Nope, he was just wrong. Period. Doesn't matter about other models, he stated the Viper was made in Canada and that is just plain wrong. He should have researched it more before trying to tell someone else they were wrong.

What you are overlooking is that MAYBE, JUST MAYBE you were being "Jonesed" all along

So, in the future instead of running off with your hair on fire trying to prove people wrong you just might pause for a second and think.....

Aww they're just messing with me


In the mean time

Germancar1

Please. You guys are too clueless in general about Mercedes, much less other brands to ever mess with someone about the facts.

My GTR is built and ready, waiting on shipping
looking like Oct 15th - Oct 20th delivery date!

Hi guys...I don't post a lot but hopefully this are good news...
This pics were taken today in Brunswick VPC.... I know the car is a driving academy car but something interesting was told to me by the same person who took the pics and that he saw bunch of GTRs being moved and and rearranged within the lot along with bunch of E63s ......

I immediately Called my SA at my dealership and he checked the computer while being with me in the phone line and he told me that today (9/21/17) the status changed to "purchase price completed/updated". He said this is the first change he sees since the last update 5 months ago.

I really want to believe we are getting closer to the delivery of our cars. Mine (GTR), like many of yours, have been sitting in Brunswick since April.

See if your dealer can give you the Production Status Code for your car.

If your info is correct, it should be;

D4 READY TO DELIVER or,

D5 RELEASED TO CARRIER

Next week is the end of the quarter so, hopefully MB/AMG will make their “late 3rd quarter” Target Date.

Are you still listening to that bird

Has anybody decided to bail on their car and do something else?

RobbieRob

I see more people bailing on their E63's more than the GTR's.

JSwan724

I think both E63S and GTR owners in waiting will ride this week out to see if MB/AMG makes the “late 3rd quarter” comittment.

A big issue will be seeing the cars first hand and assessing whether they are in factory new condition as they would have come from the factory.

It’s going to be a very interesting week for sure!!

Had my sales guy check their incoming GT R and there was no Ready to Deliver/Released to Carrier status but there was a PO update a few days prior. The last update on that car was back in June when it first arrived at the VPC.

If more people do ditch their orders, will the absurd markup by dealers come down? Some dealers are trying to sell them for $30K over sticker. But if there are a bunch sitting on the lot because folks got tired of waiting...

guynamedsean

good points guys!

you haven't really bought a car until you hand over a check and or sign finance papers AND officially take delivery so it makes sense to just wait it out and see.

Prices may not drop right away. I don't think everyone follows these boards as closely as we de, or do they?

RobbieRob

Lets just say I'm being optimistic thinking that I will come across a GTR that the person bailed on it since I couldn't get an allocation from my dealer. I just built this garage and bay 1 would look nice with the GTR and my new .2 GT3 coming in January, parked on top of one another on the lift.

soulsea

As per my first post in this thread, I slid into the allocation of a car that was ordered almost a year ago, that the original purchaser bailed on ... that was two months ago.

JSwan724

Your guy is jerking you around or doesn’t know anything about the MB Online Ordering System.


IF your car is/has been at the MB/VPC the code is/was;

D1 VPC RECEIVED

D2 SURVEYED AT VPC

D3 POTENTIAL DELAY


If the whispers regarding the recent movement of our cars is really happening then the codes will move to

D4 or D5 status and then they are ready for the carrier to pick it up.

FWIW: Your dealer gets online updates when status changes occur.

Robbie:

I might trade you for your .2 GT3 if you give me $50k

AMG 17GT

Nice!

shakasean

Def no D4/D5 on the car.

FourT6and2

Not sure where you are, but here in CA there are lots of dealers with GTRs that are available because people bailed or they are dealer orders that nobody's bought yet. I know MB or Monterey has one, Oakland has one, and a few down in the LA area. I didn't go for those because I wanted to spec my own.

UrBusted

Thought some of you waiting for your cars may be pleased to see the cars power figures were "understated" as usual : Factory Claim :
577hp

Stock Figures:
532WHP (627 BHP)
486 w/tq (573 ft/lb)

9/26— As of this afternoon, the GTR is still in D1 status.

So, No “Late 3rd Quarter” delivery either!! (5th delivery date revision)

The guess is Mid to late October for now......

hayeski88

Received an update from my dealer today:
My GTR is sitting in the Halifax VPC and the status is still D1.
Dealer ETA is showing Oct 16. Last week it was Oct 5th...

AHI

I think this is where im sitting as well

what city are you in?

FourT6and2

I got a call from a CA dealer today and they told me they have a GTR available for sale and it has been released from VPC and will arrive by the end of the week.
