I was quoted 8 - 12 months when I ordered mine in July of last year. However, a similar came into the dealership in September.<p>I understand there is anywhere from a 12 - 16 month quote, but considering the dot-com bust in the bay area, if you keep your options open, you could get one from a cancellation.<p>For fully loaded, depending upon the packages you select, count on anywhere from 66,000 - 70,000. I don't know of anyone that has been able to negotiate down from MSRP, given the demand.<p>If you haven't already, check out the Mercedes Benz site, and build your own with a price quote.<p><p>
