The Date?

Hey I was wondering since i'm getting really antsy waiting for my 2004 E500 if anyone could tell me when the 04' models are being released or shipped out to the US. If anyone has any comments or thoughts please share as i'm really excited and i cant take the wait anymore. By the way i think they (dealer) told me that it would be around Aug. when it would come in. is this right? I cant take the wait anymore....

Let's see, you have June, July, August and probably September to wait, and you can't wait anymore? Blinding Flash of the Obvious...you are not there yet!!! If last year is any guide, expect very late August or probably mid-September (the 211 arrived in the USA in mid-September). Delivery dates appear to vary with your geographic location. "Come in" could mean the port, the preparation or the dealership where each step involves some amount of time. Once the shipping date is determined, most dealers can tell you what week to expect to put your butt in the seat.

I have a build date in the 2nd decade of July and they say delivery would be about 6 weeks after that so either late Aug or early Sept.

Is this for the 03 replacement or an 04?

'04, I never got an '03 since my initial build date was 02/03, but then they pulled Navi pre-wiring in 01/03.

I don't think 2004s will end up being built in the 2nd decade of July since 2003 rebuilds are still being done through the end of July. I doubt they will be building 2003 and 2004s at the same time.

Run a few searches on this board and you will discover most MB salesmen don't know jack about delivery or problems with these car...case in point...the salesman who is misinforming you. More power to you if living in a fantasy world floats your boat.

Suggestion, ask the saleman to take 25% off the cost of the car if it does not arrive by 31AUG or you will not take delivery. Let us know the reaction.
