2019 AMG C43 Sedan
Do you think they ship according to when the vehicle was ordered? It would only seem fair that someone that ordered in May would get their car sooner than someone that ordered in Sept.

It would seem logical, but I'm not sure the factory or the VPC have the data about the order date. Technically, dealers get allocations or production slots that they get to customize for a buyer. They assign the allocation they have to a customer, but I don't think Mercedes has your information until you take delivery of the car. It seems more likely that they ship based on production slot. Do not quote me on that. I could be totally wrong.

I think we have the first C43 pickup for North America on the thread/forum today right? Thats @whitebright43
Looking fwd to seeing those pics and vids. Hopefully the sedans will get updated and moving soon. Im sure within the first week of Dec we should see some movement on them.
I will ask my SA and the GM for any update on them when I pick up my car tomorrow and report back.

When I bought a BMW, they gave you a code so you could go to the www. You knew where your car was...not built, built, on boat, in BMW VPC, on truck, at dealer. This was in 2003, no less !!!!
I'm amazed that Mercedes leaves us gossiping on a board. My Order was placed for the Emerald Green Sedan (or did I dream this ?) August 18th....

Once you sign the official lease agreement they cannot change the payments. That is a contract. Anything that violates the agreement would be breach of contract.

ok perfect. I sent my buddy in afterwards to purchase a C43 and told him my specs and the deal I got. The dealer gave him a hard time and was kind of threatening my deal which has been signed since May so I was worried. He signed another customer because of me but seemed a little shady and waiting this long makes anyone anxious lol

i see what your saying I know it’s a preference. Just saying that the coupe is far better looking. Anyone would look twice at a coupe over a sedan any day.

2008 Honda Fit Sport (2019 C43 Sedan on order)
Here's another reference point for those interested. I'm in the USA, North Carolina. Placed an order on June 19 for a 2019 C43 sedan. Original build was estimated to be first decade of October. I changed spec on July 17, which invoked a decade change, and then another change around August 18, which invoked a second change (this is how I am interpreting the events associated with the order). Per my SA earlier this week, current "planned" decade is 3rd decade in January, but "scheduled"/estimated is 1st decade in January. VPC is listed as "52- Vance"/port 70505. Here's the spec:
896 Brilliant Blue exterior paint
974/P87 designo saddle brown/black Nappa interior
L6J AMG Performance Steering Wheel
H73 AMG Carbon Fiber Trim
RSJ 18" AMG 5 spoke wheels
U25 AMG Illuminated Door Sills
401 Heated & Ventilated Front Seats
413 Panorama Roof
463 Head-Up Display
464 12.3" Digital Instrument Cluster
