My 2024 CLE53 is on order!
At last, Yay! Build date is May 23 with delivery expected mid June.
Having said that I understand that ALL MB vehicles and others built in Europe come through the port at Baltimore. Very tragic that 6 people perished but had this happened at rush hour...
There's no indication on what effect this will have on automobile deliveries but I hope that the channel can be cleared in good time.
For those interested my major options are:
- Pinnacle Trim
- Performance Seat pkg, MBTex w/Red Stitching and inserts
- AMG Dynamic Plus Pkg
- Night Edition
The car should look something like this (from the German MB website configurator):

No actual vehicle pricing yet.
Funny thing though, as a placeholder for vehicle price MB uses $7,777,777! $7.7M for a diamond encrusted Platinum sheet metal Maybach maybe.
My options totaled $7,790. I hope to have the actual numbers by next month.

Yes , the blues are quite similar, but the difference in the front styling is quite noticeable - I prefer the more aggressive ' shark' nose of the CLE . Thanks for info .

Savannah? Good to know that there are alternate ports of entry.
Baltimore looks bigger and serves the northeast and I’m sure that the pressure from the much greater shipping supply chain industry will help get the Baltimore channel open asap.

OOP'S! I read my build sheet wrong...
I guess when I get the real numbers I'll feel like I'm getting the deal of the century.
Add Carbon fiber everything, Performance Studio Pkg and Performance leather seats and I can see that adding up to $6-7 more.

MB really mixed me up with that $7,777,777 "base price". I have $12,600 in options so, my total build is $7,790,377. I only read the first 4 numbers ignoring the .377.

The sales rep drives a C63s with performance seats and he wasn't too enamored with them, felt that there wasn't enough cushioning.
Well, my fat a$$ provides plenty of cushioning and my standard C43 seats aren't cutting it so...CLE53 Performance seats it is.

performance seats make the car feel special. I'd urge anyone considering buying a new mercedes to get them.
They are more comfortable after you break them in too. First couple thousand miles, they were not as comfortable as I had hoped but I could not be happier with them now.

I hope it won't be long now...
Gee, I only got the official pricing on June 3! I hope my car made it on the boat too. End of June delivery sounds good.
How did you find out the car was on the way?
#22
That was about the same time I got the pricing, maybe a week later. My sales guy sent me the boat information from netstar. You can ask what boat it is on and when it left.
