| RE: US waiting lists
I have found that the sales experience varies from dealer to dealer and from salesperson to salesperson in the same MB dealership. My current salesman is fairly cooperative. I started out 2nd on the waiting list, and when the first customer bought a BMW instead I was advised that I moved up to the first slot. My Netstar record was created on 21-Apr-2004 and I received a copy of it in the mail. Of course, this turned out to not have much value since Ohio dealers are way down the list when it came to the first wave of allocations for cars bound for the US.
In a few days (11-Aug) I expect to get a full report (except pricing) on the status of my order and a good estimate of the delivery date for a Launch Edition which currently stands at 10-Sep. The second round of dealer allocations is supposed to occur on 11-Aug.
