
Well first off, let me give a little background... I was originally planning on purchasing a GL450 and ended up putting a deposit down on one, as they wouldnt order it without it. Since then I am thinking of switching to the S550, which the dealer said would be fine and they would apply my deposit if I choose to do so towards the S550, as the GL450 had not been built yet.
My problem is I am moving in August to another state and if I order my car through my local dealer, I was told it might not be available until January 2007 due to all the options I want on it. The problem is how to handle the paperwork, and my trade-in without losing my deposit. I don't want to have to ship it back, put it in storage here and/or fly back just to handle the paperwork and exchange the trade-in so I can take delivery of the vehicle here.
Talk about a PITA. Any suggestions?? (and no I'm not going to wait until Jan to move
)
