I believe you track by the name of the boat. I am sure they are together, my car was finished being built on Feb 11, so it would make sense! I still got a 2 week train ride after the atlantic crossing but with Vancouvers very odd east coast like winter, its still snowing here as I write this... so I am not in a rush

C63S Estate

Ordered my C63s estate in December 2016.

Estimated build currently May 2017.

Arrival into Melbourne after 6 weeks on the boat - July 2017.

The wait is already dragging on, how am I supposed to hang out till July?

kck77

Thats a long wait; I though the coupes 4 months was long, although I'm in the last one month stretch and it has gone by really quickly

I got my car last night .. wow ... super excited, only got to drive for less than an hour ...
just a summary:

Ordered end of Nov
Car went into production Jan 10th
Got an email that its on boat on Feb 2nd
Original delivery date was Feb 26th and I got it with a day delay on Feb 28th ...

super happy!!!

powerrrrr

I think I posted up there somewhere, but mine was ordered mid December, I was updated at the start of last week that the car was in a railcar coming through Georgia, so I'm guessing I'll have it slightly ahead of my original delivery date of March 27.

My C63S coupe is on the M/V TOSCA .. currently nearing the Port Gothenburg, from Bremerhaven. Due in Port of Halifax March 13. Most likely your '43 is on the same boat. Track it at Marinetraffic.com, use the boats name. Not long now

That's so cool - thanks kck77!
I'm a c63s as well by the way...iridium silver, premium, night pkg, black forged rims, 360 cam, cf interior.
Here's to their safe travels!

kck77

Oh shoot! I kinda rethought that after I posted... got you mixed up with a few other East coasters who have C43s! We are definitely on the same boat then... Nice spec.... I went back and fourth from Iridium silver and Magno Selenite for a month; went with the Magno only because my Vette is silver and wanted a little bit of a change. I have the premium, night pack, black forged wheels, 360 cam as well, with the open pour dark ash interior, and the performance seats .. hey do you have the code " U34 - Headphones, two " on your final build sheet your SA sent you as well? My dealer has no idea what it is.

Vagabondo

Oops, I also have the performance seats. Man, I begged for them to get me the diamond stitch ed1 ones but no luck.
I was *this* close to going with magno silver. I'm actually still debating whether to get xpel stealth once it gets here for the matte look. Still not sure.
And yes! I have the u34 headphones on the build sheet and it's been driving me nuts. No idea what that is. I was guessing maybe headphone jacks but doesn't really make sense.

kck77

I would of pulled the trigger on the Magno Silver right away if it was an available option; was told as a special order, could take forever. Ya I was thinking headphone jacks as well, but it really doesn't make any sense. Maybe headphones, two.... means usb? I believe the car has two of those

Got my car on Monday, took 3 months and 10 days so roughly 100 days from order date to arrival (Toronto, Canada) .. worth waiting every second .. hope you all get yours very soon ...

YoungLane

Talked to my SA today and I ordered it in early November, have a feeling he delayed "submitting" the order, but whatevs. It's currently on the Ruby Ace which is still sitting in the port in Belgium. Expected Stateside arrival of March 14th. SA said it's usually 4-5days after the boat arrives that they'll have it. Add on time to tint/swap wheels, etc...I'm guessing I'll take delivery some time the last week of March.

Hurry up and wait

See63esS

Mine was built on 2/16
Boarded the "Ruby Ace" on 2/28
Expected in San Pedro, Ca on 4/1

My birthday is 4/8. It sure would be a sweet birthday present.

DuncWatts

Just had confirmation that my car has now been built and is now "having its AMG treatment in the factory". No idea what that entails but should be picking it up the week of the 27th, just in time before the car tax rules change on the 1st April, phew...

My C43W4 is scheduled for 04/13 currently, eagerly awaiting when the *actual* production date will lock in at the plant in Vance. Ordered at the end of January, so I'll gladly take the 04/13 build. For my '15 C300W build the *estimated* build date was later than the *actual* build, so I'm anticipating the same situation here.

CANNOT wait. This thing is gonna be slick

Put a deposit on our C43 cabriolet on Saturday (June 10th 2017). Because of this being the last of the 2017's, we took a car that was already in production which luckily checked all the boxes except for the ventilated seats. We're expecting mid July delivery. I give credit to those who have waited so long for theirs as one day already feels like a lifetime.

On a side note, I feel bad for our 2016 C300 4Matic because it's pretty much chopped liver to us now.
