After months of deliberation, I am very proud to share that I pulled the trigger this week on a custom order C63S. Targeting a first decade December build. I went to the dealership and drove one again earlier today. It is such an amazing car - not sure how I am going to make it the next 8 weeks of waiting.

Super excited and wanted to share with you all!

Thanks to all for all of the helpful insight over the last several months.

JP - big thanks to you for connecting me with Jesse - she is awesome!

Congrats Jeremy on your order
But remember after you get it you have another wait while you put the break in miles on it.

 

Awesome!! I'm glad it all worked out. I have connections all across the US!

 

Well...I jumped the gun a little bit. My sales lady was very optimistic she would be able to find a December build allocation, but turns out that they are only building 10 C63's the entire month in the southern region and every single one is a custom order so she can't trade for one of those allocations. She is working with the regional managers to see if they can miraculously find another December allocation, but it is highly unlikely. So now on to January. She has actually yet to be able to lock in a January build allocation - she has a couple of prospects, but nothing definitive. For whatever it is worth, she has been wonderful - providing updates to me every day and from what I can tell working very hard to find something for me.

Anyway, extremely frustrating that at a minimum I am now 3 months out as that feels like an eternity.

 

Allocation right now is VERY hard. There aren't many cars around either.

 

Okay - now it is officially official!

I have a PO number and a confirmed build date of 3rd decade January. Here's my build:

2016 C63S
Diamond White Metallic
Black leather w/ grey accent
Performance seats
Night styling package
Performance exhaust
Carbon fiber rear spoiler
Lighting package
Hands-free package
COMAND multimedia package
Panorama sunroof
Surround view package

T-minus 3 months...

 

Awesome!! Diamond White is extremely hard to get right now so i'm glad you got what you wanted. Which wheels/seat belts/trim did you go with?

 

Got the standard twin 5-spoke wheels, black ash trim, and silver seat belts.

Gonna be a long 3 months...

 

My wait was over 5 months. Yours won't be so bad believe me.

 

I admire your patience - I almost developed an ulcer scouring the Internet for pictures, reviews, and user feedback during the 1.5 weeks (!) I had to wait...

And great options! Diamond white is the fastest color...

 

Thanks Lugn! Yea, not excited about the wait, but is nice to have something to look forward to!

 

Congrats Jeremy! Can't wait to see pics of that diamond white color. I just put in my order Tuesday and got a PO number but no confirmed build date. I was told January production with a late February early March delivery. Looks like we might get our babies around the same time!

 

I may be a bit ahead of you. My production date will be between Jan 20 and Jan 30 - meaning that is the day it rolls out of the factory to the shipping yard. I live in Atlanta so at that point I am only 3 hours away by truck. I hopefully will take possession of mine no later than end of January.

Funny side note, I find myself thinking about driving my new car all of the time. I was driving home from the airport today with my windows rolled down and was just imagining hearing that sweet exhaust note.

 

A couple of recent pics - the difference in the paint in sunny/cloudy conditions is stunning. Absolutely loving it!

 

Such a nice color, almost makes me want to go back and change my order.

 

It's very nice. And unusual here in Japan... With only about 100 white ED1's and a population of 130M, this car truly is one in a million
