Sunburst/Alpaca. Dealer said MB refused - but I wonder if my dealer just told me that as they seem to be on the lazy side...Some guys have gotten special request combos like Firemist and Alpaca -<br>
so what do you think the real possibilities are for exterior and interior colors?
Here's how I _think_ it works.<br>
<br>
In Germany, every color combination is listed as "recommended," "available," or "not recommended." The colors combinations shown in the US brochures are the same the "recommended" combinations in Germany. I believe that Americans can also order any combination that is listed as "available" in Germany for no extra charge (unless it's a special order paint, leather, or trim), bit anything listed as "not recommended" will be refused.<br>
<br>
Maybe you can find out from one of our German friends how Yellowstone/Alpaca is listed in the German brochure.
There are several people on this forum that have color combos that were not listed in the brochures at the time of ordering. For example, silver/oyster, sunburst/oyster, white/oyster, bahama/navy, magma/salsa. Those combos weren't in the brochure until '00, but I saw several '98s and '99s with those colors (mine included).<br>
<br>
I ordered my SLK32 with Firemist/Alpaca, which is not in the order guide. The computer accepted it. It may or may not be in the brochure since I haven't seen the brochure, yet.
..the goldenrod color may be closer to the actual golden yellow color of the canyon walls along the Yellowstone River in Yellowstone National Park. At least that's the way it looks on the MBUSA web site. Haven't ever seen a real goldenrod SLK.
My dealer wouldn't let me get Alabaster White/Alpaca, but ...
after I insisted that this color option was available, my dealer entered it into the computer and several days later he called me saying that the MB system accepted the order.<br>
<br>
Only way to see what combos are available I guess would be to get your dealer to enter in order, and if its refused, then choose another color combo. Don't trust what the dealer tells you.
oooooo that makes me mad. I'm going to the dealer tomorrow, but I know I'm to late.
