For the GTS, I agree that 7 months is absurd. That trim did not have any significant EPA hold ups. I wonder how much of this was perhaps your dealer having to wait their turn for an appropriate allocation?
I'm not sure how they expect to remain competitive if they can't deliver cars in a quick fashion. I understand the car is good but 7 months from Order , build, delivery?
There are brand new Mclarens, Porsche and Corvettes sitting on dealer lots.
I drive by a Mclaren dealership on the way to work every day . If one of my friends hadn't gotten one weeks ago, I'd be all over it. I don't want to be. A copy cat and steal his thunder.

I think you need to pay your state tax before the car is registered. So I would pay NYS tax not California taxes.
I dont know the legistics of buying buying a car and having it shipped from another state . Assume it would be dropped somewhere? And it wouldn't be showroom fresh and there's a risk of scratches during shipping.

Well I just ordered a fully loaded cla45 to drive to the grocery store, mall, movie theatre etc. should be here late December. I'm keeping the amg GT. Lol.
definitely not as cool as all the lambos and R8s you guys are getting, but it's the perfect chore runner for me.

I got the exhaust for sure! The biggest thing I wanted, and the reason I had to order the car was I wanted the newly available dynamic package that included amg ride control suspension, front limited slip and race mode!
Iam pretty excited. My office has become a construction zone and I haven't driven my amg GT to work in ages. I can't wait to get this little car and enjoy it without worry.
