I ordered an E300 luxury style premium 3 on July 21. So far, after nearly two months, S.ithtown Mercedes Benz says they still don't k ow when they can deliver. Anyone else in the same boat?

We ordered July 1st. 4-MATIC, P-3, 2nd screen. In the US. Origionally told 8 weeks. A few weeks ago we contacted the dealer and he said it wasn't going to be built until mid October. So we hope we get it by Thanksgiving.

My Sales manager called me today. I Was glad to finally have a build timeframe, but very unhappy to find out my P3 E-Class was "always going to take this long." When I placed my order 9 weeks ago I did so with the clear understanding I would receive my car in 2 months, not the 6 months he told me today. This all seems perilously close to bate-and-switch...or Mercedes of Charlottesville has serious communication problems. In addition, he said he had this information last week! Why did it take this long to pass it on to me? When I talked with my salesman roughly 3 weeks ago he was just as mystified as I was why it was taking so long.

The sales manager implied themisunderstanding was my fault. I came within seconds of cancelling my order while talking with him today. However, I don't want to make a decision in anger. I'm going to take a couple days to consider my options and then decide whether to wait on the car or cancel and go with a different make.

Mercedes and I are getting off to a very bad start!
