We are picking up my wife a new car tomorrow (will be selling her well used GLC300 here in the near future).

I spent all week searching in-stock cars here in Texas (sticking to in-state cars due to our stupid Lemon Law requirements, i.e. can't Lemon Law a car purchased out of state).

Took me hours and hours but I found ONE that matched our requirements exactly: Manhattan Green, Coffee, M Sport, M Sport Pro, Premium and Climate Comfort with 20" wheels.

This car was like a needle in a haystack but found one AND little to no test drive miles (which is important to us). We didn't want to order a car as that is always a PITA, at least with other brands we've dealt with.

10% off MSRP initial offer and I didn't even ask for that yet, ~$800 add-ons (negotiated $1k out), very low doc fee. Took little effort via email, I think they wanted to move the car. I was shocked as other dealers where a pain just to get a copy of the sticker via email. Based on what I've read it seems this is a pretty good deal.

To sweeten the deal is the $4K military incentive! :D

She is so excited, it's great to see. She deserves it. Now for a road trip to go pick it up tomorrow.

Congratulations to both of you. Good luck, enjoy and be safe.

Made it back home, rain storms and all. That makes 3 new cars we've purchased over the years where we pull out of the showroom and it is raining. :rolleyes:

Beautiful car and she looks good next to white! :D

Congrats on the new toy. What is the blue tape on the floor for?

Lining up the cars while pulling into the garage.

I use my rear camera for that. Enjoy your toy.

We use those for setting up proper left/right alignment. We have them at the front too. The Corvette is quite wide especially with doors open so I pull it in at an angle so I don’t ding the wife’s new car. 👍🏻
