Delivery Date

Does anyone know approximately how long it will take for a completed C63 Black Series (or non BS) to get to the dealership once it is completed? I am on the East Coast and was told that my car has been built.

Now I need to find the money to pay for it.

Thanks

Yes
Took about 3-4 weeks from build date to the dealer.

My salesman will likely get this information soon. But since few have delivered a Black Series yet, he has to wait to hear back from HQ. I was hoping someone may have already received this car and could speak from personal experience.

Yes, but I am still a bit nervous since I have never ordered a car without a test drive or even a personal viewing.

I wonder if the first BS in the US will go to a contributor on this board. I think rage2 will get one of the first, if not the first, to be delivered to Canada.

Seeing as no cars have been delivered in North America yet, I'm going to assume the first batch of cars are on the same ship as mine. Here's the port schedules for the ship:

HALIFAX, NS
12/03/2012

NEW YORK, NY
14/03/2012

BRUNSWICK, GA
17/03/2012

CHARLESTON,SC
18/03/2012

If there are other Canadian cars on the ship, Toronto will probably get the first delivery. For the US, NY should get the first.

My car was completed on March 5th, and it is on a ship headed towards the US. I can google the name of the ship and ascertain its approximate location. It is a few hundred miles west of Great Britian and is estimated to reach the US mainland on March 18th. Since I am on the East Coast, I expect delivery before the end of this month.

My car has been unloaded in Halifax, waiting for a train now. We'll probably get it around the same time since you're much closer to port.

Is any of you guy has ordered the Aerodynamics package or fully loaded. Mine won't be built until the first week of June and still have chance to change the option, presently my order is base + track pack only, I still hesitate the look of the areo package (wing), it is an expensive option and the lost of rear seat. Please post you feedback when you received your car
Thanks!!

You can get the aero pack with rear seats, that was changed in the order system sometime around Dec.

I do like to the see the aero pack in person to made up my mind, I went to the Auto Show but unfortunately the Black Serier at the show was the basic one without aero pack. It will be more expensive if I put those items back in after. BS with aero pack will be a cop attracter for sure (from my experience with the ex GT3), but look more aggessive. Hard to made up my mind

You might beat me to it... my car is still sitting at the port at Halifax, waiting in line to get loaded on a train. Been there since Monday.

I am not certain my car will arrive before yours. The ship bearing my prized cargo is scheduled to dock on the East Coast on March 18th. I hope this will be in Baltimore or Newark (none of which are more than 150 miles from my dealership in Northern New Jersey). In either event, it may take another 10-14 days after that for the car to roll into the dealer.

I spoke to my dealer yesterday about the fact that a few Canadians already have their cars in halifax and he seems to understand that AMG Canada is not releasing those cars in the port until they have all of the first "batch" of cars ready. Apparently there were snags in the production of this motor and there are numerous cars they are awaiting for before they release them to the dealers. Apparently that is why some of us have been bumped. For your sake I hope he is only trying to make me feel better, and your car is delivered to you soon.

I feel you guys on the waiting part! Cant wait to see some pictures!

On a different note wasn't the matte grey C63 BS at the Toronto Autoshow a sold car for the area? Do you think it is being held too?

So you may have your car in a few days!! Congrats


Do you know when your BS arrived into a US port (I assume Baltimore)? I am told that the ship carrying my car docked in Baltimore last night.

Thanks

Waiting seems to be the name of the game for the Black Series right now. My dealer just told me that my car is sitting "at the dock" in Baltimore. It has cleared US customs and has been awaiting (for 2 days so far) transport to the dealership. I am not sure what the delay is.

Has anyone taken delivery yet?
