I am 32 and most of the people I know that order this vehicle are in the +/- range. 50 plus would go for the 650 Maybach

What's the guess on that step bar height maybe 20-24" off the ground?

The Total Number right now is less than 200, however I don't think I am allowed to give the exact number
NYC, anything new from what you can tell on the allocation front? Thanks!

Whats your situation with your order on the 4x4? Did you pay a deposit but no confirmation from your dealer?

North Olmstead was just awarded their Second Slot!!!

Hope it is yours, 127 Electric Beam.

Production Slated for April.

The first 8 for the USA have just been loaded onto boats today!

My first order is on a boat, and is scheduled to arrive the 7th of Jan.

I would have to assume Delivery will be before end of January for the 1st 4X4's, however let's wait and see when we get Certification from the DOT.

awesome. One of those on your list is mine. Dealer told me that it may be February before they are released. Said Mercedes USA still hasn't officially launched the vehicle le yet. Also they estimated it would arrive to USA mid January. If they got put on a boat today how would it get to USA in 7 days?

10 Days generally.

Boat ETA is the 6th of Jan, so plenty of time to get the DOT Certification before end of month I think.

NYC, can you check to see if this allocation was switched to polar white by chance?

Nope, it was switched to Mauritius Blue.

They only have two right now, one is Electric Beam, the other Mauritius Blue.

Thank you, it is very obvious at this point they are not going to honor my deposit and have been lying and giving me lip service for what is now 7 months.

I can't recommend enough that any person looking to buy from a Bernie Moreno dealership stay far far away. This whole experience has been a complete and utter joke.

I've been in constant contact with them, last communications were December 13th and 14th when they asked me to spec a color, which was a day before you posted they recieved their second allocation. I even have gotten Mercedes N.A. involved a few months ago. I think they are just going to refuse to deal with me because I went to Mercedes N.A. and let them know of the situation.

I have no idea, but I sent them an email of my awareness of their second allocation but not that I know it's not my color I want to see what they say.
