Australian C43 orders?
Hi All - ordered a C43 coupe recently, and hoping for a November delivery. Was wondering if there is anyone else from Australia here that has an order in and when you are expecting delivery?

Hi Declan, yes I'm in Brisbane. Ordered my C43 coupe in June, was built August 4 (a week earlier than scheduled), on ship August 14, now tracking ship on the way to Brisbane, due to land on September 24! It will then be a 10 to 14 day wait from ship to dealer to me.
What colours did you choose? Selenite grey with saddle brown here.

Hi StixPix - oh great, you won't have too long too wait then! I got my oder in at the end of May, but then decided to wait for a later build to get the HUD included (I was told the May one I had grabbed had to ship without). I also got Selenite Grey, and decided to go for the package which added sports seats, exhaust, and the upgraded steering wheel (as unfortunately those weren't available seperately to me) and also the carbon fibre dash inserts.
It feels like a long wait!

I used https://www.2wglobal.com/ to find out the ship details (you go to Track and Trace and then enter the VIN in the Cargo ID field), and now using http://marinetraffic.com to track the ship.
Enjoy!

Buying C43 AMG Coupe
Guys, any insight if it is possible to buy a car from Canada while living in the US? Taxes? Duty? Warranty? How that works?

Now I'm worried, had the 241 leather on my build (black with red stitching) and the climate controlled seats. Which the configurator says I can't do... Now I'm worried, are they switching my leather selection or leaving out the climate controlled seats on my build. As both were on the build sheet. Really want the climate controlled seats so hopefully they don't just scrap that!

Well just heard back from my sales person, he says it's being built with the 241 and cooled... so we'll see who's right at delivery!
On a positive note he said it is in production as we speak. So that's 10 days ahead of schedule as it was scheduled for Sept 10-19th! So hopefully that means delivery before the Oct 26th estimated date!

ALL C43s in the US had been delayed until late December - as told an hour ago by my dealer. They told me it would release soon just two days ago.
Finger crossed.

Ya I'd like to hear it from another source for sure, as I've found dealers and salesmen don't seem to know a damn thing on what's actually happening. Or maybe just the ones I deal with lol

No way December !! I hope you are wrong .
My dealer in Canada told me first delivery for c43 should be in October , I ordered mine 10 days ago and expected delivery is in December due to the diamond white colour .
