#12 of 97 Stuttgart-Sindelfingen by be325 Sep 10, 2007 (5:34 am)
Ken, We are in the Tampa Bay area (FL). I didn't know about the Lufthansa deal. Is it something new? I know that some time ago BMW advertised one for two (a full-price fare)on Lufthansa. We know the approximate date of our tour but we are in the early stages of planning to buy C-300. I believe that an informed buyer makes fewer mistakes. I saved and printed info in your posting. The train from Zurich to Stuttgart, may actually pass near Sindelfingen or make a stop. Thanks again.

Replying to: be325 (Sep 09, 2007 12:22 pm) When you order your car from a dealer for EDP you receive a packet with two taxi tickets. You should plan to stay over night in Stuttgart and you head to the factory at about 0830. It takes about 20 minutes to get to the factory. If you want to visit the Merceedes Museum it is closed on Mondays. The deliver center really takes care of you but plan to spend 5 to 6 hours. This way you get to tour the factory. It is all very simple and you will enjoy all they have to offer you. Visit your local Mercedes dealer and ask for the book they have on the European Deliver plan. It will give you lots of information on the program. Kenny

Replying to: pat (Sep 04, 2007 8:22 am) It takes 8 weeks to hit the East Coast and 10 weeks for the West Coast. I hope to receive the car the third week in October. I'm not sure why it takes so long when they have ships leaving for the US all the time. This is the only down side of using the EDP. Other than that it is a great way to save a few dollars and have the fun of driving your car around Europe. I highly recommend doing what is called the Black Forest Rally set up by Mercedes Benz. You can add more days to the trip if you wish and their travel agency will help you out with all the arrangements. Your local dealer has a book on the EDP which outlines the plan.

Thanks Kenny. Your posts are first-class. Informative and do a great service to all of us who are ignorant about the process ...but thinking about taking that route. Where are all those M-B salespeople who brag about how many cars they sold/delivered through Euro-D and how often they travelled to Germany but seem ignorant about basic details.... when asked. Again, great post(s) and thanks for sharing. We all wait for you to tell us about the final stage of the Euro-D process ..... your first spin at home.

For those who ordered 2008 C300 Luxury. When you ordered your car, were you charged an additional $260 Luxury Sedan fee? I was told that this covers the change of the Sport Grille (apparently the Sport Grille is standard on all C models) to Luxury Grille. Thanks.

Replying to: kenhiggi (Sep 11, 2007 7:29 am) Kenhiggi I am also in AZ and am looking to do EDP on a C-350. How long did it take from the time you ordered the car with the dealer before it was available for pick-up in Germany? Which dealer in AZ did you go through? Did they offer any additional discounts?   Thanks for the help! Replies to this message: kenhiggi (Oct 18, 2007 6:21 pm)

Replying to: mbineu (Oct 18, 2007 11:02 am) When I ordered my car back in July when the cars were just starting production. They gave me a date in August that worked out just fine for us. I'm sure you can get it faster now that they have production ramped up. We took delivery on August 13th and we dropped it off in Munich on the 18th. The car arrived in Scottsdale on September 21st.    The trip was simply the best trip I have ever had. The car is absolutely fabulous. I do feel the radio/nav system is to complicated but in time I know I will get use to it. The Lexus LS-430 simply has a system that is much more user friendly.    I bought the car from Schumaker in Scottsdale. My sales agent was Bill Lambert who was very helpful and very patient as we drove a number of cars before settling on the C-300. Bill is their EDP specialist and I will use him again in the future. I had them through in tinted windows. I sure they are not giving any more than the 7% discount because the cars are selling as fast as they come in.    Good traveling, Kenny
#20 of 97 Please advice by willy007 Oct 30, 2007 (1:09 am)
Anyone has any experience with EDP in California (south or north cali)? Which dealer gives a better deal? Does each dealer has a different schedule as to when we will receive the car? What fees are negotiable?   Also, when do we actually pay for the car (bill of sale)? I want to get this through financing.   Thank you. Replies to this message: jrct9454 (Oct 30, 2007 5:50 am)

Replying to: willy007 (Oct 30, 2007 1:09 am) You pay for the car 30 days prior to delivery overseas.   Discounts will be small to non-existent....there is very little wiggle room on the OSD price at the dealer level. Won't hurt to try, but keep your expectations realistic.   No difference in delivery times.
