Next we'll see a full tank of gas option for $200! J/k...makes sense to me since this was the only option that came out of the dealers pocket as far as I know.

You already pay for that in the delivery charge.

European delivery is not free in Europe. €1300 to collect in Leipzig...

ED is no charge to the U.S. customer. Nothing has changed. Just an error in the configurator.

For Europeans, they do pay to pick up at the factories. That is true.

In the US, dealer just passes the charge on to the customer, sop not free either.

Since this charge has been making the rounds on RL please provide proof of your statement.

I was not charged by the stealer for ED last time. Please explain your statement. GT cars very rarely get discounted from MSRP unless you live you know where where negative equity will be added; i.e ADM.

European Delivery Program

Meet your new Mercedes-Benz at the place where it was born.

When you visit the factory to pick up your vehicle and see the museum, your experiences become part of the Mercedes-Benz story. The Mercedes-Benz story is one of invention, innovation, and engineering leadership second to no other manufacturer. The first automobile was designed and manufactured in 1886 by Karl Benz. Mercedes-Benz lays claim to over 100,000 patents and we continue today as the premier leader in development of new advanced automotive technology.

Whether you're winding your way through snow-capped villages, or venturing into the majestic countryside, there's no better place to immerse yourself in the Mercedes-Benz experience. That´s why we created the European Delivery Program.

With European Delivery, you'll not only enjoy "The best or nothing" against the backdrop of Germany, you can also save up to 7% on your vehicle's MSRP*, depending on the model (discounts vary, not all models are included, and not all models are available).

> Select and Build Your European Delivery Vehicle
Right now the Sclass and AMG GT seem to be excluded, but other AMG's are available for the ED program.


What's Included

Your European Delivery experience includes accommodations in one of our luxurious hotels in Stuttgart or Bremen. Upon arrival in Germany, you'll enjoy a factory tour where you'll pick up your vehicle for the very first time.

With a full tank of gas and fifteen days of European road insurance, your road trip will truly begin. At the end, simply leave your Mercedes-Benz at any one of the designated drop-off points, and you´ll be reunited on the other side of the Atlantic.


Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC offers an all-inclusive program:

•Up to 7% savings on the total MSRP for eligible models
•Delta air line voucher of $200
• One night accommodation in one of two luxurious hotels in Stuttgart or Bremen
• Breakfast or lunch at the Delivery Center restaurant
•Taxi credit for ride from airport or main railroad station to the Delivery Center or hotel
•15 days European Road Insurance with zero deductible
•Tickets to the Mercedes Museum
•A tour of the Mercedes-Benz factory
•Full tank of fuel
•Conveyance from eleven European Drop-off Points to port of shipment
•Ocean freight to a U.S. port
•Marine Insurance
•Vehicle Preparation Center Processing to factory standards
•Transportation to the selling/delivering dealer
•Destination charge of $925 is waived

Mine also did not charge for ED (ultimately I had to pass due to timing issues).

You shouldn't make uneducated statements. Many do not charge.

I won't blow his cover, but that's my old GT3 in the profile pic- at least until it's sold! He's a straight shooter.

Let's leave it this way, he is in a position to know the facts- unequivocally.

Hmm, uneducated, I think not. Ok maybe I got screwed when I checked around and did ED. But again this was 2013.

Yes. Was told 5% discount for my E63 Wagon. They don't like it but MBUSA makes it pretty easy. Wish Porsche did it like this. Curious to see if GTR winds up being eligible next year.
