So with the car existing now - built at Rastatt like all B-classes - it may get onto a ship at Bremerhaven on the 20th. If it does, that ship would arrive in Halifax NS at the beginning of October....from there it goes across the continent by train, about a 10 day journey.
The serial number on my car is 301566 (the last 6 digits of the VIN), and the first B-Class had a serial number of 000001. So your serial number tells you what "number in the series" that your car is! My smart for example, was the 175000th second generation car (second generation beginning in 2003, mine was built at the end of 2004).
Mercedes-Benz announced in the early summer that the 250,000th B had been built, well now it's some ways over 301,566!
I am looking forward to the car with baited breath, and finding some undocumented features like Dyno mode etc.....
This is only my second new car in 30 years of driving. The smart was my first.
I am new to this forum.....I looked around for all type of SUVs and mini van , I just place an order for a B200 Turbo with premium package , the sales rep I got wasn't that great but I would rate him being ok. I signed the lease ( offer to lease) last Sat and he still hasn't called me back when the car is arriving , all he said at that point was that it is in the 'R' stage with VIN # , meaning that it has arrived Halifax and should be on the train coming soon.....I could have called but I figure being a customer, he should call me before I do....
Anyways, enjoy reading all the posts on here and lots of great information here ..thanks .!! ..
