Thank you all - I will be moving onto a different vehicle

Just wanted to say thank you all to members of this community and the E63AMG family here.

I was a long time lurker for almost 1.5 years reading about this car, and actually had a deposit down about 6 months ago for my very own.

I have decided to move onto a different car and will likely not be here anymore, but did not want to leave without saying good bye.

Thank you all for the insight and laughs along the way, and best wishes to you and your E63's -- drive them in good health!

For anyone who is curious, I ended up pulling the trigger on a 991.2 C4S 2017 yesterday.

Cheers!

Hopefully some of my negative posts did not skew your decision on this. A lot of the problem I had was a horrible customer service experience in purchasing my car and it was mainly the sales guy. I think he was just going through a divorce or something and that may have had something to do with it. I had like nil as far as dealer customer service went and you don't expect that when you buy a $124K car, so consequently I think I ended up with a lot of buyers remorse. A lot of the issues I originally had were not addressed and I was forced to solve them myself, for example there are a couple of chrome strips around the rear passenger window that have factory imperfections under the clear coat. No matter how much I asked that issue was never addressed, then the thing with the exposed intercooler openings, never addressed. The Sales Guy was always too busy with new customers to worry about his former customers, not the way it's suppose to be. I thought the gap on the passenger side of the rear part of the hood was slightly wider than it should be, never addressed. Trying to get the Key they lost before delivery has been a nightmare, it's been over a month now. I called yesterday and the parts guy at the dealer told me it is being shipped from Germany. He coulda called me first to tell me it'll be in within a couple weeks or so, but nope, I always have to chase them for everything even though they screwed up with a lot of things. I tried to get Benz USA customer service involved but they never called back. Never again. Ya, your probably better off with the Porsche, I hear their customer service is much better, when your paying this much money it should be.
