Don't plan on getting the R171. Waiting lists are useless, I got bumped on the E55 list probably by a real high roller. Fucking dealerships.

How can they bump you off your spot? Then the waiting list is completely pointless. I would complain to MB Canada if I were you.

Well I'm not off the spot, but I'm #2 now. Funny how they didn't mention I was #2 until after the 1st allocation order was locked in. I was told I was first for the last year. Apparantly, some salesperson had an order in before mine but they didn't tell me at all. They didn't mention this to me at all, I called and checked to see the status of the E55 (I call and check monthly) and was told at that time someone had an order that was dated before me all of a sudden, and it's too late to do anything about it.

Since the lease is coming up on the SLK 320, I have to get something before it runs out, or I'd be short a car. Unless a miracle happens, I'll probably be getting either an M3 SMG or a C32. Lucky for me, my dad has a C32 spot at Hyatt. Bye bye E55

Is the C32 enough power for you Rage? I thought it was the same motor/charger as the SLK32?

What about slapping a supercharger onto the M3?

[rage2]

I don't even know if the E55 is enough power for me! Oh well, my E55 plans are messed anyways, so who knows. C32 won't have enough power at all (same motor as SLK 32 but weighs like 500lbs more). C32 is cheap tho, fully optioned out it's a few grand cheaper than my SLK 320. Not bad for a cruiser I guess, but it's no E55.

That sucks man. I always thought service was pretty good at that dealership. I guess not anymore. It looks like they still only plan on getting like 1 or 2 E55's a year.

So are you going to use your E55 spot? If not you wanna give it to me?

[rage2]

We'll see... like I said, hoping for a Miracle hehe. They tell me they might be able to get a 2nd allocation right away, I personally don't believe it till I see it, but who knows.
