Ordering a BTO 2022 E-450C?
I am buying out my 2019 E-450C lease for just under $40k. I could sell it immediately for at least $46k (CarMax offer), probably more. I want to replace it with a BTO ’22, not a ’21. But even dealer inventory looks scarce.
Must-haves include Massage Seats and Head-Up Display. Trying to decide whether to sell the 2019 (we have another car), or hang onto it until the market revives.
Could I get a BTO ’22 on the West Coast by mid-summer? What are you hearing? Thanks for any informed feedback.

And I'm unclear if they are now always shipping with the Hermes Communications module or whether there is enough supply to ship with it installed instead of retro-fit.
If a dealer has an allocation for an E450C, they should be able to tell you the projected delivery date. If they don't have an allocation already, you might not be able to get one there in any reasonable time frame.

Who knows, maybe my 22 E coupe will be worth big bucks later being an extremely limited run.
Found the E 53 one on another thread, thanks to forum member Wassaby for posting it: https://mbworld.org/forums/attachmen...uide-en_us.pdf

At this rate the 2023 order guides will probably be out soon.




I should add, my complaint is about the USA site.
