Sadly yes we are. Pricing is finished but MBUSA is just not willing to release it.

 

Is this standard practice at MB or just related to this particular AMG model?

 

My sales person call this morning to confirm my color choice since my car showed up in their system. It looks like the car is in production now and scheduled to be completed by the second week of May and at the dealership by the end on May. I guess here in the US the Edition 1 are coming much later than the C63 and the C63 S. He also mentioned that in the past week they got more than 15 requests for the E1, and I know that he didn't tell me that to make me feel better

I know it will be worth the wait.

 

all of this and you don't know the price. Pretty dumb if you ask me Mercedes.

 

I cant agree more (Wait, you don't mean that I'm dumb right ). I did however put on the order form "Sale at MASP not to exceed $88K" which in my mind should be the top price. Anything above this open a lot more options.

 

I'm in utter shock right now. Just talked to MB Canada and they said that the release date for the car is August, and that pricing is going to be announced in July.

The sales manager at my dealership won't be in until 1p.m so I'll call him soon to ask him if he's heard anything about this.

 

Damn that sucks

 

It's possible that they might be wrong since they've already given me false information once. I'll just have to see what my dealership says. Although if this turns out to be the case then I'm probably going to Porsche, Jaguar, BMW M, or Maserati to purchase my next vehicle.

 

Well that escalated lol I would understand a month or two after the usa but August is far. Jp did say something about August earlier in the thread but I think it was a joke lol

 

Just called my dealership and the sales manager I talk to has the day off. So I'll have to call tomorrow. Damn I hope this is just some false info lol

 

Sorry to hear that bro....so this only affects Canada?

 

Don't know since I didn't contact MBUSA.

Just contacted my dealership again and talked to another sales manager which works there. He confirmed what MB Canada said, but he couldn't check my order for some reason. So tomorrow I'll call again to talk to the sales manager I've always dealt with to see if anything has changed to my order and to reconfirm if this is true....

 

Maybe they are doing this so they can release the car as a 2016 model

I really hope this is false info as I need another car now. I can hold out for 2 to 3 months, but not 6 months.

 

Ya I hope so also. I trust my original sales manager so whatever he says I'll believe. Although I really can't comment on anything that occurs in the U.S. To get info on that stuff you'd have to call MBUSA, and maybe all this won't affect you guys one tiny bit.

I also need my car within 1-2 months since the deal I was offered required my car to have 18k km max for the trade in.... if it'll end up coming in August then that'll be more like 20-22k km so in that case I'll have to take my business else where.

 

I feel for you Kuba. And yet mbusa still says launching in March...

 

At least in the US all the C63 S Edition 1 will be delivered by July

 

If ours got pushed that far back I'm just gonna get an M3 lol

 

... traitor

 

Who told you that? Based on what I see production doesn't start until June/July....

 

It is based on the following...

First, my salesman called me this morning to confirm my color choice because my car showed in his system requesting conformation. The system showed completion build date of the second week in May. Delivery is about 10 days so I sould expect the car in the dealership just before or soon after June.

Second, the dealer ordering guide states that Edition 1 final delivery by July.

 

Interesting.

 

Time is flying by though man. Hell, we're almost a week into March now.

Pretty soon, you'll be calling this lovely cockpit home:



The new steering wheel options = incredible. Love that each option has a 12 o'clock indicator band.

 

The DOG seems to be off w though. It says that US launch is March but cars don't go into production till April.

 

Man you're right lol I think US is still April

 

Except for the obvios announce of waiting for the car (which I know too well from past non MB orders) I have no urgency to have the car before lets say August since it's not my only vehicle, but I am concern about:

1. Not knowing the MSRP

2. Which might related to the above, if the car is delivered in Agusut I would expect it to be 2016 and not 2015.

Maybe the reason MB don't release the MSRP is due to the buildup issues and uncertainty when they will actually deliver the cars, which effect the MSRP.

Who knows - MB should learn from Porsche how to build excitement without disappointing their customers. With Porsche I know the MSPR why before the official production date. Since I'm new to MB I can only compare it to other brands I used in the past and both Porsche, Land Rover were amazing. So, in a nutshell, I didn't drive the car, and so far my experience with the brand it total disappointment. I hope the car will make me forget this part.
