I went a local dealer today, they said it would take about 4-5 months to get the new AMG C63 sedan if I place order today, and it will be a 2016 model instead of 2015. It seems to be a good thing since the price is the same. Did anyone go to a dealer recently and find out the same thing? Or is this just me?

I had a conversation yesterday with a salesman and according to him if I ordered this week I'd likely get the car in early to mid July. Granted salesman say a lot of things so not sure how reliable the information is but passing it on anyway.

It's the first I've heard of this. Where are you located?

My dealer talked with New Jersey and said that the 2016 sedan should be able to order in June with an August build.

I thought maybe you were in Canada. Try calling a different dealer to double check this. I'm waiting for the MY2016 and I want to be first on that list.

Yeah, been think about the delays lately. My 2015 C63S is due before July 4th but if I get a slip over 30 days or so, I might just pass on it and get the MY2016. I haven't decided on my cutoff yet but I know getting MY2015 with no discounts on the heels of MY2016 is destine to lead to a huge hit in depreciation. Yes, I know these cars depreciate like crazy but getting a MY2015 at MSRP a month or two before MY2016 is released is not a good move in my opinion.

I heard the same thing from my local dealership. The 2015 run is over but they'll be taking orders for the 2016 build with first deliveries in August.

Let's see....how do I feel about taking delivery of my 2015 C63S one month before delivery of the 2016 release?



Anyone else in this situation?

My dealership contact said she talked to corporate and that there were no major changes to the 2016. Just a few new color options to be made available. If that makes you feel any better...

Edit: Precisely what she said was, "Product Management confirmed that there will be no significant changes to the 2016 C63 S. They may add a few additional paints or Designo interior packages, but nothing more than that, really. We can start placing orders in about a month."

Are you sure this is a C63 or a regular C300/C450

Will617

Please let it be brilliant blue

Arcoril

Yes, please. I'd do unspeakable things to get a Brilliant Blue C63 S.

Also, has there been any word on the 360 camera? I understand that there were some interference issues, but it seems like South Africa W205s are being fitted with them.

csbear

Yes! Brilliant Blue please!

TEAShea

Yes - 2016 C63 sedan

I ordered mine the first week of March as a MY 15 which my dealer said would then be rolled automatically (or with help) to one of the early MY 16's in August when the order banks open. I would think that you should place your order now if you want one before this year is over as demand will probably get even heavier once people start seeing these things on the road and the magazines get their's to test.

The order bank for MY 16 C's is not available yet. If your local dealership will take your name/deposit for the first MY 16 car that is different.

You always bail on your order before delivery, right? I did that with a BMW I built.

360 camera is called the surround view package and is available on the 2016. I have it on my build.
