Talking Almost The Proud Owner

My new SL 55 cleared customs on Monday and went to the VPC. My dealer tells me I will probably have it Saturday. Can't wait. I had a little situation on the rims that came with the car. Wanted turbine, came with 5 spoke. Dealer is correcting and eating the $2,800 which makes me very happy.

I'll post pics when the sun ever comes out in Baltimore.

Beesfan,
Any ideas what the time span was between the ship docking the port, and the car clearing customs??
My car is on the Talisman ship and is scheduled to arrive June 4th into Baltimore Port. I want to get a sense of the time frame to delivery!I am in Boston
Thanks

RezF,


If the East coast is anything like the West coast, you should see your car approximately 5 to 7 business days from the day that the boat docks at the port. I hope this helps you out in planning your new arrival!!

Thanks MarcusBenz!
I think NY would have been a more strategic port for delivery (as BMWs del. to Port Elizabeth as well as Baltimore) but the only scheduled drop off is Baltimore followed by Georgia.

Picked the car up Saturday morning. It is all it's advertised to be. I sold the CL55 for $80K.
