Replying to: mike02 (Feb 16, 2008 6:09 pm) 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 |

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. |

Replying to: glass08 (Mar 01, 2008 4:35 pm) 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.

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. ------ Will |

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.

Replying to: kengaroo (Mar 06, 2008 7:55 pm) looks the same as the 2008 model but will have now memory for the seats. My new car will have Package Premium I & II, Multimedia and iPod Integration Kit. It seems that, so far, the GPS that comes with the car can'nt work while driving trough Europe. The GPS hard disk comes only with the software to work in the US. I plan to take a portable Magellan with the European software to gide me along the european roads during my three months vacation, before return the car to the drop off local in Madrid. This is the 5th MB car that I pick up in Suttgart. If I have more news about the new model I will let you know. Lusatenas |

Replying to: lusatenas (Apr 01, 2008 6:57 am) Does MB dealers put any mark ups on European Delivery (ED) vehicles? I read that it is normal for BMW dealers to charge between $1,000 - $1,500 for ED vehicles as their profit. Also are there any standrad fees that MB charges when you purchase a vehicle either from the dealer or ED? Such as advertising and training fee like the BMW. I have never purchased a MB before and I want to know ahead of time what kind of fees are assoicated with the vehicle before I start the negotiating. Thanks, |
