Bullsh*t

what do I win for calling it bullsh*t first. Lol

FourT6and2

Call MB House of Imports, Buena Park, CA. Ask for Nina.

tony_f8

Sorry you misinterpreted I was not calling you out I was calling the dealer out and has no idea what they're talking about. While I believe they may have a car these cars are definitely not in transport

FourT6and2

I find it hard to believe as well. But that is what I was told by this saleslady, Nina. I asked her specifically if the car had been released from VPC and she said yes, 100%. I believe the people at the dealerships lie. But that's what she told me. She invited me in to have a look. But I'm not local. Regardless, $35K over sticker is utterly insane. I'd just go buy a Lambo or something for that money.

I am in Ancaster... They did send me a pic of my GTR sitting inside..

KenshinX

Just got off the phone with my SA. He checked all the dealers with GTRs at the VPC in California and Florida . all of them HAVE NOT been released from the VPC... every GTR has D1 status.
I personally don’t know who’s worst, the dealers or AMG...
What a f...!!! mess....

FourT6and2

Well then this dealer flat out lied to me. Not surprised.

I heard this from the House too--- they are an AutoNation store and my heads of state made the same such comment. I have no skin in this game cause Im not getting a GTR though.

FourT6and2

Does AutoNation have a bad reputation or something?

Vic55

Oh not at all... I have actually bought these AMG's from that exact store:

CL65
E63
SL63
GTS

FROM THE AMG PRIVATE LOUNGE FORUM LAST NIGHT 9/27


FROM: MBUSA Stuart Klein

I'm glad you asked. We have good news to share.
The GT C and GT R should be released sometime next week and the E63 S should be released sometime within the month of October.

AMG 17GT

Was going to ask you this. I had to run out and missed it. Great news.

You should start an “official” GTR US delivery and pic thread or something to that end.

JSwan724

Yea I’ll do that now. Many thanks for the idea.

I’m sure we won’t miss “some posters agitating comments” now that this is finally resolved.


Best regards

FourT6and2

So what House of Imports told me is closer to the truth than not. They said by the end of this week. But might be next week instead.

JSwan724

No they lied to you to get you in there to get your deposit money.


As I said several times before WHEN the Production Code for YOUR car (read VIN) changes in the MB online system FROM D1 TO D4 Or D5, Then you can start getting excited and rounding up your money.

HOWEVER, please remember that all the GTR, GTC AND E63S cars won’t show up in the dealers at the same time.

If you are familiar with the term FIFO First In First Out then you can guess when your car will show up There are LOTS of them (read several hundred) at all of the MB VPC’S waiting to be processed loaded and delivered.

There are GTR’S that have been sitting since late March/early May that will move first so it may be a week or two or 3 or 4 before your car is actually at the selling dealer ready for you to pickup.

I am curious to know why everybody was so excited.

it seems as if you're forgetting the recurring word in the statement "should be released sometime next week and the E63 S should"

the key here is SHOULD

JSwan724

...The check is in the mail........

guynamedsean

is FIFO "first in, $&@# off"?

JSwan724

soulsea

Did anyone think to ask under what conditions they have been stored in Brunswick?
