2019 C63/S Coupe/Cabrio - What is earliest month of production you all are seeing?
 
In another thread, folks have said 2019 C63/S coupes and cabriolets are now ready to order.

Let’s use this thread to keep track of production months for the available build allocations.

Kindly state the model trim (coupe or cab) and month and year of production that your available build slot, or any build slots you have observed, may indicate.

I got the first order at my dealer, 2019 C63s Coupe, still waiting to hear when its expected delivery date is.. but the official order guide the dealer sent me lists it as Q4.

So the dealer has put your name in the order bank for a car... but the dealer has not actually been given an allocation for the vehicle yet. Correct?

2019 C63s coupe-got allocation notification July 2nd and approximate build date 2nd week of October delivery mid to late November (18). Assuming there are no delays and potential tariffs don’t blow up everything.

Yup. I secured allocations yesterday for C63S coupe (October build) and E53 coupe (September build).

Faker 07-04-2018 01:54 AM

2019 C63S sedan allocation secured. Dealer told me delays possible for the carbon fiber trim (due to shortage) which would push order to the second round of builds w/ delivery late November to December.

348SStb 07-12-2018 09:41 PM

My C63S coupe build was moved up by Mercedes from October to September!

I ended up going without the carbon fiber trim on my 2019 c63 amg s ; originally wanted carbon fiber but now am getting the black ash... couldn’t wait for a later delivery lol

Good decision. And you saved a bundle!!

348SStb 08-04-2018 03:49 PM

Having checked in recently with my US dealer... Mercedes tinkered around with scheduled production dates for my C63S no fewer than 7 times...

Now I’m looking at November 2018 production.

At the time of order placement in early July, production was October. Then Mercedes moved it to a September (great).

The system shows that at the end of July, Mercedes tinkered around every day (like five times) with a new production plan, with the latest being November.

**And my car doesn’t have any option that has some kind of delay or limited availability attached to it.

Mercedes really needs to get its act together. Dealers are starving for inventory, but Mercedes is not releasing 2019 cars. Further, they keep changing production dates for all sorts of different models.

This car is much more useful to me in October than in December. I am p*ssed.

Same reason why I still haven't even ordered mine. Being in NYC, won't be much fun in the winter time. I'm looking to place an order around October or at the absolute latest very early November. As long as it comes in no earlier than maybe the latter half of Feb, I'm content.

I was also told that the car would now be in production by November and delivery in December

CrashTX 08-06-2018 11:11 PM

I'm actively shopping and hearing November production, late Dec/early Jan delivery

My local dealer have access to the 2019 configurator now.I was at the dealer couple days ago building the 2019 C63S.There is no allocation for this car yet, but I've made the deal with the manager on the drive out price as well, and made the deposit. When I came home and looked over my spec sheet I realize i'm missing the premium package. (OMG) My sales never mentioned if I wanted premium package or upgrade the sound system. I'm hoping this time they come as standard option. Does anyone know if the premium package would be standard option on 2019 C63S Convertible? (i.e: Power-folding side mirrors, Automatic trunk partition, Burmester Surround Sound System). Because I've already made the deal, If I add now price will only be going up lol. fml

Don't worry, it's standard lol. (Source: 2019 Dealer Order Guide)

Qack 08-21-2018 03:46 PM

Build date change
 
my c63s coupe build date moved from October to now November with projected delivery the end of December. Won’t surprise me if they moved it several more times. Bummed out. Ordered when the order banks first opened in early July.

What's the problem?

Just add the cost of the premium package, discount it by the same discount factor which can be determined by dividing the previously negotiated price into the previous MSRP, and tell the manager to add it and give them the new grand total and have him sign off on the new deal.

[Edit: I am just realizing Premium Package is standard. Please disregard :D ]

CrashTX 08-21-2018 06:31 PM

Dont worry about it...
 
The premium package is standard in the 2019 C63s. You don’t need to do anything.

I put my order in against a 2019 allocation. Nov-3rd decade build window.

Congrats!

Problem solved, Premium package confirmed with my dealer as standard option. YAY!
Anyone know if there is upgraded sound system package? The 2018 burmester sound system isn't that extraordinary in my opinion.

There is no upgrade beyond the Burmeister.

Sounds like you could use a dealer ordering guide. Give me your email address and I’ll send one along.

Premium package
 
Check closely your premium package as in the UK it doesn’t mirror the premium package of the 2018 & earlier models.
if you want the sunroof for example, you will need to choose the premium plus package:-

hey, from the sheet you posted it says performance seat is standard on the c63s. is that only for uk model? because i was at the dealer when they configured my build the performance seat was optional $2500.00

seek3n 08-22-2018 11:05 PM

I was curious about the discount I got from my dealer at 5.2% off the msrp on my c63s cabriolet pre-order. Does anybody know if this is a good deal or I could have done better than this. Thanks a lot!

The case seems; in the US, you get roof & pay for performance seats & in the UK we get seats & Pay around $2500 equivalent for sunroof.......

The UK has it proper!!

seek3n 08-28-2018 04:14 PM

anybody here got the word if NA dealers have the allocation for the c63s cabriolet yet? or just order banks still.

348SStb 09-01-2018 09:13 AM

My production date changed again.

Now my C63S coupe is “in production,” with a scheduled build date <Decade 2> in October. Jeez

Mercedes changed my production date AGAIN on 28 August. Moved me up from November to October. I’m back to where I started and I’m happy about that, but wow the changes!

Those of you with orders might check with your dealers to see if Mercedes fiddled around again with production schedule.

Yessir, and I just I edited my post to reflect.

LawyerUp1 09-04-2018 11:29 AM

Just confirmed with the dealer that production of my '19 coupe was moved to end of October with delivery expected in November. When I put my deposit down, it was originally build date in September with October delivery. It then moved to November delivery, then December delivery, now back to November. Who knows whether it will move again. Kind of disappointed that I'll be getting my car in the dead of winter.

seek3n 09-04-2018 12:22 PM

my dealer saying they still have not gotten allocation for c63s coupe/cabriolet... I dont want to get it 3 months after seeing people driving down the road already.

Don't worry, all of our cars will be in the garage until April :wall:

What date did you place your order? My dealer opened ordering on the 1st August and I placed mine on 13th August (had a deposit placed for some time before this). Hopefully I won't be too far behind you!

Thanks

Nice spec Tiledhouse.

I have a similar spec on order. Only different items are :

Designo graphite magno
HUD
Black open pore / IWC

Please post some photos of the dash/door belt lines in artico when your car arrives,as it
may not have the same smooth feel as the seats.

It's an extra £720 to get them to look the same as the Nappa leather seats.

the AMG drive unit is standard on S model correct? because my guy was like do you want to add amg drive unit for the steering wheel. I said no... but my was S model... so confused... Is it because I got the L6J wheel? Also anyone know if the L6J 12oclock mark would be red? I want the all leather steering wheel with red 12 o'clock marker. Whats in the premium plus package? My buyer's guide doesn't have that option. And what is that Wheel Arch widening for AMG wheels? I don't have that option either. Man it looks like the UK model is somewhat different than the NA model.

The AMG drive unit is standard on the S model. You don't need to add it. The 12 o'clock mark is red if you selected the red pepper/black interior option (which is what I selected). Also, the UK has different options. For example, all of the 2019 S models reviewed in Europe (on YouTube) have carbon fiber trunk spoilers with the aerodynamics package. So, naturally, I tried to spec that for my car (I'm in the U.S.). However, I was told that if I get the aerodynamics package on car, I can't get the Carbon Fiber 1 package. He said the European models have better specs. Go figure.

Did you choose the (L6J) all leather steering wheel or the (L6K) nappa/dynamica? oh and no aerodynamic package option for cabriolet.

hi
i think the spec scenario is a real conundrum!
we don’t have the multi- choice steering wheel options. We get L6K: full stop.
In the states & Canada you get glass roof (we pay)
in Europe we get bucket seats ( you have to pay)
there are several differences !... I wanted yellow stitching.....Ok in the US & Canada. No can do in the UK.
what more can I say ?

I did the L6G (all Dinamica) steering wheel. Per the production guide, the L6J is standard on the non-S C63. Standard for the S model is the L6K (which comes with the red 12 o'clock marker). Can upgrade to the L6G for $150, which gives you all Dinamica and same colored 12 o'clock marker, depending on which interior color you selected.

i want the all napa leather (L6J) to me the little specs(little dot holes) match the carbon trim. Do you know if it comes with red marker and stitching with C63S model if my interior is red pepper/black for L6J? Or is the L6J all black no marker? And only c43 comes red marker and stitching for L6J? I know the L6K nappa/dynamica comes with red marker and stitching if the interior is red pepper/black. But i dont really like the micro fiber is going to soak sweat and become dirty and eww.

How much has everyone been getting off MSRP on their coupe orders. I’m planning on ordering one soon and wanted to gauge what I should aim for.


purplewidow 09-20-2018 07:53 PM

Waiting for my dealer to get allotment.. Hopefully I hear something soon.
Ordered on 9/5.

I am beyond excited even though I probably wont get it until January or Feb.

Only add on I am considering is the Aero Package.. Problem is this is my Daily.. including Chicago Winters.. It's flat here so I am not too worried about traction but I still gotta deal with the snow and it is lower in the front. The guide I have with all the 2019 options has the aero but i think is the only option they don't have a pic of.. Really need a side by side comparison. I might get the mirrors and spoiler in carbon fiber after i get the car.. I wanna see how she looks first and cost is the same so I am told so I am not too worried about it.

Obviously, at this point in a refresh model year -- pre- and early-production -- on a relatively limited production model, dealers are gonna be tight. Someone earlier in the thread indicated they got 5.2% off. While I won't divulge exactly what my deal was, I'll say that's in the general area of what I got. But, to get that, I had to get three dealerships in a small price war and fought for every 0.25% for almost a month. The other three dealerships in the area wouldn't even talk discounting them. On top of that, they all wanted $5K non-refundable deposits. I managed to secure mine for only $1K, but that took some wrangling, too.

I got a good deal for me. If my experience is typical, I'd say 4-6% is about all you should expect. In my opinion, if you can get more than 6, then good on ya (and I'll need to know the name and number of your dealership)!

Happy Hunting!

Here you go

I went with the Aero Package here in NYC... Will see haha

seek3n 09-25-2018 04:08 PM

aim for as much as you want i think generally dealer have total 12-13% mark up on their invoice price. It all depend on if the dealer wants to sell it to you or not. i got 5.2% on my cabriolet. Because they got me a 1028 model but came in with 1.2k miles on it as new. I didnt want it anymore and theres no more cars out there with the build i want. had no choice but to order the 2019 so they gave me a 5.2%. Coyld I have asked for 6% and get the deal? I think so. But I spoke to another dealer saying if they could give me 6 or better because i had the offer from another dealer already. And the sales just laughed and saying theres no way my manager would give you any discount on a pre order new model custom build car. But if your willing to wait and get their inventory, id say ask to speak with the manager that holds share in the dealership and for 11% discount. And meet them between 9-10%. Also you can bargin on finance rate and maintenance program too. Dont let them duke you on the finance rate when they lowered your drive out price.

seek3n 09-25-2018 04:11 PM

My dealer told me they have two S coupe in production and should be ready for pick up in december. Still no allocation for cabriolet yet.

Very nice order!
I’ve just placed my order with Knauz in Illinois 10-3.
Not seeing the exhaust particulate filter on the US spec cars or in my standard options list so hoping we don’t get that.
Also have been told that the AMG Performance exhaust is now standard so I had no option for that but saw that on your order.
I’m attaching my build sheet for you guys to check out.
Was told I should be getting the car early spring, we shall see!

New to the MB game, coming over from my 4th BMW's but got my order confirmation last week and build sheet for my C63s Coupe. Looking at a late February delivery, but super excited for the car. I saw on one of the build sheets the AMG Performance steering wheel, i know the 2019's are getting a new wheel, was told it will be the same one from the AMG GT 4 door. But curious how the performance wheel differs from standard? My build is below, looking forward to spending time here and learning from everyone.

C63s wont be delivered until November or December according to the latest launch schedule.

seek3n 10-18-2018 03:43 PM

anybody know if the L6J all leather steering wheel comes with red marker if interior is red? Just wanted to confirm it. i know the L6K and L6G comes with marker matching interior color. But im not a fan of alcantara. I had 2009 audi R-8 with alcantara and that steering wheel worn out so bad like a dog chewed on it lol.

Where do you find this information? Everything I've found from Mercedes-AMG says release is early 2019. My dealer can't/won't give me a date, but estimated I would be getting it at the end of November.

My dealer has their first 2019 C63s coupe coming in as an early December delivery date. Wrong color and options for me, or I'd have a shorter wait! :)

Where is this Launch Schedule you speak of?

The c63/s isn't scheduled to be released until early 2019 according to Mercedes press release. Even when I called mbusa within the last 2 weeks they said q1 2019 release and couldn't even say what month. I hope they get them delivered sooner. I'm still waiting for allocation and I ordered mine sept 5th.

Just because a car is built that doesn't mean it will be delivered before they release that 2019 model.. Like I said before my dad's 2019 s63 sedan he ordered in April has been sitting at port in Maryland since mid August because Mercedes hasn't "released" that 2019 model.. Now they don't plan on releasing the S63 sedan until November sometime when originally they were planning to release it in September.

Praying our c63/s orders don't have that type of delay.


Jeff Whitten 10-18-2018 05:51 PM

Last 2 years (2017 and 2018 model years), dealer received release from Mercedes corporate late September, early October. Not sure if the 2019 model year is following a similar release or something different. Best data is someone who has a 2019 order with build completion recently, and if they have the car or a date from the dealer.

The order guide says red marker only the in the C43 AMG. And it only comes with red-top stitched upholstery, which is available only on C43 models.

I ordered the leather steering wheels also, and I’m expecting no red marker. My interior is all black Nappa, but that’s a moot point since it says only C43.

Has anyone else run into this...……. My dealer holding my deposit says that the carbon fiber trim and the wireless charging NFC pad for phone are incompatible. Obviously I chose the trim, but this seems weird. I put deposit down on Sedan in July and it still hasn't been officially ordered. The Houston Dealerships are telling me no discounts available. Should I try a smaller market?

1) I ordered a sedan recently with Carbon Fiber interior + Wireless phone charging... dealer made no mention of incompatibility. Wonder if that's a coupe or sedan issue.

2) B26 - Aerodynamics package... is that Euro only? I didn't see that in the North American dealer ordering guide but seems like I would probably love that option. Can anyone confirm?

I got 6% off fairly easily on a sedan in Houston

Ordered end of June. Was told there are delays in carbon fiber trim so no allocation yet. Anyone else experiencing this?

LawyerUp1 10-19-2018 03:31 PM

Aero package is available in NA (I ordered it on mine), but you can't get the wing or side skirts in carbon fiber if you opt for it. I ordered a coupe in July with carbon trim and wasn't told about any delay (at least not related to the trim).

speak with sewells mb Houston. thats where ive ordered mine. They are very helpful with my order. The greenway and sugarland is not so nice when i went to taking a look.

seek3n 10-19-2018 04:02 PM

and there’s an “updated” launch schedule at the last page (one of the last pages depending on when you click the link)

My build is currently scheduled to start Oct/3rd decade (i.e., basically, this week or next). However, dealer told me last week they're seeing delays in delivery across all classes, so not to be surprised when build start and/or delivery is late. Sorta suggests (to me, anyway) the delays are more about the "official launches" of the MY19 models than any actual production issues. Frankly, I'd rather have the build delayed than have the car sit in port, waiting on a launch date.

Should I try a smaller market?

Mine's configured with Carbon trim and charging pad. I watched my dealer put the build in and it allowed it.

Can anyone please confirm that the U88 AMG Drive Unit (the controls between the horizontal and vertical spokes on the steering wheel for ride control, 9-stage traction control, exhaust, etc.) is standard on the C63S? I don't have the latest DOG; mine it says it's a $400 option on the L6J wheel I ordered, and I don't see it listed on my build sheet. I would almost swear that it was listed as standard when my dealer and I were configuring the build, but I've slept since then. The fact it's not on the sheet has me a little nervous.

seek3n 10-20-2018 11:42 PM

Having the same confusion here as well lol. I want the all leather steering wheel L6J but in the description it didn't mention anything about U88 drive unit. Unlike L6K says comes with out without. And the L6G says required. If you got your answer please update me as well. Thanks

Yes the U88 amg drive unit is standard on the 2019 c63s. I ordered mine with the L6H Carbon Fiber Wheel..Also the U78 Performance exhaust is now standard on the 2019 c63s.

CrashTX 10-21-2018 03:34 PM

Thanks, @purplewidow. Apologies to the forum. This was apparently previously asked and answered on this very thread. I just didn't see it.

(I did get confirmation, too, from my dealer that the drive unit and the perf exhaust are standard on the S).

So, a word from my dealer. My cabriolet won't be in production until 2nd week of February 2019. and it takes 8 to 12 weeks to deliver the car. Then that puts the time around may of 2019. Now i'm thinking thats half a year will be gone. Would this still considering to be a 2019 or it should be 2020. Any thoughts?

February build would be a 2019 car and there is nothing wrong with a May 2019 delivery of a 2019 car.

Why in the world does it take that long after production? My car is going into production April 1st and I'm supposed receive it about 4 weeks later in SoCal...? Are you in some remote location or something?

8-12 weeks is the shipping estimate to the west coast. That's also what they tell you when doing European Delivery. 8-12 weeks from drop off before it arrives at the dealer. 4 weeks is best case at best. Coupes and Cabs are made at the factory in Bremen, so fortunately that's very close to Bremerhaven from where they are shipped, but cars can easily sit at the port a couple of weeks before they get a spot on a vessel. The journey through the ocean is a few weeks. Don't remember exactly from last time, but the vessel has to cross the Panama channel, which is very busy, then offloaded in Long Beach. Then going through the VPC and customs can take up to two weeks worst case, but can also be as little as a day. All depends. I'm sure the shutdown has an effect on customs backlog and if we have another shutdown in three weeks it'll get worse. If the car sustained damage on the way over here, it needs to be repaired first. If you are in SoCal it won't have to go far afterwards, but for me it has to be trucked to NorCal for example.

Finalized my 2019 C63s Cabriolet order on 10/1/18.
Emailed received on 11/18/18 that the car was built and would be shipping on 11/19/18.
Took delivery 12/13/18.
So 2.5 months from final order to delivery.

Yes indeed.
I actually went back in March, yes March, to try and order. As you know, that was way too early.
I stayed in contact once a month with the sales manager in hopes to order.
Once the sales manager found out they were allocated (1) of these, he contacted me and allowed me to make the order per my preferences.
Everything finalized in October as stated.
Hopefully you’ll get your soon. It is worth the wait.

That's the estimate to set expectations. It could be faster if the car spends little time sitting around, gets quickly allocated and loaded on a vessel, sails through the VPC and customs and quickly gets a ride to your dealer. My last European Delivery took 10 weeks from drop off to redelivery at my dealer. It was with Audi, but they all use the same logistics companies. Granted, I kinda made the mistake to drop it off in Switzerland, so it first had to be trucked to Emden. I'm guessing I could have shaved off 3-4 weeks if I had dropped it off in Emden or maybe less, but it took 4 weeks from the time I dropped it off until it finally was loaded on a vessel. This time my plan is to drop it off in Bremerhaven, so it doesn't have to be trucked there first and hopefully doesn't take too long to get on vessel.

Very informative! Based on my last update from dealer (please see below image) and your experience, and government shutdown, when do you think I'll be getting mine?

I’d say you’ll see it best case last week in February. Average case second week in March. Worst case last week in March.

04S 01-29-2019 01:10 AM

Located in Australia. A C63S coupe. I think there may have been some delays with RHD cars (given the high demand for LHD cars) which explains the delay here.

Eric Pearce 02-08-2019 04:20 PM

Have been waiting since November 2017, over 1 1/2 years with a series of delays for the C63s Coupe.

I’ve recently been advised of Dec2018 being pushed to Jan, then March 20th 2019 or further again.

Anyone else with a shared experience?? I guess I’ll be one of the first in Australia when it actaully arrives, hope this wait is worth it.....

:eek:

How is that even possible? I've seen tons of 18s even on car lots...is there a specific build you've been looking for? are you looking at a '19 at this point?

EDIT: just saw you're from Australia, not the US...sorry

Eric Pearce 02-19-2019 07:03 AM

Yep, 2019 edition coupe release Pano grill, Carbon pack etc. Presuming we’re still waiting on this coupe 2019 edition to arrive in
the next few weeks in Australia??? Anyone out there that’s received delivery as yet?

No, 2019 edition release coupe, Pano grill, Carbon pack etc. I was expecting this release mid last year for 2018, however seems a 2019 edition. I presume limited production capacity in Affalterbach, hence delays. Anyone with shared experince?

As far as I know there was never an earlier official release from mercedes expected than q1 2019..Some had a schedule that showed a possibility of november 2018 but mercedes official press release stated q1 2019. That is what mercedes said from the beginning. It gives mercedes the ability to build up hype for the vehicle for a year. It is standard for mercedes. They debuted the CLA during the super bowl and they didn't end up in lots until the next super bowl.. lol.. Also the engine is built in Affalterbach but assembly of the coupe is done in Bremen Germany. Assembly of the sedan in the US for the most part is done in Alabama. Strangely my dealer says once in awhile they get a sedan from the South Africa facility and they don't know why.

Mine also entered production on Feb 1st. The ETA on the screenshot that my dealer sent me shows March 17. Anyone know a more realistic or accurate ETA for me car? I ordered a C63S Coupe and I am located in Vancouver Canada. Thanks!
