My wife's car was built on 08/18. Last I heard from dealer is that it still sits at VPC awaiting federal certification. Getting frustrated...

Here it is September 2nd, and the Mercedes build site still reflects the C450 AMG instead of the C43...

Just checked with my dealer. The leasing rates are not out yet. No ETA of my car sitting at the port. But it should be end of next week for delivery. So expect they will release very soon!

Not in Canada Our site has the C43 for the sedan (been a couple weeks) and the coupe (as of yesterday)


But ya I'd be getting a little frustrated if mine was sitting waiting for certification!

That seems really odd considering they are on multiple different countries websites already. But if that's the case I'd be pretty pissed

They said they talked to the distribution center.

I am NOT joking.

Just two days ago, my dealer told me it would be released soon and it would be delivered in a week or two (my car is at the port now).

No insights on why they pushed it back though.

I recall someone mentioned the C450 (changed from C400) was released during summer time. It's should be similar from C450 to C43 I think.

Uhh, pray.

Check with your dealer first and see what they say.

I will not cancel the order but may put in a new order instead. I want a car with a later build date - a more updated car.

i'd guess they have to recertify the entire power train.

and since its a 9g with a v6 with a new all wheel drive system, the EPA numbers have to be redone. EPA cert rules changed slightly for 2017 model year too. http://www.autoblog.com/2016/06/20/e...p-2017-models/

Well as much as it would suck for you guys, I hope it's really just a MBUSA issue not everywhere... Which seems more likely as there are already people getting their cars else where.

I don't understand why they are taking so long to update there website still either? Are they waiting to sell all the c450 first so they don't have to discount them as much when the new model comes out? I just don't understand there thinking on this one, if it's not the epa holdup them marketing should let them release the damn thing soon especially if a bunch of them are just sitting at the port waiting and getting covered in bird crap and all sun bleached and scratched..?

my sales guy, has either completely messed up and not put my order in or i'm at the end of a very long queue of people buying C43s (i just cant imagine this being true).

does anyone know approximately how long it would take for a car ordered today , to arrive in california (for a sedan). i cant imagine this taking more than 2 months right?
