Congrats on getting your car! Just out of curiosity, did Ray Catena drill the front license plate for you or did they do that at the VPC? I definitely don't want front license plates drilled in, so I'm hoping the dealership did it (with your permission) rather than the VPC.
Can anyone who got theirs delivered and came from a previous model year tell if the exhaust sound quieter, or if the crackles changed greatly. Ive seen videos and it seems like the sharp crackles when you up or down shift are gone, or reduced greatly.

Congrats to the people that received their cars this weekend. I’m still waiting for mines to arrive 😩.
what kind of numbers are you guys getting on the monthly payments, mf, residual and what lease term.
I'm waiting like you as well unfortunately but applied through MB for a loan and was approved for the 1.99% financing for the winter sales event. Looks like they carried it over into December as well.

i keep checking my dealers website and my vehicle says “vehicle incoming- at warehouse ETA 4-5 days”. There was another guy on there too seems like he got his car cause it’s not showing up.
So do you recommend to start applying for the financing?

I applied for the loan just in case the 1.99% didn't carry over into December but it seems it has so probably no rush at this point. My SA says he is expecting some movement this week with the car, so I hope that's true!

oh ok! The suspense is killing me lol I ordered the car in July and was told I would be getting it by October. And we are in December already smh lol I’ve been taking public transportation for a month now. I hope so too man, hopefully this week.
Can't figure out how to post pictures from my phone here, but this is my brand new 2019 C43 cabriolet. First time I've bought a car "sight unseen", which felt strange. I really like the Graphite Grey Metallic color though, thankfully. It doesn't look quite as dark in person as photos would lead you to believe. Also very impressed with the improved multi-media setup. Now the challenge is how to force myself to keep it under 4500 rpm for the first 1000 miles! The AMG exhaust sounds so good. It just dares you to step on it.

My car has shown on my dealerships page as "coming soon" and "in transit" for over a week now.
@KyleSmith Regarding the sound. Its hard to tell thus far bc we are all in break-in for 1500km. So havnt explored much of sport + to see the cracked and pops. It does seem less though from having the exhaust open in Individual or comfort mode. Will report back once in full sport + mode though.

I'm curious about this as well. My S5 has a dedicated spot for a front plate, so no drilling. My wife's X3 needed to be drilled and I told the dealer no way so I bought a tow hook mounted plate holder from US Mill Works. Looks great and no drilling. Although sometimes it interferes with the front outside parking sensor. I'm thinking of getting the same thing for the C43, but not if it blocks or sets off a parking sensor.
Past: BMW 330ci ZHP '04, Audi S4 '11, VW Touareg TDI '12, BMW 328i '13. Current: 2019 C43 AMG Sedan

I too have a tow hitch plate holder from US Mill works for my 3 series. I am hoping it fits on the C43, but it looks like it may be recessed a bit more. The nice part about US Millwork though is the quick removal for the dreaded car wash for emergency situations. We’ll see if it fits!
I also don’t think I would accept delivery if they drilled without asking. For those of us who pre-ordered, they should ask.
Very happy people are starting to get their C43s, stopped me from panicking a little this morning - went and checked the Mercedes (Canadian) website and all refrences to the C43 have been removed for sedan, coupe and cabriolet in the "all vehicles" list. Hopefully they are just getting ready to update and allow you to finally go through a build online.
Interestingly they have now added the A class hatch with official pricing of both models.
Are sedans still stuck at vpc in the United States? Any word?
Nothing on my end. However, a little birdy told me that Mercedes is offering a $1,000 incentive in December. For those of you taking December delivery, definitely ask your SA about this.

I just checked in with my SA, my sedan order is now status VPC-Delayed. My SA called distribution and checked they are awaiting a software update to come from Germany. He said it should be quick.
