(Deleted; did not go through with purchase)

 

Freebies? LoL....MB has been kind enough to remove the cost of the multicontour seats from the window sticker. That should be enough to "wow" you.

 

Ask for complimentary PPM

 

In addition to the missing multi-contour seats, I see there’s also no HUD !

 

Enjoy your new Mercedes and drive it in good health! I love the lined wood!

 

I believe those who ordered a while back received complimentary maintenance depending on the dealer, however that was only because they had ordered months back and had not anticipated the issue.

 

Do you mind telling us why you didn’t go through with the purchase?

thanks!

 

Ever get a bad vibe from a deal? That's what happened to me. For starters, my sales rep was condescending and fairly aggressive. The driver's seat base had a cover pushed out. I found out from another salesperson that the car was used as the display/test drive model (it was one of the first to arrive at dealers--many of the onyx black S-classes were demo's)- my sales rep lied about it when asked and said no way do we let people even sit in a new S-class (huh?), it had about 50 miles on it, I wasn't totally sure about the onyx black, etc., etc.

Anyway, I got $3k off MSRP but when I inquired about the PPM (before deposit) I was told they would look into it. After paying deposit and giving them insurance the following day, I asked again about PPM and was hit with a bunch of snarky comments basically putting me down for even asking about PPM after they did the "unheard of" thing of giving me off MSRP. To be honest, at that point I had it with the sales rep and the dealership, and I figured this is no way to be treated during the process of buying my 6th or 7th new S-class. So I told him the deal is off. A minute later he miraculously got me the PPM after pathetically saying "GM will give you the 2 years PPM if you give us 10's on our review". What? lol. Also worth mentioning the GM contacted me and asked what they can do to move forward with the sale, I think she was hinting at additional $$$ off- but I didn't pursue it further.

I'm very happy with my decision to walk away. I wasn't sold on the car 110% to begin with and the experience with the dealership sealed (or unsealed?) my choice.

It took me a few hours of calling around to find multiple S-classes for sale and a few dealers willing to go under MSRP. My thinking now is to wait until late September or October and get in a 2022, with hopefully a decent discount which I am certain there is to be had.

So if anyone wants an onyx black on sienna with flowing wood lines trim, warmth and comfort, wheel locks, rear spoiler, Y-spoke 20" wheels and is ok with with missing front multicontour front seats, go to MB of White Plains ; just make sure you get at least $5k off MSRP because why not.

 

‘Thank you for the explanation. When spending that much money, you need to be happy with the item and the service that goes along with it. Good luck finding the car of your dreams!

 

I agree! Don't know where salesmen get off.....a lot of them can be complete dorks. Fry them on the review

 

Active ambient lighting will not be available in 2022 S-class, which is a shame, because it's a neat feature. Haven't spent much seat time in a 223 yet, but I found the driveline a bit clunky and preferred the ride of the 222. Maybe because it was 4matic.

 

2022's won't be released till December.

 

Xmas here we come.

Also, Max- is it true active ambient wont be available for 2022?
