Only 3 C63W in Entire USA??

So I just received an email from my sales rep that there are currently only 3 C63W allocated to the entire country, and not a single one of them is mine. JPMBenz, do you know anything about this?

I might end up having to get the C63s, which isn't a problem except it's extra money I wasn't planning on spending. But this just seems weird, how can there only be 3 2016 C63W allocated to the entire 50 states??

A C63 W is made from a C63 S. Any dealer can change a S to a non S.

That would be the logical explanation, but I was told "that is not the case."

Apparently, he's trying to get regional and national sales to get one allocated to the dealership. I was told by another sales rep long before that the C63S can be switched to a W before going into production. I have no idea why they're not allowing that now.

My C63W is scheduled for production August 25. It seems to me that about 75% of C63 cars are S's ---- Does that sound about right? My dealership has 2 2015 S's in stock - $82-85 K

Yea, it seems a majority of the W205 AMGs are C63S models, especially on these forums. I was told I was able to get a 2D September C63S switched to a C63W, but they came back and said no. I'll have to wait for more information.

What is the "W"?

What is the difference between the regular c63 and the c63s? Other than the increased hp and torque?

Problem solved. The dealership said that the particular C63S that I was going to have converted to a C63W was currently too far into production that I wouldn't be able to change it. Apparently, these things have to be settled months in advance to get the right material at the factory to have the cars built.

I was, however, able to get an awesome deal on a C63S, where I'm basically paying nothing over the build that I had optioned out before. In the end, everything worked out for me, so I will be the proud owner of a C63S, not a C63.
