Was there any change in sticker price from the same configuration in 07? Did you see an options list or get any indications of the "actual" changes from 07 to 08?

The option choices were the same. To be honest I did not ask to verify the MY changes as I was certain I wanted a 08. The price list is not announced yet. My deal is based on a function of the new invoice price for 08.

I contacted two dealers and both were willing to order me a 08 from their first allocations. I was also offered an 07 at attractive pricing, but I wanted a 08.

Thanks guys! I'd be happy if they did what was in the updates threads. Honestly I'd be happy if they put a concerted effort to fix the rattles.

I asked the dealer if I could get any credit to swap out the runflat tires before delivery or for swapping out the rims and tires. Did anyone try this?

Anyone looking for a 07, should be able to pick one close to invoice. There are deals to be had.

I'm sure the dealership would work something out with you for the tires.

SLK_DDS, don't do it!!!

Well, I was informed that my order went out with the dealer's allocation on July 20. Hopefully not too much longer

SLK_DDS... how much would that cost? I have a pretty much brand new 07 GS and if it doesnt cost anything I'd swap it for an 07.. but I doubt thats the case

^ you'll take a big hit in depreciation of your '07, absolutely makes no sense. I think you can only justify this kind of a trade in if you want to get into '08 GS460.
