I asked for the release of the E450 Coupe and was told that it will be the same as the sedan that i have on order. But he expects that other deliveries of different models may be coming in a bit earlier. Lets hope....

We are going to start looking for other 2019 models in the next few weeks, to see if there is anything in the lot that may satisfy our needs. Good luck with your E450 Cab...

These posts are starting to get old. Nobody at Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC promised you a delivery date for your car. The order guides, information in NetStar, and other references have disclaimers that say quite clearly things are subject to change. All car companies have delays from time to time. **** happens. You either deal with it or go buy another car.

Sorry if your feelings are hurt, but some of us expect more. Some accept whatever they are given.
I have tried to order the car months ago, and the representatives of Mercedes- Benz USA LLC have been unable to order the car, update me, or give me details on when they would be able to order the car.

And I am dealing with it. If you do not like criticism of MBUSALLC for some odd reason, I’d suggest you refrain from perusing this forum.

I agree. It's as if people were promised a car on a specific date. The 2019s come out late summer of fall. Not sure what is so hard to grasp here.

Why don't you know if you yet have a build date? Your dealer should be able to look in NetStar and tell you in moments when your car is scheduled to be built. Maybe you need a more competent dealer.

My feelings aren’t hurt at all. Healthy criticism is important. Unfortunately, MBUSA doesn’t seem to be at fault here. They franchise to dealers who are independent. The tools needed to order a car are there. It’s not MBUSA’s fault if your dealer can’t figure them out. Hundreds of others have placed orders without issue. I’d find another dealer.

rbylaw, you got it. THAT is what my frustration is about!
Just today, after emailing my MB salesman, he wrote this back, “Your 2019 E450 is scheduled to be produced in second decade of November (between November 10-20) Sometimes next month we will have firm date of production.”

Thats nice, but I haven’t heard from him about this until I emailed today. I’m used to being better informed when I spend on big ticket items.

When I mention MB, for those who can’t tell, I’m referring to my dealer in most instances. MB controls them as all franchisers do, and as such is ultimately responsible for their functioning. Argue about independence all you want, but please let me know how many franchises you have owned if you do.

2019 E300 Release

I ordered my 2019 E450 Coupe in April. Dealer called last week and said it was built 8/19/18. He called again today and said it is due to dock in Long Beach 9/17/18. If it's true that MB has authorized release, I may get it before October 1. I hope that's true.
The dealer says he hopes it's true also, they have very little inventory, a few 2018 sedans, no coupes.
Good Luck to everyone!

I'm glad you got some news about the build decade. At least you know the car will be here, likely in December.

I'm glad to read you have some dates now. That is certainly encouraging. It seems your dealer doesn't feel it necessary to keep you updated.

In stark contrast, my experience has seen my salesperson in touch with me continuously, from the day I first drove an E63 S Wagon to an hour ago, mentioning the ship my car is on is due in port tomorrow. As soon as I knew my car was built with Pirelli tires instead of Michelin, they offered to swap them with another car (if one exists in inventory and hasn't been delivered) or replace them in order to keep me happy and the deal intact.

MBUSA has a great deal of influence on their dealer network, but there's a bad apple in every bunch. I'd recommend letting Customer Care at MBUSA know of these concerns. Inconsistency is never good.

No problem. So far it's now 5 E300s and my dealer is in Owings Mills, Maryland.

I can tell you from looking at their inventory, both Palm Beach and Ft. Pierce (Florida) started getting the E's and one other North Palm Beach dealership received a 2019 GLS. So the units are beginning to come in. We just need to be a bit patient with Mother Benz.....

I didn’t see any on their websites. Can you post a screenshot of an E model?

Captain E . Right now, the dealers are not displaying an actual vehicle photo(s) or stock photo. All they are showing is the basic vehicle ID no. etc. For Palm Beach MB, go to their website, pages 3 and 5 and you will see the 2019 E and GLS announcements. The GLS is assigned to the North Palm Beach store. It will take a few days to have pictures posted. Even the 2019 GLC's are only shown with Red color stock photos.
