So I just started looking at the C43 Coupe and thought I'd go check them out at my nearest MB dealer (New Country Mercedes). Since the dealer is about 20 miles away I figured it would be best to contact them to see what they had in stock before taking a drive. Surprisingly I learned they currently don't have any but are scheduled to get ONE in by beginning of February. Is this normal?

My dealer, Princeton Mercedes in NJ got their first 3 around Thanksgiving. When they searched local inventory for me in the Phila area (New York to Baltimore), it seamed like most dealers had 2 or 3 C43 Coupes

Depends on forecasted demand and available supply. Also, not sure how big the dealership is but usually smaller ones are often hesitant on bringing in too many cars to sit on the lot. It does seem odd that they don't even have one though.....have you tried other dealerships a little further away?

I just started researching the car and had some free time this week so thought I'd take a quick trip to see how the car looked in person. The next closest dealer (Shrewsbury, MA) is about 40 miles away & currently has one.

I've been watching/tracking the inventory in general. Since November, it looks like 1-2 coupes have been coming in to the dealerships every 3-4 weeks and selling pretty quickly after they come in.

I had to have my sedan shipped in from Cali. Absolutely none in Utah when I purchased 3 months ago.

Thanks, I was wondering if that was the case. I guess the coupes don't move as well as the sedans, so why keep more than one or two on hand. But not to have one available for over a month is still surprising to me.

According to this thread https://mbworld.org/forums/c43-amg-c...r-release.html the C43 only started showing up in U.S. dealers the end of October. I did not realize it was still so new. Also explains limited number of end user reviews on YouTube.
