I ordered mine in the beginning of May 2021....

 

Well the run on Sedan's is also close to an end. Just 5 days ago there were 5-6 in the MidAtlantic area, now, just 3. I bought mine from MB Annapolis MD (Wayne) with NO MSRP in early July. I'd go through them and not the Northern Va (NOVA) dealerships if someone is interested, guaranteed the NOVA dealers will be adding ADM's. They were doing that even before the announcement.

 

Too funny for me - that's the one my dealer in Buffalo tried to get for me, but they didn't want to give it up.

 

Just heard this morning ours has been produced (I have a VIN) but they don't have a vessel name yet, so apparently it is either on the train or is waiting in the lot. Tomorrow will be 1 week since I received the build sheet with the VIN. Not precisely sure when the dealer received the VIN. I know the car was originally scheduled for build on 7/10. How long are cars currently waiting at the port in Bremerhaven to be shipped? I'm trying to get an idea of when the car will arrive as we are weighing selling her 2018 C300 Cab outright or trading it in. In Indiana we get a 7% sales tax credit on a trade-in, so that's a considering factor as well.

 

I received my vin on 7/1 (Netstar update) and my car was produced on 8/17 (Netstar update). As of today it's still in the produced/not shipped status. It has been 9 calendar days and still in the status. The Netstar document still has nothing in the vessel name or arrival eta yet. So you are probably 7-10 days behind mine. I will keep you posted on any new updates. My dealer is giving me daily updates.........

 

Unfortunately no. Really stinks too, because we had a chance to snag this one earlier in the year when the dealer had the allocation. I went with another dealer that was giving a discount. That's what I get for trying to get a discount. I'm just grateful I got it at sticker at this point. Thanks for the help and updates. The dealer is giving me updates as I request them, but not much more unfortunately.

 

Mine sat at port in Germany for around 3 weeks before it was shipped and on the water. Then around 2 weeks in transit to the SoCal VPC. From the VPC, only 4-5 days to reach the dealer.

 

The timeline is lopsided now due to parts shortages. My understanding is that the HERMES communication module is not available currently. It gets installed at the VPC, but they are waiting for them and the cars are getting held at the VPC. The dealership can request it, though, and make you sign a waiver acknowledging that the car is incomplete and that you'll bring it back for the module to be retrofitted. They are expecting them sometime next year, but no clear timeline has been given so far. W/o the HERMES module none of the Mercedes me service will work, including eCall and Wi-Fi hotspot. If I remember correctly, the wireless charger is also not being offered at the moment for the same reason.

 

superswiss,

Thanks...
I confirmed with my dealer that this does not apply to the c63s coupes.

 

and I confirmed with mine that this does not apply to the c63s cabriolet as well. @cjqamg I heard from my dealer that the car should be hitting the water in next 7 days. I wonder if that's a guesstimate or a real number?

 

​​​​​​Awesome!

Yeah I got confirmation twice. A few weeks ago I asked my dealer when the news first was posted by MB....then I just wanted to be safe when he just posted. @RavenM6 just took delivery of his C63 and didn't have any delays with that module/chip.

Thanks

 

Interesting. Wonder if that means the modules are sat aside for AMG models or maybe they just get preferential treatment.

 

Possibly....good question!?

 

@RavenM6 @cjqamg Are you getting any of the extended warranty packages? If so, mind saying what the dealer quoted you? I'm wanting to make sure I'm not gonna get screwed on the warranties. With an AMG I'm going to go ahead and assume the warranty is worth every penny.

 

I am not getting an extended warranty on mine....sorry

 

I heard the HERMES back-order and hold-up at the VPC's is affecting E and S-Class models, not the the C63. But as far as the wireless charger, that probably explains why I'm seeing some of these new arrivals without that option.

 

I did go with an ELW from my dealer. It's 100% refundable if I trade in the car or cancel before the 4 year factory warranty ends, so I decided to get it now rather than think about it later as there's a significant discount (15% or so) in buying it within 30 days of taking delivery on your car.

PM sent with details.

 

Has anyone gotten the wheel/tire warranty recently? Was considering it and was wondering if it's worth it.

 

Heard from the dealer yesterday afternoon the car is in B600 (I think he said) status, which I believe means it is either at the port or on it's way. Have had some conflicting information there, so cannot be for sure. What I do know is the last few vehicles the dealer has received from the Bremen factory have been waiting at the port for around a week or so before being placed on a ship. In either case the logistics person at the dealer said they expect delivery around the 1st of October.

We're on the fence on this as well. We didn't do it for her C300 and everything is fine 3 years later. Our biggest issue is whether or not we keep the stock rims on the car. It was ordered with the Cross Forged Black rims and my wife currently has the classic 5 spoke AMG design and loves it. So we're likely going to forego that package. The question then comes to mind of whether we get the warranty on the replacement rims and tires (as the rims will definitely be AMGs). I'm not sure if it's available, or even then if we would get it. We're not planning on taking the car to the track or driving it Chris Harris style frequently enough to burn through the tires faster than rated wear. If you're someone who plans on driving it hard, taking it to the track, etc. I would say it's probably worth it. Have you seen the prices on AMG rims?

 

Thanks. I got the stock 5 spoke gray AMG wheels, which i like the style better than any of the multi spoke black wheels. I like black wheels the best, but prefer a 5 spoke design. I doubt I will do a tire and wheel warranty, as I plan on getting a set of winter tires and wheels to run during November-February. Especially being in New Jersey.

I got an update today from in my dealer as well. I'm also in B6 status & factory invoiced (B60 & Z50). Same as you it sounds like. Dealer said it's 100% complete and passed all the inspections and checks and now waiting to ship. Sounds like our cars are together and probably will arrive at Baltimore VPC at same time!

 

Cool! We were looking into doing winter tires on it as well, but honestly will probably garage and cover it in the winter. This is a 3rd car for us and 99% of the time won't be driven unless it's top down weather (which is only about 9 months of the year in Indiana)

 

​​​​​
that sounds good! We have other cars as well, but I still want to drive it at least in the cold weather here and there. Not necessarily snow.

 

So I have a Tesla Model 3 Performance that has the Pilot Sport Cup 2's on it and I drove it around for past 2 winters no issue. When it gets a little icy out it gets a bit sketchy, but other than that the PSCs did just fine. (Mind you, it's AWD and I never drove it in the snow. I'd wait until the roads were cleared before driving it.)

 

This 2021 C63s coupe was still available as of yesterday morning. It’s one of the final unsold ones left in the country. Jump on it if you still can!

 

I did see that one but I ended up finding a perfectly spec’d sedan with really low miles. I’m flying out to pick it up tomorrow! I came to the realization that I would be fighting my 2.5yo everyday trying to get him in and out of a car seat in a coupe. Maybe I’ll look for a coupe once he’s in a booster.
