My dealer was not happy when I ordered stock 19s (going aftermarket wheels) so I had to give in when he did not want me to order with the base stereo. For $1,300 it's really not that bad.
I am ordering the aero front pieces separate and they will install upon delivery. Cost is about $1,000.
The upgraded interior was about $6K.
Looking at the difference between GT and GTS, you can add the options to get to a GTS (other than red calipers and race mode) for about $6K which I did. It's a no brainer compared to the $20K difference in base price.
With a tune and downpipes, it will close in power to the GT-R

Great build and curious what type of discounts have you gotten from MSRP?

AMG 17GT

Great deal Emeric. We held out and waited for good reason sir. 2017 GT is such a great value.

I think the GTR will supplant the GTS in 2018 as such.

emericr

Let's just say my dealer was extremely eager to sell me his last spot left open for this year. I am extremely happy with the discount he gave me and I drive a hard bargain .

jrcart

Are they delivering 2017's yet?

Richard Partlow Dordan

AMG 17GT

July and August builds.

Delivering in August and September

AMG 17GT

Ok. I received a final MSRP. Again, a great value play.

See below:



And yes, I ordered Burmester as it is my understanding that the additional power in the amp Will make it easier to upgrade and the enclosures in the door panels are larger allowing better components as well.

Jim Brady

Mine is scheduled to be built 6-23-16 and it will be a 2017. I expect a late July delivery.
What is a reasonable discount before I have to walk out. I ordered Ceramic brakes, Dynamic Plus, black mesh wheels, lane tracking package. I'm going to track the car so not looking for a bunch of non go fast options.

AMG 17GT

That's great Jim. I do hope to move up in production. When did you place order and then get that build date?

I'm assuming you just placed a deposit, but I would say you have to be somewhere north of 5%.

Patience is indeed a virtue. I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

AMG 17GT

Finally went to "B3" status. Hopefully I can get built in July.

Have any of you seen this recall on June 2015 GTS builds?

My production date is 09/04 and my dealer tells me today my status is B-3 and he cannot make a change on my order sheet.
I am puzzled as B0 is 19 days before production.
Is the dealer pulling a fast one on me?

AMG 17GT

No I don't think so. My B0 over 30 days. I believe It means that assembly line has kicked on, and maybe we can move into production faster.

emericr

Looks like I am going to have to live with CF sills lol.
Life is rough

emericr

Status is P4 and my car has a VIN#. It's virtually alive lol.
What's your status? You must be getting really close and excited.

AMG 17GT

You mean B4? That's great if so. I just emailed my guy, cannot believe another Friday or week is going by.

Yes it's killing me!! I found myself in Butler wheel tire today like a little kid ....

AMG 17GT

Well it looks like your past me now. I have no VIN.

My 63 blew up again yesterday and is in the shop with all kinds of ABC/ESP lights going on thank God I have a warranty or I really would've been pissed. Anyway, my service advisor told me that she went to the factory on her 20th anniversary in June and was watching the GT production. She said there were about 100 GT's being assembled and that they were falling behind on the 2017 Models.

emericr

No I mean P4 which I assume is pre-production code as my production date is supposed to be 09/24. If I have a VIN you clearly should have one cause your is in production.
Sorry to hear about your 63? Which model?

AMG 17GT

My guy is telling me no VIN until C status, despite being in production. I don't know. Again, he was very clear that production date means little. It's all about being P1 status. This is what he sent



It's a CL63. At least I have loaner for weekend.

Wrong pic. Anyway no VIN.

emericr

We are getting some serious conflicting information lol.
I know my salesguy very well and I am awaiting the code definition. He had advised that the list I sent him (which is the one you just posted) is not the correct one for the GTs.
Your sales guy should be able to show you on his computer your car with an exact production date. If he is not, then he does not have an allocation.

AMG 17GT

This is what he sent. Unfortunately the screenshot has all my personal information but it does say production date August 3

emericr

Went to dealer. Status is B-4 (not P4) which is described as X-2 Prod.
This is after status Z63 which is getting a VIN#
Computer still showed Estimated production date of 09/06/16.
Comparing your screenshot to mine, next for you is B40 and Z63.
Somehow it appears I am slightly ahead of you but my production date is still a month after yours.

AMG 17GT

That's awesome. B4 sounds more specific than most of it. Your car hopefully finished this week ! Congrats. Next will be the transport BS lol.

emericr

Excuse my question but I am really confused. How can a car be 2 days to completion when the Est prod date in computer is 09/06/16 which is 45 days from now?
Maybe I understand incorrectly and the "est prod date" is the date that the car is finally complete (B5) and it Aftlerbach about 45 days to do final testing and it sits somewhere waiting to be picked up to be taken to the port.

AHI

Do you mind posting a picture of your trunk? Would like to see how much space it's taken up.
