C63 Coupe Edition 1
Mine was built last week and I'm resisting the urge to mail my dealer and see if there is an update. 
Ours might be on the same boat to LA Flooby, I think that is their processing center for the west coast.

2012 C63 Coupe P31
Hey Guys, Just a quick question on if I have any options with what has happened to my order. Ordered the Coupe back in August ( Canadian order) and was originally told to expect it around the end of Oct. or early Nov. So a month goes by and then the dealer said that the order would be delayed a little because of the Perf.Pack. so not to expect delivery until end of Nov. or very early Dec. So I go into the dealer a couple of weeks ago and we get to talking about when the car will be here and they tell me its delayed again because of the Red/Black seats and not to expect it until end of Dec. but to also keep in mind because of all the holidays around this time its more like an early to mid January pick up time. So I go from expecting the car in November with perhaps two months of driving time to look forward too ( because of our Canadian winters) to all of a sudden picking the car up and storing it in my garage for 3 months. I'm wondering if I have any options since I don't feel like paying 3 months ( I'm leasing) to have a car in my garage. It's not like I'm loosing a ton of money, but at the same time don't feel like throwing a few thousand dollars away either. Is this a valid complaint or should I just suck it up and be happy I've got the car coming lol?

As for your options, have you paid any money yet? Even if you placed a deposit it should be refundable. Just say to him the car has been delayed delayed for months and now it makes more sense to place an order for spring delivery. if you live in an area with more than one dealer, shop around. They love to make customers from other dealers happy and will probably treat you really well.

Sorry to hear you are having problem. I know there have been delays both for the performance pack and for some interior options so he may be honest with that but then I've seen others order well after you and get a duild date for those. It seems with MB it is much luck as dealer skill at manipulating the order system.

You would think they would want to work with you and keep your business but their loss can be your gain. The first dealer I went to was feeding me a bunch of BS about my order so I called a new one and get my deposit back. The one I'm with now treats me great and are honest with me so they have a new loyal customer.

You would think they'd want business, but if they aren't willing to offer any solutions ( I'm willing to compromise if they'd even offer options) then I'll have to cancel and go to one of the other dealers.

Most of our orders have been pushed back, mine got pushed back over 3 months as well, CaliSun's too.
All I can really say is it's worth the wait

If you are doing a custom spec car with PP and red/white seats then I would stick with the dealer you are currently with. If you place a new order with a new dealer you will have to start the waiting game all over again, you don't want to lose your allocation spot in line.

Nice, your car is almost clear of the English Channel and into the Atlantic already! According to the tracking it is chugging along at around 20mph.

May Volans Leader have a safe a fast voyage!
I think the worst part of the wait for me was when it was on the boat, I looked at marintetraffic.com 100 times a day
CaliSun are you also on that ship?
