2019 C63S Sedan AMG Orders?
I am looking to pre order the 2019 C63S sedan, does anyone know a time frame of when this will be possible? (Located in FL, if that were to make a difference). Any help would be much appreciated!

You can already pre-order the 2019 C 63 S Sedan. The dealer will take $2,000 - $5,000 deposit depending on the actual order, if something within the dealer order guide, $2,000 is enough. Call or email your local Mercedez-Benz dealer.

Have they opened up? I was told that only the Coupe and Convertibles are ready to be ordered, not yet Sedans. This was just a couple of days ago.

No, it is not. That is the purpose of the deposit - you order a C63S, and if you don't take it, you lose the money.
Otherwise, everyone would be ordering vehicles whether they really want one or not and using up the dealer allocated slots for nothing.

And this is just totally my opinion but if you need to use a credit card to place a deposit on a vehicle... well... maybe you might want to consider a different vehicle. I guess it makes sense if you're paying it off and trying to get some extra airline miles or something. The deposit on a "regular" car like a C63 (eg, not a special or limited edition) shouldn't be more than about 3-5% and honestly, I'd be pretty surprised if it was more than $1000-1500. It all depends on your relationship with the dealer. If you are a prior customer, you might not need to put down a deposit at all. I didn't have to put one down on my current car, but have placed deposits before.

My deposit was refunded after I cancelled my '18 c63s last year. Dealers get allocations and will move cars between dealerships if a person decides to bail. I have never heard where a deposit wasn't refundable and sounds risky because anything can happen during that wait, such as losing a job or finding a different car you want. I would recommend to always ask the sales guy to make sure the deposit is refundable and have him sign it with a statement with those exact words.

I know dealers have limited slots so to think that it can be a free-for-all and have Bill drive by and decide to use the last build slot, wait, and see how he feels about it after a few months at no penalty when someone else who is 100% committed cannot get that slot anymore, sounds funky to me. Yes, dealerships can definitely "trade" with other dealerships but that sounds like an extra step that shouldn't happen in the first place. Deposits are a great way to weed out semi-buyers from committed buyers, and to save the dealership the hassle of trading. Otherwise, they serve no purpose?
Might also depend on how soon you decide to withdraw your order.
If anyone is wondering about deposit amounts, I was told NONREFUNDABLE $1,000 for '19 C63S (~$85k build) and $5,000 for '19 E63S ($113k build). Yet I paid a $1,000 deposit for my C450 (L0L)...

As has been mentioned before, deposits CAN be refundable. This would depend on the dealer and various other factors, some of which have been mentioned and others not. The fact that yours was not refundable doesn't mean that the next person in the dealership where you got your car didn't get a fully refundable deposit. It is advisable to put a refundable deposit as you never know what would happen in the future. The deposit amount is also variable, negotiate that as well. Considering that you're not driving the car off the lot at the time of placing the deposit, a grand is more than enough to secure the car. Remember, there are other dealers out there, including out of state one's, who are quite willing to take your money.

"I have never heard where a deposit wasn't refundable and sounds risky..."
Sounded like he was saying ALL deposits are refundable. Yes, non-ref can be ref. under special circumstance, amount varies, and it may or may not be needed, etc... all at your dealer's discretion. Maybe I wasn't clear, but IF you have put one, then it is & should be non-ref. for the most part from a business standpoint.
Moving on... :-)

I'm not sure why you are so wrapped up around this idea. Like I said before, if a owner bails the dealer doesn't care because their inventory is networked across the US, which others can access. The sales guy makes money off of you, but will not risk losing a customer. That's why it's a good idea to shop around unless you don't have access to many dealers.

All I was saying is that all deposits can be refundable. It's on you for accepting that term. From experience, that is the first thing I ask and want in writing before I even start talking about the car or options I want.

I think its safe to say the whole deposit amount and/or refundable thing mostly depends on the relationship with our dealer. Each situation will be handled slightly differently. Also depends on the car and the amount of demand for it, price, etc...

I am located on Long Island if anyone wants to order a C63 from me, just shoot me a PM!
Sedans can definitely be ordered, just put in our first C63S Sedan order for one of my customers. Obsidian Black with Magma Grey yellow stitched interior!

Everytime me and my family have ever made a deposit, its always been refundable. Sometimes when we haven't wanted the cars we order we always get our money back.

So I know orders for 2019 C63s Sedans can be placed with dealers as of now, but how does it work from there? Don't the dealers still need to wait for an allocation of a production slot from Mercedes?
