Are they "legal", I don't have an answer for you. I do know that they do not throw as much light as HIDs. I am sure that you would not incure a problem with them.
Thanks a ton! I can keep secrets real well!!
Where did you buy yours?
Thanks a lot and Congrat!
With my situation I only have one dealer in town, Austin, TX. I could have driven to San Antonio, Dallas, or Houston and probably could have received my car quicker, but at the time I was in no hurry to get it. Now, I am just praying that my current car holds up until my car comes in.
I am trying to look at the positive though. Hopefully some of the problems mentioned on this board will be figured out by the time my car is built. I am buying this car, not leasing, so the wait is allowing me to sock even more money away for a bigger down payment. So, I am trying to be patient knowing that the reward will be worth the wait.
Happy waiting!!! It will be worth it I'm sure.

For kimj1, I ordered mine on 15 NOV and received on FEB 1. Better make sure they actually ordered then and didn't do a lot of stateside shopping first! Might get you some leverage for some free toys.
Also, had an interesting fault the other evening. Left the radio on but engine off when I went into a restaurant to pick up a to-go. (had friend in car) Cranked the ingition without returning key to off position first and car started fine. As I'm scooting down the highway I noted all of my guages were flat; tach, speedo, fuel, everything. No other problems though. Pulled over, recycled the ignition and all was well again. Got my heart going though!

Now there is a 2000 C280 Special Edition. 8K on miles, asking 33K. Anybody with one of these Special Editions? Any thoughts? Thanks again in advance.
Good hunting . Let us know if any of you find something there!

Thx for any info
please email me with the name & phone number of the dealer discounting extended warranties. I tried to email you but your profile do not show your email address. Please go to my profile and email me.
thanks!
Try Viti, in Tiverton, RI. 800-544-5580, ask for Marsha. Superb dealership, single product store, with THE best service. They have quite a few customers in the Boston area as well as in NY. Will pickup your car and leave you with a loaner.
No such problem at Clair. My salesman even showed me the car w/ plastic wrap still on it when I went to check it out before delivery. On final delivery, it has 6mi.
My salesman was a male and He is the one I got passed at and left after about a 6 weeks of dealing with him. I didn't enjoy the "buying experience" at all. He never gave me a build date. He kept trying to get me to buy a used car or one with different options and color, because they had one available. You can get the CD for $800.00 or less there, be firm. I think when I canceled I was close to getting one. Also, you don't have to let them know if you want the extended warrenty then, you can add it later.
Wow, the Magma Red paint really showed up well in the pictures! Much more so than Orion Blue/Jasper blue. Your C will definitely not be easily mistakened for another, eh! I like how the Oyster interior complements the red.
BTW, your head restraints appear to be in the standard (lowest) position. Have you adjusted them? Ideally, the top of the head restraint should be level with the top of one's head, and as close to the back of the head as possible. This will minimise any chances of whiplash, if god forbid, you are involved in an accident. FYI, if the head restraint does not go up to the top of the your head (all MB ones do, but in other vehicles they may not), the top should at least be level with the top of your ears.

In addition, if the seat is moved back by valet or car wash people (car wash uses cloth, not brushes , pressing the single memory button does not return seat setting to where it was originally. Intermittently when setting seat manually, it has different ranges of movement -- sometimes it will go forward as far as I need it to, and other times it will not. There have been numerous incidents when the seat memory has been very erratic.
Dealer told me everything is workable if I disable the exit mode.
Has anyone in this news group had problems with their seat memory or had to disable their exit mode? Am I expecting or hoping for something not possible in the replacement car? One reason I am happy to have another car is because the exterior was delivered in very bad shape. The chips and scratches have been fixed, but there is a bad hollow place in the door that can only be remedied by painting the door. Dealer will do this, but does not recommend -- but it sure bothers me because it is where I see it every time I enter the car.
My thanks.

It was built last week! Yea! I live in the Portland, Oregon area. How long has it taken you left-coasters to get your cars once they were built? I assume it comes on a ship through the Panama canal and to Long Beach, CA. From there to the VPC and on a truck to the Great Northwest. Is this correct? Any guesses as to lead time from here would be appreciated. I can't wait.
This will be my third MB. My first was an 83 300D-Turbo which I still drive daily (186k miles). My second was a 90 300E which I totaled last fall. This will be my first new Benz, so I am really coming out of my chair in anticipation!
TIA

I want to thank you for the contacts you sent me re: extended warranties. You saved me about $900 off of the retail price that my local MB dealer was quoting for my C320.
Thank you, again....900 times over!
Very best regards,
Leon
