Delivery Times?

Hi All,

Does anyone know how long it takes get the car from the factory in South Africa to the dealers in the UK once it built?

My car was built and put on the ship and left on the 23/2/15 with a ETA of 25/3/15 to the dealers. Seem quite long delivery times to me.

W205 C200 Sport Premium Plus. October 2018. 1497cc with 48 volt battery eq
Can be a couple of weeks before ETA dealers but depends on unknown factors

Given up on a S205 and ordered a S212
I left 10% deposit two months back, and MB still cannot process the actual order, lest give a build time!

Factory order i was quoted was if 5 months waiting. But i was lucky enough to find a car that was the right spec and colour that the dealer already had on order.

I wouldn't complain about delivery time. I ordered my 2013 C (East London build) in February of 2013. It didn't come into the (US) dealership until June of 2013.

Wow 5 mths!

I just did a factory order on Feb 5 & was given a delivery date of May 15.

And I thought that was a LONG wait.

Hate this game : )

The AMG line is selling quite well in the uk. As dealers don't have enough stock.

That's a long wait, but it will be worth it in the end!
