AMG GLC43
So I went to my dealer to get a new build so I could include the studio package and the digital lighting package. They had 3 green allocations so we did the build. When he took it to his Manager to put it in the system they got an error that the allocations were temporarily unchangeable and to check back in a few days. My SA said usually when they get that message you can't change the build but he says he will try again next week.
These 3 allocations build dates were in May. I asked when other allocations may be available and he said he didn't know. He is even thinking that any allocations after the May ones may be 2024 MY allocations and who know how long the builds would take and there would also be a price increase
Soooo I don't know what to do.... maybe just take my current car at the vpc and live with my non digital lights. (I did see standard lights on a c300 today that was off and they really didn't look that bad in person)
There was also a black car that is built but waiting on a ship. It has everything I want except the studio pack plus extra stuff which I didn't really want. MSrP is 73K. But it is plain black not metallic

Work with your dealer to peruse cars without a buyer lined up that are either here or en-route. You might have to make slight comprises but might be able to negotiate terms better if the car doesn't meet or exceeds your wish list.

Boat will be arriving to GA end of the week.
I wouldn't be surprised if all MY23 builds are virtually locked now

only caveat for those waiting (I don't blame you):
08/16/2022 C43: AMG Performance Seat packages are limited in availability in CY22, and TBD availability in CY23.

The car won't be released until fuel economy is complete and monroney label is official and then MB is ready. The LATEST it could be released is probably sometime May - otherwise MB will be in trouble selling them more than they already are with half their other offerings.
The car will sit in GA VPC until official release - which could be within a week.... or 8 lol

Is anyone getting their C43 AMG for below MSRP?
If there's a chance I can get a few thousand off MSRP waiting until December, I might do that. But this is my first time ordering, so I'm not sure if that's a thing for custom orders and AMG cars.

Invoice with a base car is $56.6 - negotiating to +$500 over invoice was a popular practice in the past. We will see how the market is when the cars finally release. I will be at least trying to get below MSRP.

c43 amg 2022
My salesman quit and did not made the changes on my build
The salesperson who help me to order my c43 made me kind of order blindly and when I saw the UGLY chrome on the exhaust I got disgusted and requested a change which was in the window to do so.
i think it’s best to wrap it right? Can the exhaust tips be wrapt?

exhaust tips cannot be wrapped due to the heat from the actual exhaust gasses. You can have the tips removed and powdercoated or buy tips from Alibaba in gloss black.
The tips contrasting the black would look even better IMO.

It used to be without night package the trips are the only thing that was in chrome, not sure why MB decides to make the whole rear chrome if no night package.

I must be the only person (or only American) that vastly prefers the look without the night package

I'm going to wait. Lease prices will fall soon.
2023 2022 eqs 450s are going for 400 to 600 a month with NO MONEY DOWN right now. There is a frenzie now and people are running to mercedes
https://forum.leasehackr.com/
Go here and click shared deals. You will see the posts. I'm almost tempted to pick up a eqs450+ just for fun at 500 a month for 24 or even 12 months if they allow. And maybe grab the c43 at later time.
