Mike02,
 
Picked up my C300 4M w/ P1 & MM on Feb 6 & drop-off on Feb 10 in Stuttgart. Black Forest package. Cost me an extra 75Euros for Harms to pick-up on a Sunday at the Graf Zepellin w/ 16 Euros for parking. Brought my Garmin w/ Euro SD card v9. No problems except when we got to Telfs, Austria. Garmin couldn't find the Interalpen Hotel. But as soon as you exit the autobahn and get to the roundabout, there are signs to point you in the right direction.

I just got official word from MB that Austria passed a new law prohibiting cars without winter tires entering the country until April 15, and as a consequence MB refusing any reservations in Austria in that time frame.

Mike02,
 
Is there any official Austrian website that indicate this? I am planning to go Austria by myself (outside of the Black Forest package).
 
Thanks,
Will

European Style Tags in US by glass08

I am picking up a C300 in March in Germany. Does anybody know if it is possible to get the European-shaped tags once I'm back in the United States? I've seen several BMWs in Texas with those plates, but I'm not sure how they are obtained.
 
I know that's the style of plate we'll have while driving in Germany, but I'm just curious if it's possible to get that style back in the US, specifically in Texas. Thanks.

No state issues Euro sized plates.
 
The ones on your car while in Europe will most likely still be attached to your car upon it's arrival in North America. Ask you dealership to leave them with you. Possibly you could get away with running one on the front but if you require both front and back plates, expect notice from the police.

robr2, that is exactly what we discovered when we took delivery of a Porsche 928 at Stuttgart1n 1979. To our delight, the car was delivered to us in California with the same beautiful black-and-white oval Gerrman plates that we used while driving in Europe!
 
We realize this information is somewhat dated; we'll update it for you later this year, after we pick up our new C350 Sport (in April)!

EDP financing possible through other banks by willy007

All,
 
Just would like to let you guys know about financing. It is possible doing it without going through MB financing.
 
- I am picking up my C300 in March 24th. So, when I placed my $2000 deposit initially at the dealer, I was supposed to pay in full by February 24.
- I finished up the auto loan paperwork through my credit union, but they cannot issue a check without VIN number.
- So, I let the EDP specialist talk to my credit union directly.
- On February 24th (the day I was supposed to pay in full), I came to the dealership and signed a paperwork, indicating that the car will be under my credit union's ownership, since I will be financing through that credit union.
- On February 29th, my car finished production and the VIN number is issued. The EDP specialist informed my credit union, and the check is issued from my credit union, sent to the dealer directly.
 
Bottomline, if you are financing outside of MB, have the EDP specialist talk to your financial institution directly. I think MBUSA have some grace period for the full payment, as long as you have the loan finalized through a financial institution by the 1-month date, with the check (from the financial institution) pending upon the VIN being issued.
 
My 2 cents.

2009 C300 Sports Availability by kengaroo

Does anyone know when Mercedes let you order the 2009 for the European delivery? I would like to take delivery toward the end of August and I was hoping it could be a 2009 model. Otherwise it would defeat the purpose of the discounted European Delivery because by the time the cars arrives in the US, the 2008 model would be on clearance sale.
