I finally got a build slot - second decade of Feb. I had contacted my salesman five months ago to get me a allocation. Even tho I was first in line at his dealership it just came through last week. I had two other local (Boston) dealerships trying to get a build for months to no avail..... Im guessing that not everyone that wants one will get one...

I was quite pleased with my salesman, Herbert Haemmer. But he only does European Deliveries and I believe he may now be fully retired. He moved from the Escondido Mercedes dealership when it changed ownership and went to the El Cahon dealership.
I now use Hoehn in Carlsbad for my service because it is close to me, and so far the service has been great. But I've never really worked with their sales folks. A couple of years ago I pulled up to the Hoehn dealership in my jeep when I first started looking at the E63. Dressed casual in jeans and a tee shirt and have to say I didn't like the dismissive look down your nose vibe I got from them. They perked up a bit when I gave them my card to follow up on info on the 2018 E63 when it was released, but the damage was kind of done.
Then once I decided to go the European Delivery route working with Herbert was really the way to go.
Because I went through the ED program, the car was purchased in California, delivered at the factory in Germany, then shipped back to the States. I had the option to have the car dropped off at another dealership and because I travel frequently to the DC area I decided to have the car delivered to Euro Motorsports in Germantown, MD and have a road trip to drive the car back to California.
The Euro Motorsports guys are active on this forum and were great to work with. Maybe you could work some kind of schwell deal with them.

My Macchiato Beige interior could only be paired with Black. How did you get it with Espresso Brown? Id have done that in a heartbeat if it were possible without a delayed custom order.
