I got a quick question for you glee88, why did you pick the dealer at Airport express, and how is the dealership?
The reason why I chose this dealer is becuase they knew the most about the car when I was enquiring (back in Feb).....and I went all over the shop...chatswood, mosman, paramatta, zetland, warrick farm....just to name a few ...our family have purchased all of our cars from the Chatswood dealer (12 in total over the years) and when I went there, the guy's now left (after x numer of years there)....anyway, none of the other sales guys were 1/2 as competent as the guy we used to deal with so thought would try other places....and straight off the bat, the idiot told me that he wouldn't be able to offer any discounts becuase it was a new model....total fool!...anyway, the dealer at Airport Express was very knowledgable of the car....as at that time, there was really no information available...finally, he was able to allow me to place an order and he said that he's so confident that I'll love the car that he'll be able to refund the whole deposit if I'm not satisfied with it once it arrives to my specifications....that is what sealed the deal for me....none of the other dealers were able offer that for me....He said that becuase Airport Express was actually Mercedes (as opposed to just a licenced dealer), they were able to do this.....the only thing that this dealer can't tell me (and no one else can aswell) is when the car will arrive in Aust....really looking forward to driving this bad boy.

the dealership is very relaxed environment...people are very courteous and really take time to explan things to you...like many other dealers, they offer you tea/coffee/biscuits as soon as you step foot in the door, but the additional level of service, I felt was quite comforting.....the guy insisted I take around an S500 to let me know how the Command system would look/feel on the W204...teh sat nav technology in particular

...it's a small dealership as you can see, and so really not many other cars on display....

Hope this helps,
Michael
