Aftermarket will cost you more because you have labor involved. The beauty of the factory one is... you order it and its put on your car for the flat cost and if you pay less than msrp for the car as a whole you paid less than 2k for the LSD. Probably not as much a worry but to some is the factory vs aftermarket part and warranty.

There has to be a local dealer somewhere with a car on the ground (any model) with designo leather... obviously its gonna be better than the std leather.

What is the price for designo?

paint is 2300 and leather is 3750, it's possible someone has one like you mentioned....
and I could find out, but ahhh, well, guess it isn't huge in my mind...
the std leather will be fine you know?
what colors did you go with? forgot already....

But I wanted the red leather for sure...

Be aware - mine was delayed about seven weeks due to some issue related to designo paint, and there have been posts from others with the the same.

true huh? designo is a real bite in the ***.....
can't see samples before you buy it, it's expensive.....
and it takes longer.....
dealer told me even P30 adds a few weeks to the build....

Yup. Designo options will take about 4-8 weeks longer. Is it worth it? YES, if you are willing to wait. I really like my Designo exterior matte finish.

Are you sure no dealers in US have that optioned car on their lots? I don't see the point in ordering if it's not designo paint. Also you could probably get a better deal.

This.


You may not get the exact car you want but in fact get more options for a lesser cost. A car on the ground is eating up flooring rates.

Ahhhh I didn't know that. I never ordered before. If you do get a better deal it might be worth it but I just don't have the patience lol. I actually was at the dealership getting my cl550 serviced and saw 2 cls63s getting unloaded off the transport truck. Then drove it home that night.

So I guess what I mean is for me since the options aren't too particular it would be worth it for me to just locate one in the states then to wait. But that's just my thoughts.

this is my third order, so I don't really mind the wait that much....
and it's possible there would be a similar build some where around here
in the US, but I only wanted the p1 and the p30 you know?
and exact color and paint is part of it too....
just a couple of thoughts....
and plus it's fun to build it
