Replying to: jrct9454 (Nov 06, 2007 1:37 pm) Excellent observation and comment about the add-ons. All those extras are just extras and they spoil the good thing. Some people like this stuff and so do the accessory suppliers. Could you place the link to the worldwide MB website? I am not very savvy with the Internet. Thanks.

Replying to: be325 (Nov 08, 2007 11:17 am) The dealer is in the Bay Area, CA. Talked to them again this morning. Now they know how to install. The cost is pretty high though, over $700.   Our other car is a BMW. Same equipment, done for $400 at the factory.   Guess Mercedes has to step up to compete with BMW ....

Replying to: be325 (Nov 08, 2007 11:17 am) Here's the link to the German site.   http://www.mercedes-benz.de/content/germany/mpc/mpc_germany_website/de/home_mpc/- passenger_cars/home/products/new_cars/cclasssaloon/design_lines_equipment/lines.- 0003.html   In the EU, there are three C "lines": Classic, Elegance, and Avantgarde.   Our "Lux" is an Elegance with the 17" optional Avantgarde wheels. Our "Sport" is the Avantgarde with an AMG body option, and various other options that are stand-alone extras in the EU and UK.   If you prefer English, the MB UK site has some of the same stuff, but is not really as complete.

Replying to: bmw_bayarea (Nov 08, 2007 12:27 pm) I got "quickpark" with our C300 Lux for $618. The dealer sent the parts out to the paint shop to be matched to paint (Palladium Silver) when the car came in. Installed the next day... no real delay, as it took a day to prep & detail the car for delivery anyway. I could be wrong, but seems like I remember reading somewhere that the inside of the bumper comes pre-marked from the factory for the install locations of the sensors... shouldn't be that big a deal. I think the MSRP for the parts is something like $450 sans labor, so I thought $618 color matched & installed was reasonable. We got our car from Gary Gunter in Palm Springs, CA. dealership.   Say, isn't the BMW versions called "slowpark"? Replies to this message: bmw_bayarea (Nov 09, 2007 7:01 pm)

Replying to: surface (Nov 09, 2007 5:20 am) Surface,   Thanks for the information. It is helpful. We took delivery of the car today. It looks very nice - Iridium Silver. Quickpark is not installed. Have to to back next week to get it done. Will cost approx. $750.   Question - do you have any issues with Bluetooth pairing? 3 guys came to try to pair the phone to the car. After an hour, still couldn't do it. We are hoping to be able to read the manual and get it paired, over the weekend.   Any experience to share will be appreciated.
#68 of 266 Should I Buy by skybirt Nov 10, 2007 (5:43 pm)
I am considering purchasing a 2008 C300. This will be my first Mercedes. Is there a reason that I should not buy this vehicle (I am also considering a Lexus RX350)? Replies to this message: jrct9454 (Nov 11, 2007 6:13 am)

Replying to: skybirt (Nov 10, 2007 5:43 pm) I've owned 54 cars since I started driving in 1962, including everything German and Japanese. Our '08 C300, off the first shipment to the West Coast in August, is right up there in the running as the best car we've ever had.   We now have 5200 miles on ours, and it is quick, quiet, smooth, comfortable, and a significant improvement in ride and handling over its predecessor. We have had no issues to report, at all.   Vs an RX350? Well, that's apples and oranges. If you need / want a wagon, then the RX is a good one. All the ones I've seen on the lots are optioned to over $40k, however, and we paid $35k for our C300 Lux with the P1 package. I thought about the RX, ES, and IS before we got our C300, but for various reasons, I'm very happy with our choice.
#70 of 266 2008 C300 passenger comfort on long tips by darlad Nov 12, 2007 (1:39 pm)
Has anyone been a passenger on a ride 2 to 8 hours? If so, how was your comfort? Are the seats wide enought? Is there enough leg room? Where you able to change seating positions?
