MB-USA actual manufacture time vs estimate
For those few fortunate to have ordered and received their C, how close was the manufacture time/delivery versus their estimate? This poll obviously doesn't apply to those who got one off the lot or dealer traded. I hear of delays out of SA, and well, everywhere.

When you mean placed now, what production date are you referring to? I ask because I put an order for a car in August, with a production date of Oct 20th. Like when did the freeze start?

I was at the dealer on Sat, so Oct 25. Anything placed at that time or going forward would be a late Feb/March delivery date at least. Would be great if someone could confirm this.

I just got a call from my sales rep, my order will be delayed by 1 month. 
Model: C300 4Matic
Order Date: October 10th, 2014
Original Est. Production Date: First Decade of December
Latest Est. Production Date: First Decade of January
The reason for the delay according to my rep is not having parts for OHD.

C300
Built
Ordered C300 mid Aug.
Initial build was first 10 days in Nov.
Later changed to Nov 15.
Got call from my sales guy this AM and the car is done.
Hope to have delivery by end of next week.
I am in Atlanta GA so factory is not that far away.

Congrats! That's pretty close to on time. Just curious, when did they narrow down from the build decade of first 10 days in November and give you notice of your actual build date?

I ordered the 1st week in August...I was given a 1 Oct build date at time of order. My salesman said delivery should be 1st or 2nd week of November...I took delivery 12 Nov....

My colleague, who's not into or on the forum, ordered 2 weeks ago, had estimated build timeframe of second decade January, and "official" build date he just got was 1/26. He was told by dealer they seldom vary from this date, once given. Unsure if that's true. Looking at this short poll, seems a week behind the estimated build decade for the build is where the Vance plant has been trending.
