Order and wait time for an E500
May 20, I went into our dealership here in Central FL and ordered an E500. I told my salesman that I had hoped to have it in time for my wifes B-Day Nov 3. Today I called and asked if he had any brochures or pricing and asked him to add the Dynamic Seats option and either E2 package or Panoramic top depending upon its price. He looked up my file and said it showed an E320 Silver/Ash, I reminded him that I was an E500 and he thought that I would take either in order to have it by Nov.
My question is what kind of wait times have you all heard for the E500??? Both my wife and I really want the V8. Also does anyone know the pricing for the Dynamic Seats and E2 Sunroof/Premium Sound or the Panoramic roof???

I put a deposit down on an E500 in the spring. My dealer called me a few weeks ago to spec the car for the order. He says that it will arrive with the first batch of cars in late August. The pricing was not available yet, if I don't like the car when it arrives he'll sell it to someone else and I can re-order for a November delivery.
The U.S. cars are currently being built and will begin to arrive in July although MBUSA will not release them until August.
If you have a good relationship with your dealer they should be able to get you a car by November, if not then try another dealer.
