I been on the site for awhile. Have a 2009 S65 Mystic White sitting at the port waiting for a week to get transported.
Can verify that price just went up $3000-4000 between order in July and production.
Just wanted to say this site has been invaluable for lots of info, always more than my dealer knew.

Looking at getting ECU tune done and trying to find headrest monitors.

Will post pics hopefully soon.

Congrats on owning one of the best cars in the world. Enjoy it!

Thanks guys...Feel like I am waiting for a Christmas present. The Mystic White color is terrific, only saw it on a s550 so ona s65 it should be even better.

The 4 seat package is no longer an option, not in NetStar as an option. Only i-pod, doorsills and bluetooth adaptor as options. Sucks the price just went up again.

The ship is scheduled to be at VPC in Baltimore next week.

sounds like a great car! The mystic white is great with the white/black interior and black wood. hot!

Drmac

Have a question: wanted to get the lighted doorsills but my dealer could not assure me that they would come with "AMG" from the factory...now from the dealer after delivery they are much more expensive and with labor...

Does anyone have ideas where to get the illuminated doorsills with AMG somewhere else?


Thanks

I would call around to a few of the shops that do custom work in Cali and see how much they would charge for install. If they don't charge an arm and a leg like Benz, then order the sills and have them install it. A lot of the shops who do Brabus work know how to put them in, because you can get them from Brabus.

congrats!
go to the port and take some pics!!

email MBenzNL@gmail.com for RES (rear entertainment system)

Drmac

Thanks for the info..

Sucks we can't get the RES that everyone else can..Vizualogic makes an active headrest solution monitors...looking into that also.

those a great headrests i have seen them before and they look real good and are very user friendly.

PM me your regular email address and I'll send you pics of my headrest monitors from my S65. I did a ton of research and looked at so many and finally found some that looked good and are fantastic.

I just picked up a 2008 Mystic White S65 last month. Car is amazing with the diamond cut stitching. The interior just gets dirty real quick. Constantly cleaning it and I only have 1400 miles on the car LoL.. Good luck with a beautiful car.

Drmac

I have two children so the interior will get frequent cleanings....Cargo ship supposed to dock in Baltimore in 2 days then hopefully driving it a week later.

I have talked to the guys at midcity engineering couple of times and trying to get the VIM module and the vizualogic active solution headrests, TJ and Rob have been very helpful.

too bad you cant just go to the port and drive the car home from there!

Drmac

Believe me, if I could I would !!

Congrats on the purchase. Just a little help, but if you ordered it in July, you should be price protected. I would ask your sales person to look in to this for you. The Mystic White is definitely a hot color combination.

Drmac

I will be at the dealership tomorrow and will ask him about it...Thanks

If you have the VIN you can get the exact location of your new S. Enjoy! http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTrac...trackType=Auto

I used that website to find out the date into the ports and then used vesseltracker.com to follow the cargo ship...however once in the middle of the atlantic the tracking gets lost..

Supposed to be docked in Baltimore in 2 days.

As a side note for those looking for headrest montors...spoke to Rob at mid city and a great price for monitors with vizualogic's active headrest solutions (preserves the headrest, on vizualogic's website)...also ordered pcmcia card and along with the VIM module...so now just got to wait for the slow ship from Germany...

Thanks to everyone for all their thoughts and ideas..

Hard to keep my patience..

Soon2bMB

you planning on doing a brabus chip in the car at all? Also just curious what is the price for the headrests?

Congrats! Great choice! You will soon be driving one of the best cars in the world.
