Wait time if I place an order for a 2021 C63.
I was at a MB dealership yesterday to test drive a pre-owned E53. Although it was nice, it didn't have the same feeling as the C63s I test drove a couple of weeks ago. I am thinking of ordering a 2021 C63 and was told by the salesman it would take 8-9 months. Is that accurate or just a con job to get me to buy his pre-owned?
What is the average wait time once an order is placed?

First off, you are posting in the wrong forum. You wanna post in the W205 forum. The W206 is the next generation C63 due early 2022. As for wait times, not sure what they are at the moment with COVID surging in Europe and most of the world again, but 8-9 months doesn't surprise me. There are a bunch of 2020 orders that were not fulfilled due to the factory shutdowns and they got converted to 2021 orders, and the supply chain has never really fully recovered. So the initial batch of cars is for orders that were originally placed for 2020. Daimler also got hit badly financially and they are laying off people. Some folks were waiting up to a year for their 2019 cars, just to give you an idea and that was before COVID. If you are planning on ordering a sedan, MB has also moved the production from Alabama to South Africa, so that will significantly increase order to delivery time compared to before when they were built in the USA.

2021 AMG C63 Coupe
My 2021 will head to the train Dec 14 , from the train to an assigned ship.
My SA sends me screenshots of the status on the regular.
As for the transit time , etc ..who knows
I can track it once it hits the ship ...I am still on track to take collection late Jan 2021
Several dealerships with open builds that you can modify and take over . I know a few have 63s headed back to the states around Feb or March
You will have to call around or maybe out of state

Man this was 2 years in the making , I skipped on the 2018.
My SA would ping me every other month after that.
once 2020 hit , it was a done deal grabbing a Allocation and paying my Deposit.
For now its a waiting game , things can change. lol
Call Around Cali dealerships see if they have open orders you can still modify.

Just a heads up, Mercedes has stopped allocations for the w205 model and the 2021 year. They are now moving onto the next gen allocations. I believe you can still get a w205 coupe 2021 but that window is probably closing soon as well. GET YOURS ORDERE ASAP!!!!!!!
